Sorry if this is a repost of a topic, if it please let me know and I will delete it, but I couldn’t find one exactly like it.

This is also not a flame thread.

I’ve owned many Jeeps in my life, my current JK will have 220k on the clock whenever the Bronco arrives. But it is time she is retired. I know I am the market group Ford was aiming the Bronco at and it worked. I was considering a new JLU even after I put in my reservation but seeing the Bronco made it an easy choice to go with the blue oval for another car.

reveal prevented me from getting a Mojito green Rubi last year (well, and a foot injury and then Covid), so I won't move from a Jeep, but also won't move into one. Bronco just looks so much better to me, a perfect mix of modern and retro that the designers pulled off there, not an easy task. Love the little fins on the front fenders!

Expect some stuff better and some stuff worse than the jeep.

Sold my 2013 JKU last year in anticipation of the Bronco. Started to get impatient and was a pen stroke away from a JLU.....then came the ride along videos from the KOH event. They highlighted the capabilities and I was sold.

Yep, sold the wife's JK already, and got her a TJ for half of what we got for the JK to bridge the gap to "her" Bronco

I waited and waited for the Bronco announcement then in 2018 finally broke down and bought a Wrangler, my one of only 2 non-Ford vehicles, I've ever owned (Other was a Durango). Now that the Bronco is coming out I am patiently waiting for the trade-in.

2013 JKU w 55k miles. Primary our weekend warrior. Big debate in our house on whether or not we keep the Jeep. Wife says we have to take the Bronco wheeling first before we make our final decision.

My daily driver is 4-year-old 2-door Sahara with 24K miles (only!). It's going to be hard to give up. And I'm in no hurry. I'm looking to order maybe a 2022 at the earliest. I don't like the direction Jeep has taken over the years, which is why I'm drawn to the throw-back styling of the new Bronc.

It won’t be a true comparison, kind of stacking the deck in favor of Jeep, but I can’t afford to keep the Jeep and get a Badlands. Wouldn’t it be something if the Base hangs with the Rubicon ok though?

'18 JLU Sport S

Still on the fence. My '18 JLU will be four years old by the time Broncos are somewhat regularly on dealer lots (early 2022), and I'd like to wait a year or two after that to see how Bronco does in regards to reliability.

From what I've seen, I'm incredibly impressed, though. I just watched the Lite Brite video where they had a 4-door red Bronco, and the guy driving it is very experienced and had nothing but good things to say about it. It's going to have way better on-road manners than jeep, and I love the look of the 2-door Bronco.

Only thing missing is a hybrid, though. I really can't see my next new vehicle being anything less than a hybrid with the way the world is going.

I'm moving from a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. I haven't been with Jeep long, and have no issues with it (its been a great vehicle), however the Bronco was too enticing not to make the leap over. Other than all the great technology and features, they nailed the styling, which most automakers struggle to do with these "retro" new vehicles. Last one I owned that I thought was well done was my 2013 Camaro SS.

I've owned four Jeeps and four Broncos...Bronco for the win.

I'm Driving an 05 Rubicon Unlimited now and have been waiting for the blue oval to reenter the off road market :D
