Is Your Current Bronco Your “Forever One”?

[JBlanco]

What country would that be? Sounds really small or overpopulated

Pretty much all other countries in the world have better public transportation systems or reasonably less expensive options than the US. I'm targeting Spain, Ecuador, Colombia and Peru as my options. If I'm not working nor constrained by the time zones, Thailand is another viable choice.

Because they only made it to 100K before something broke down, suitable parts could be found with a stroll through a salvage yard.

The thing is that part of the reason why there was so many cars in the salvage yard was because vehicles where overproduced at that time to keep factories busy. The auto market has changed considerably in the past 20 years or so.

The point is that I'm betting that electronics hold up better then people expect. But also keep this in mind-do manufactures really care how long their products last that long? They design things to last roughly 150K before a major end item fails causing a major repair. That works out to be 10-15 years depending on how many miles you put on a car-average car owner in the US is about 12K miles a year I think.

Depends on my needs. If I move back to Seattle, I may sell it, unless I get property out near TrickyDick.

If I can get my hands on a modern Jimny I'll definitely sell it.

If Ford comes out with a plugin hybrid version that's just as affordable and cheap, then I'll also sell it.

I plan on keeping this one unless they come out with a Hybrid version and then I would get that. I traded in my 2021 F-150 powerboost and loved that truck, It had tons of power, 24mpg with a 700mile range on one tank and 7.2kw battery with on board generator and 4 120v outlets and 1 240v outlet. Convert that into a Bronco and it would be awesome.

2 years probably, I usually get a new car every 1-3 years. I just traded in my 2021 Bronco Sport for A Base big bronco

Unfortunately I had to sell my Badlands 6 months after delivery. Thanks to being on workman’s comp due to a work place injury.
I did reorder a fully loaded Wildtrak march 27, I might flip my order to the new Ranger Raptor tomorrow.

i have dreamed of having a forever ride
i looked at ram chargers..scouts..trail dusters and yes broncos and blazers
and my fav 2004 expedition nbx v8 it was almost a keeper but lacked wow factor
all the oldies where out of my budget and along came the 6g bronco
bam lights went off and yeah ... 4dr black diamond sas area 51 soft top 2.7l mid package
already blow off valve full alpine Stereo with mti tailgate sub and front tints
next true size 35" (35.10) like super swampers so no lift needed love my Bilstein shocks
turned me into a rock star chatted up everywhere i go chicks dig it

Yeah. I've always been into Muscle cars. This is the first modern 4x4 that I love just as much if not more that has the cool factor and fun factor going for it. Like I've said for awhile the new 6g Bronco is like a big toy real life Tonka Truck.

I thought my non-Sasquatch 2-door Blackdiamond would be the last vehicle I buy for a long time, but I've since fallen in love with the idea of owning a '23 Wildtrak, which I ordered in March. If that order doesn't get picked up for production this year, I'll most likely keep the BD I have until some other "new Bronco" catches my eye.

 

[MidnightSpecial]

I plan on keeping the Raptor for the long term. Not sure I'll be able to afford the next iteration with the way that cars are going. This will probably be my Colorado Hot Rod and buy a cheap daily to put miles on.

 

[NorthShoreBronco]

Keeping my 2 door Badlands. My wife's 4 door we will trade for a Hybrid once they are availlable.

 

[eljefe512]

if Broncos are still around by that point

They won't even all be built in 5 years. (Apologies to those still waiting.)

 

[JDav]

kinda what I was thinkin as well as I'm approaching 55 this fall. I may get a project car for fun, but that will likely be a fox body that needs some work.

FTR - another option for project car is a factory five cobra to build with my sons and my dad since he's still alive.

I built a Factory Five cobra a few years ago - it was such a fun build process. It will definitely be a forever car for me.

I didn't track my actual work hours, but it took me 9 months to get it drivable. Then sent it out for paint and body work with some final details after that.
I worked on it most nights after work for a couple of hours and most weekends for several hours.
