The best and worst dates were all relatives? Yep, Louisiana checks out.
LOL The irony of this post.
Karen, it's a fanboy Ford forum. People nitpick on all fanboy forums.
If it bothers you that much where you have to comment, then stop reading the forum 24 hrs a day.
Also - yes - the Bronco is worth it.

We have had ours for less than a week and haven't been able to drive it the last two day due to ice (yes, I have faith it is more than capable, but I don't trust Memphis drivers, especially on ice covered streets) but so very happy to have it and everything we hoped, and more. Looking forward to the warmer weather and getting it dirty.
If interested, our story from this last weekend how we got it plus photos is here:

Worth the wait! I can’t wait for my days off to drive it. Happy looking at it as I walk by when I get home everyday.

Love it!
Been a Ford guy for over 40 years and between the reservation fiasco and delays I was ready to skip town. The wait finally paid off when my Badlands was deliverered 1st week of December. Overall, worth the wait (not to be repeated-the wait)! Drives on and off road like it owns! Better than expected mpg, goes through snow like better than a snowplow, behaves nicely on icey roads and great smiles/miles. Awesome rig! Also, kudos to Fremont Motors in Riverton, Wyoming. Awesome purchasing experience and knowledgeable staff.

I'd say fun/exciting/interesting experiences are worth it. And if Bronco is a tool for you to have those, then Bronco is worth it. (I think it can be a fantastic tool for that stuff.) On the other hand, if not going anywhere a Ford Focus couldn't take you, well ...
The "time thing" is also a factor though. Meaning no one is making more time. So I'd say try not to get stuck waiting for all the fun/exciting/interesting experiences you could be having, while waiting for a Bronco.

Yeah--I moved here six years ago from Ohio, but from Michigan and lived in Chicago (Grayslake, Buffalo Grove and worked in the Loop) and Wisconsin. I can drive on snow and ice; they cannot, even on a sunny, dry day.
Beautiful Bronco, I just picked up my 22 Wildtrak 4 door. Quick question, where did you get the blacked out Ford badge on your tailgate? ThanksIt WAS worth the wait! Love it!

small world, I lived in Antioch and worked in the loop for 10yrs then got a job at a big pharmaco in Lake Cty, I'm sure you know which one...
when covid hit I saw a chance to work remote and took it so I could get out, brother did the same, he's at fedex now.Disclaimer...I'm in the same boat as you and I don't have my Bronco yet (later this week/early next).
I've had a F-150 since my senior year in high school. From getting a job to pay for half of the payment to eventually being able to afford my own with no help from mom/dad....6 F-150's (leases, obviously).
I'll flat out tell you that maybe since that first 2007 F-150 after graduation, I haven't felt this level of excitement about getting a new vehicle. You can jump on any message board about anything....there's ALWAYS going to be negativity on that message board. Trucks, cars, lingerie, sports teams, sex lube, movies/TV....message boards are an easy way to nitpick things.
However, don't take all of the negativity/nitpicking/dislikes as people just complaining to complain. I'm sure 98% of them are valid and may be good to know so you can potentially do something different with an accessory, tires/wheels, racks, etc.
Just because someone else doesn't like something on the Bronco doesn't mean you will and vice versa.
I know the pros/cons...likes/dislikes of the Bronco and I'm not any less excited. If I don't like it? 3 years down the road I'll get another F-150 (if they're not $125,000 by then). If I like my Bronco, I'll order another one.
If you don't like it, you can always sell it and go with something else.
Be excited!
