Starting to get pulled in another direction...(sadly)

[Yes1Please]

Have always wanted to be able to hit the trails, beach, areas uncharted but never had a vehicle that could take me and my family.
Decided 1.5 years ago that it was time. After researching, landed on the new Bronco. Was super excited!
15 months later, I'm starting to really look at Jeep as a option.
Interest rates have and are continuing to go up, trade in value are slowly starting to drop and I have already missed a full year of potential outdoor fun.
With no clear understanding of when I could get my Bronco I'm being pulled more and more into looking at options Jeep offers.
Several key things on the Bronco would be missed but some are closely offset by what Jeep offers.
I hate being in this situation

Anyone else coming up with or already have a plan "B" with a set time line?

What is your plan B?

I switched to another vehicle by committing on July 5, drove it home august 10, so happy with my decision, and my only regret is losing a year of fun in my new vehicle while waiting for Ford to pull their thumb out.

It‘s just a car. Make a decision. If you can’t wait, then buy something different.

Very true, it's just hard when you finally pick something you really want only to realize through all that's changed over time you may need to move on from it.

I am currently having a friend lift my bronco. He does this for a living. He gave me a rubicon jeep to use for the couple days he will have it. Its a night and day difference driving a solid axle jeep. My wife drove it for a mile and made me drive. Constant wheel correction. This is a newer jeep. Hopefully you have driven the jeep on highway etc. Major ride quality difference for sure. If you will be rock crawling every weekend then yeah get the jeep. But imo the bronco becuz of the IFS is a clear winner in ride quality. Not even close.

Wait or find one on a dealer lot to buy. I got sick of waiting. Bought a jeep liked it at first but it just didn't hit the mark for me. The ride quality is junk compared to the bronco. The bronco has more room. The bronco engine hauls ass and it not just another jeep!! There are a few other things that sets it apart. But I am also a ford guy. Started seeing more and more Broncos. So I found one on a dealer lot bought it and has no regrets. Eventually my order was delivered and now i have two broncos. Only regret I have was buying the jeep. Should have found a bronco then instead of waiting.

If you want a Bronco, wait, if you want a car to drive around then buy whatever fits the need.

That's the biggest hold back for me when looking at the Jeep. I won't be a big "rock crawling" guy. But want to be in the outdoors as much as life allows and want my rig to be able to take me wherever the trails allow.
Same time, will be a daily driver...

Bronco, if it ever arrives, will be my Daily Driver. At this point, I regret simply not ordering another Mustang 18 months ago, because that would have been built 17 months ago.

I've owned a Jeep, it was not a good vehicle. I see no reason to put up with Jeep's notorious electrical gremlins ever again.

Much appreciated, looking for real life experiences between options.
This will be our first "new car order" and first for us spending anything over 30k on a vehicle.
Want things to match what we really want (as close as possible).

What is your plan B?

Here is my 87cents: I was in the same position you are. Early reservation and order holder. Pushed to 2022MY. After over a year I started looking at Jeeps. Not that impressed. I was even looking at Land Rovers. Money was not an issue....I just wanted a new 4X4. I continued to wait. Ordered me a new Ranger Tremor with the intention of canceling the Bronco. Wife said to get it anyway ("keep both"). After a while I ordered so many accessories, it made no sense to cancel. So I didn't. 2 years to the day July 15, 2022, I finally got my Bronco. So many have said, "it is worth the wait"....well I have to agree. Difficult as hell, but, I love this machine and it was "worth the wait". My bet, you get yours over the next 6 months. I hope you can hang in there, a lot of us did and are very happy we did. Come to this page often and learn. Maybe start buying accessories (not color specific) and watching install videos, etc. Something to pass the time.

I agree with all of this. The ride on the Jeep is rough and rocks back and fourth. Less room....all of that. The Bronco while very off road capable is also great on the Highway and would make a great daily driver as well.

My 2 year wait BRONCO:

Thanks Brother.
Damn you and your CO. That what I had on the original order lol. Yours looks great!

Bronco is my absolute best choice. Never thought originally I'd ever have to consider something else

I've got 6 more months in me. Just don't want to miss adventures next year with the family!
