What are you giving up to get a Bronco ?

[Blksn955.o]

Been planning this since I heard the Bronco was a go. I was hoping my 09 Fusion would make it...and it did not...my fault on this one. Thankfully if there is a bright spot in the whole Covid thing I have been working full time remote since mid March and probably will not go back into the office until at least after the new year. Same with the wife so we have been getting by with our 17 Escape and when needed the 94 Mustang.

So I guess I gave up having my daily at a perfect time when I did not need a daily. This is also why waiting for late availability is just not practical for me/us.

Anyway just wanted to ask what people are trading in or selling to get into a new bronco and if they are starting to maybe question if their old beloved landcruiser (for example) would be difficult to give up....

I'm giving up part of the balance in my retirement account. I figure I might as well enjoy it as let my children inherit it after I"m gone.

I'm still working on convincing my wife that I need to make this big purchase.

Hey guys,

My first post, put in a reservation in September for 4 door BL. I recently moved to the usa and purchased a 2006 cayenne turbo s and fitted some open country tires to it for moderate exploration duties.

I am now on the fence as my old cayenne is fully loaded and is a pleasure to drive. Clearly will be nowhere as capable as the BL offroad. My cayenne was a cash purchase, my ideal BL build will run around 56k which I would be financing. Roughly 1k per month seems like a lot for not a lot of difference in driving experience (on road at least).

Would be interested to see what the old vs the new feelings are ?

Thanks

I’m not giving up or selling anything for the Bronco. It’s a toy for weekends. I sold my last toy (FJ Cruiser) and want a better one. The thing I am giving up is my dream to buy a heavily built and restored Gen1 Bronco. This is replacing that as a wish.

I’m putting my Titan out to pasture.

1. 2002 Excursion Limited 4x4 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel with 244k, had for 12 years and put 150k on it. Best vehicle I’ve ever purchased and planned on keeping forever.

and

2. 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser with factory triple lockers, 258k also planned on keeping forever.

Lifelong Cruiser fanatic, Keeping the wife’s ‘13 Cruiser and will update that in a few years, but the Bronco will be my daily driver.

I’m giving up having to make a choice between the Bronco 4dr BD, 2021 Gladiator Sports S Diesel, and 2021 Land Rover 110 S. I love all three for various reasons.

Nothing. This is want not a need. I’m never selling my Tacoma. Our eldest is 13 so I’m shopping for a new off-road rig that I can daily, kiddo can “use” my truck when she gets her license. I can wait another two years if push comes to shove.

My house. I was planning on selling my house so this is good timing. I will then rent, or live out of my Bronco ?. I've had enough of the home maintenance etc. Want to spend more time camping etc.

Giving up my Wrangler to one of my sons who turns 16 next year. FCA is giving up an order for a new Rubicon. ?

Don't take this the wrong way because I really do mean it in a big brother, sincere loving way:
But, you're an idiot.

Not a damn thing! My F150 isn't worth much for trade so I'm keeping it and it will be camper duty

 

[HJ61DON]

Really enjoyed reading these responses. There is some nice machinery here that will be put to pasture for lighter duties or passed on to another careful owner. I guess if this truck is as reliable as Ford would have us/ want us to believe then it will earn its keep in always getting you home. Which I guess is priceless.

Biggest give-up movers were motorcycles. Said goodbye to a Ducati Hypermotard SP and a KTM 790r Adventure. Said hello to a new Husqvarna FE 501s dual sport and carry it to the dirt to ride. Will trade in my Subaru Crosstrek for the Bronco. NOT giving up the 2017 Porsche 911 C2s or my wife's Lexus RX450h. Next car after the Bronco will be whatever my wife wants. Good chance it will be something electric.
