What are you cross-shopping the Bronco against?

[KindaOrange]

If Ford can't get the Bronco to me in time, I'm buying a White 2dr Jeep Willys with Tan soft-top & tan interior.

After I made my reservation and realized I was committed to buying another vehicle, I decided to shop around some. I've considered mostly Toyota FJs and trucks (old and new), and even looked at Jeeps. But, I keep coming back to the Bronco. Too many good memories with them (had a '76 many years ago). I want a Bronco. No longer considering anything else.

Ranger, but I'd wait for the next iteration that's supposed to come with a better off-road package. Or, Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison package. I love the Bronco, it's my top choice, but practicality might win out.

So I'm all in on the Bronco, but when it comes time to actually place my order, I will be looking at a few different vehicles to get an idea if the Bronc is really what I want to buy. So tell us, what are you cross shopping the Bronco against and why?

If I order a Bronco, it'll probably be a 2-dr Badlands, 2.7 auto, High Package, Towing Package, Roof rack. Looking at about $50k invoice w/ destination.

Here's what I'm looking at to compare:
2021 F-150 XLT Super Crew w/ 3.5 Hybrid (or 3.5 EB / 5.0 V8) FX4 package - $49k MSRP
2020 F-250 XLT Super Crew w/ 7.3 V8 & Tremor Package - $51k MSRP
2nd Gen. Raptor Super Crew - $45k-$55k depending on miles

And then out of left field:
Jeep TJ soft-top/half doors w/ I6 + 18ft. bowrider boat - $30k-$40k total

The topless cruising that the Bronco and Jeep provide call to me, but also I like big vehicles and big engines, so that F-250 w/ Tremor is really enticing (especially if I can find one with $10k on the hood like most full-size trucks). I have NO need for a truck (but I also have no need for a Bronco).

What will you all be looking at instead of the Bronco? I assume lots of 4Runners and Gladiators?

Before even Bronco was revealed, my 2015 Mustang was coming to end of Lease this year and my Dealer reached out to me saying, they can take the car in 8 months before the end of Lease date. Then I started to look for another car to make up mind and turn the Lease in:

2021 Mercedez benz GLB
2021 Mercedes Benz GLA
2020 Ford Explorer XLT
2017 Audi Q7 (used)
2015 Lexus LX470 (used)

Then Lo Behold I saw the Bronco Leaks and Reveal. I simply went to my Ford Dealer and turned in my Mustang and got a Fusion (got 6000 off on the New Models as this Year will be last production model)as the Lease will end in 2023 and its the right time for me get the Base Bronco.

Been eyeing the 4 Door Rubicon for years, wanted to wait for the JL launch, and learned about the Bronco. Waited for the Bronco (I'm very patient) and glad I did because it solved for everything I disliked about the Wrangler, which wasn't much, but enough to make the decision easy. Still a big a fan of Jeep and depending on how the Bronco prices out, may still go Wrangler. I've been through a lot of vehicles over the years and the Jeep Commander was my favorite of them all. The Bronco will be my 1st Ford Vehicle (other than the ford engi motorhome)

Also all-in on the Bronco. I have been eyeing the 4 Door Rubicon for years, waited for the JL launch, and learned about the Bronco.

Still a big fan of Jeep and depending on how the Bronco prices out, may still go with a Wrangler. I've been through a lot of vehicles over the years and the Jeep Commander was my favorite of them all. The Bronco will be my 1st Ford Vehicle (other than the ford engine in my motorhome).

That being said, the 1st Generation Bronco has always been a favorite of mine. It was never a practicle purchase which, for me, adds to the excitement around the re-release!

At this point, it is Bronco or bust for me.

I was previously looking for a new car for my wife (MB GLB and Porsche Macan were options) and I would inherit her Acura MDX but after the Bronco was revealed, I will be getting the new car this time.

Gladiator Mojave or Ram Rebel . Can get great deals on either one. But really want the Bronco so I will wait Patiently

If you’re cross shopping the Bronco with another vehicle I am afraid you haven’t really gotten to understand what the Bronco is really about. ?

 

[Bison]

The wife wanted an off road rig for herself so we test drove a 4 runner, zr2 bison, gladiator, and the JL!! I made her wait to see what the bronco would be like. She likes the bronco so we will wait.

 

[NHWolverine_12]

I'm all about the Bronco and am planning to buy one. However, if I weren't going to buy the Bronco currently I would be looking at either the Ranger or Tacoma. I'm happy with waiting for the Bronco though and hope by the time I'm ready to buy another vehicle again the Bronco truck will have been out for a couple of years and I can find a used one and hold on to my current Bronco along with the truck.

 

[Ajusaf]

For the same price as the bronco BD +, you can get an Audi Q5 or an explorer etc.. Even the new full size SUV's that kIA and hynduai has are really nice. I'm def going to lease just to avoid spending extra$$ because I'm waiting for my tesla cyber truck that I reserved. Cybertruck might take 2-3 years to receive, since I have over 600k reservations ahead of me

 

[hemiblas]

I'm not looking at anything else right now. 2022 is pretty far away though. I can't really tell you what will happen between now and then. I can't even decide on which Bronco I want there are so many choices and it will depend on how I am financially a year from now.

 

[Boxer4]

I'm in talks with three dealers right now on leftover 2019 GT350s. I haven't had a sporty car since I sold my '06 GTO.

I'm also considering just going back to another 4 door wrangler since the Bronco I want, velocity blue, most likely wont' be available until 2022 since the color is "late availability." I could drive the wrangler for 2 years then order my velocity blue whenever it actually becomes available.

I actually sold the F150 in my profile pic on carvana after seeing a thread about how much money people were getting. So I'm sans vehicle and getting antsy.

From the Brand Manager today at the Super Bronco event "

• Velocity Blue said to be available at the same time as all of the other colors "

Saw that, and that throws a wrench into all this cross shopping talk.

The Tremor package?
