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?
Leaning HARD on a 4Runner right now. Just so damn capable, and proven. Yeah, way dated, I get that. Concerned about space too. I'm 6'-2".
But damn, these thing get it done with little issue.
I am def going to order my Bronco, just think it won't be quite the same...
all the removable panels, etc....
Rattely and a mess down the road in a few years?
Who knows?
Maybe best bet is F150 Tremor!

If the Bronco falls through, then I will be waiting for the 400Z or go classic sports car.

Not sure if I should post this but I am looking at the Bronco WT VS the Hummer EV. Do I stick with the Fossil Fuels (which I think I am) or do I help the O-zone layer and still have a truck that is bad ass.

1994 Geo Metro XFi for its superb 75mpg highway terrorization.
Or do I opt for the new 2022 white top Bronco Badlands? Choices...choices...

I was looking yesterday to get a feel for the market and there was nothing that even compared to the Bronco at the same price point. I mean there was a Honda Pilot for $50K that had some of the same features (sunroof, LED headlights, heated seats, etc.) but its not even close. I occasionally have the thought that I don't need to spend so much on a car and go with something more reasonable but I would hate myself for passing on this and have life long regret.

That is beautiful! LOVE the green!
What are the wheels, tires and roof rack?
Oh, and winch?
Also, how tall are you?
Space and headroom are a huge concern for me at 6'-2". I don't fit well in a lot of vehicles.

Thanks! I bought it built out.... and it is perfect. I am under 6 foot, but the driver seat does go down and my Son (6'2" fits), but the passenger seat is not auto, so it is tight.

I've been thinking the F-150 Tremor would be more appropriate than the Bronco for what I will actually use it for. Decisions....decisions.
