What did your Bronco replace?

[8cam]

This would have been a tough one for me.

It was really tough. It was a unique rig, amazing capabilities and I had a huge number of trips in it. And that custom turbo setup made it so much better. But. I'm 55 years old and the maintenance was getting tough for me. The last straw was a blown turbo wastegate actuator - a $30 part. But it took me two weeks of painful labor to get that sucker changed out, so I could make a trip out west. Then the day before I was to leave, I managed to blow out the front right brake line which lead to replacing lines at all 4 corners, the brake master and the vacuum booster - I mean I REALLY blew the brakes. I made the trip and got to see my favorite place (the San Juans) one more time in the cruiser. But it was just too much for me, and I can't afford to pay a shop every time. Yes the Bronco was expensive, but it's bulletproof (knock on wood), has a warranty, has about 90% of the capability of the cruiser off-road and is about 200% better on-road.

Nothing replaced...added to the stable of vehicles (for now).

I sold my 2017 VW Jetta when my Bronco was built.

only reason I bought the Jetta, was work related- I had sold my 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee for it, to commute. I’ll get a beater again and not daily the bronco, but for now- it’s a blast!

Legit really miss this car. 225k+ miles and still rock solid.

My cousin was turning 16 and wanted a manual car. So I ended up selling him my 2012 Subaru Legacy with 53k miles on it.
After looking at new cars that still had manual, narrowed it down to a Tacoma or Bronco.
The Bronco I ordered went into production on 1/3/24.

I miss having the bed sometimes, but the Bronco is much more enjoyable to drive everyday. The Taco definitely had better fit/finish and probably long-term reliability, though.

2019 Mustang Eco Boost premium 2.7L

I traded up for a bigger Pony

In a roundabout way it replaced my 2018 F150. I traded my F150 in for the wife's Explorer. I drove my beater 98 Explorer until the Bronco came in.

Technically it replaced my 2006 Mustang Convertible. In Practice, I had to drive my wife's damn Expedition for 18 months while waiting for Ford to actually build the Bronco.

I've always been into sports cars but have had a Rubicon. I also raced off-road motorcycles and run SxS's.

After a ship hauling Porsches and other VW group vehicles sank during the summer of 2022 already inflated Porsche prices went even higher. I took my 911 Turbo S in for service and the dealer was interested in a buy-back. I drove the car for five summers, (it was fantastic), and the dealer offered within 12% of what I paid five years earlier. Tough to resist so it went. Hoping for another one when/if prices settle down.

My problem with cars is that I have a farm that is about 1.5 miles off the hard road. If weather isn't perfect there's no getting out without covering it with dirt or mud and doing that to a 911 Turbo S just felt wrong.

I sold the Comanche nearly a year before getting my first Bronco, so not exactly a direct replacement, but it does occupy the same space in the shop. This was the development mule for most of our Jeep products, and my Wildtrak is the Guinea pig for all the new stuff, so I suppose they are the same in that way too.
