HI all,
I've been eyeing up the Bronco for some time. My family just wasn't at the right age when they first had orders available. We finally are at a place in time that we were ready to trade in the minivan and buy a fun car for the family.
By the time we had test drove a Bronco, rented one off turo to make sure we liked it, I had just missed the cutoff time for ordering this year (2022). Super bummed and deflated I nearly bought a Wrangler to hold me over till I could place my Bronco order. I passed on wranglers because they have some significant widespread problems with paint bubbling at the hinges.
I thought I was destined to be without a fun car for another year or two. I came up with another plan...adjust my expectations for what I want and buy what is available today. Then when the order banks come back online, place an order for exactly what I want.
I found a dealer near my home that had a Big Bend available and what I'd consider a fair ADM (4k). Traded in the van last night and I'm driving a Bronco today! I absolutely love it so far. Meets and exceeds what I was hoping for.
Looking forward to great advice and conversation with you all here!
