The two radically different Bronco buyers are "image" buyers and "utility" buyers. Some image buyers can wait forever, since they are buying the image. But the utility buyers have a real utility use for the vehicle, and may look elsewhere.
I feel like this is backwards though. The image buyers are the ones wanting it now for the parking lot flexing. The utilitarian buyers that know what a Wrangler, 4Runner and the like are want the Bronco for the Bronco.
A guy buying a hammer to mostly sit and admire it can wait. He ain't hitting any nails with it anyway. A guy buying a hammer, because he actually will hit nails with it, is less inclined to sit around waiting. Instead he'll go buy a different hammer to get the job done.
Buyer wants an new hammer that has not yet been made, frustrated with waiting for said hammer they buy a stapler to hammer their nails instead.
They buy a Wrangler. Or like me they already own a Wrangler, CJ and Series Land Rover. People buying for actual usage typically don't sit around waiting. Don't get me wrong, I love what Ford has done with the new Bronco. But there are other nice hammers to get the job done.
This is why I bought my Jeep 2 years ago. Pretty crazy I can still sell it for around my purchase price two years and 20k later!
I guess Iām in a third group. I didnāt have much interest in hitting the nails until this pretty hammer was revealed.
This is exactly the user group I fall into as well
ditto to all of this! I considered a jeep prior to reserving a Bronco but honestly would rather shell out a pretty penny for a vintage 60s bronco than any kind of jeep. Jeeps just arent my cuppa tea in the design department, but would fulfill the outdoors off-roading driving Im
) I really thought that the vehicle served the more outdoors for fun niche and im just curious if people will be using it for work? Would love to see the Bronco being used as a utility vehicle just not sure in what job market yāall are looking to utilize it for.
If I didn't hate the way the driver positioning is in the Tacoma I'd probably have one. Great dependable truck.
Until my SO and I went to Utah and all 5 national parks over new years, did some light off-roading in an F-Paceditto to all of this!

Interested in to get me where I want to go for the hiking, mountain biking, trail running bit.
just out of sheer curiosity, what about the bronco are people interested in for the utility bit? Please no one take offense that Im asking (Iāve noticed a lot of that on here lately hence why Iāve taken a bit of a hiatus
, and saw all the 4Runners and Wranglers in the areas we were in we didn't know what we wanted to get as a second vehicle. Drove a 4Runner, Wrangler, RDX, Outback XT, Venza, Sorento, Crosstrek, Bronco Sport and rented an F-Pace. The Jeep attributes and modularity with the modern 60's styling that is far and above more attractive than a Wrangler is what sold us. My SO can't wait to daily it to work and we both can't wait to take the dog and some gear on a weekend excursion off the pavement and away from the hustle and bustle of the metro.
