On vacation in Kentucky and saw a Cyber Orange Bronco Badlands. I’ve gotta say Ford did a real nice job with the Bronco. Currently got a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU and it was nice comparing the two. I will say the Bronco feels like a much larger vehicle. Don’t know if this one had the Sasquatch package, but it still seemed larger width wise. I didn’t drive it, but did sit in it.
The exterior looks great and there’s not much to say about it other than the soft top. It looks kinda crappy compared to the one on my Jeep, the windows look saggy, but I think a fastback soft top would look better on it anyway.
The interior is also really nice. The dashbord feels higher up then in my Jeep, which gives it a more sunken-in and truck like feeling. I’m 6’2 and 200 Ibs and felt very comfortable. I installed a seat lowering kit in my Jeep because my head hit the roll bar, which wasn’t to hard, but the Bronco has it set up already. The drivers seat also felt more comfortable, probably because it had less bolstering. The Jeep has a bit too much which rounds your shoulders forward if you’re too wide for it. Head room felt nice and overall the front seat felt a bit more comfortable than my Jeep. My only gripes were the feeling of the marine-grade vinyl seats and the texture of the plastic. The vinyl feels very plasticy, which is great on a lower trim, but for $52,000 I would opt for a nicer vinyl or leather. I’ve also noticed that in every Ford car I’ve been in, it feels like it’s built with cardboard. The Bronco feels less like this, but I still get that feeling. I know it’s a highly debated topic, but the plastic looks a bit cheap to me. Most probably won’t care, but I tend to notice that kind of stuff in cars. Would have preferred if they had given it a leather texture like some of the plastic in my Jeep.
Overall I really love the Bronco. I think overtime, stuff will get worked out and refreshes will take care of some of the kinks. Exterior wise, I love the Jeep and the Bronco. They both look distinct and have great designs. Interior design I have to give to the Bronco. It just feels more roomy compared to the Jeep. Texture wise I prefer the Jeeps materials. Some of the stuff in the Bronco felt like the inside of a JK. Jeep has been in this segment forever and has grown along with it, so it’s easily understandable that they know the quality people would like.
If they come out with an electric one in 10 years or so, when my Jeep goes to the big trail in the sky, I’d definitely take a hard look at it.
