What's your unpopular Bronco opinion?

[foreWard]

One of the biggest reasons I ordered a Bronco is because it looks like a Scout!

I bought one because it reminds me of my grandfather's 78 Scout, also! And hope to hand it down to my grandkids one day. (My grandfather sold his and I still wish he kept it...)

I live in Southern CA and I've seen Civics and Accords with BMW badging. Always good for a laugh.

Lol, I lived in NorCal for twenty years and saw lots of BMW badges on rice burners with ratty exhausts. The Scout badging on the Bronco is clever especially since the Scout has been out of production so long. I’m contemplating doing it to mine as I really don’t like the fender sticker on mine.

1. No one cares how early you reserved your Bronco or how long you've waited for it.
2. The v6 has twice as much power as your old v-8 and gets twice the mileage. No one wants to hear your flow masters grumble around.
3. Manuals are stupid. You're not "more connected to your vehicle" you're just trying to keep worthless outdated technology alive.
4. the 6th gen Bronco in any trim or optioned level is infinitely better than any previous Bronco. They were all underpowered garbage that rode like trash.
5. Molle panels and tailgate table are worthless.

It was more exciting to want it than to actually own it. Just not as exciting as I had hoped.

Yep. I worked in the collision repair industry for two decades and cars/crossovers are unibody and trucks are body on frame. The Bronco is not unibody. SUV is suitable Bronco terminology but so is truck. It can be both. Suburbans and Expeditions are truck suvs, Traverses and Edges are not. Chevy went soft with their new Blazer and made it unibody.

To complicate things just a bit more, many of us old farts would maintain that, when talking about pickup trucks, the term "unibody" can also mean a body-on-frame truck with a unified cab and pickup bed. The early 60's Ford pickups of this variety were commonly called "unibody" long before frame-less vehicles became common.

I get a kick out of all the 2-door vs 4-door banter, but honestly like them both equally. I ended up going with the 2-door because I had an old CJ-5 in high school, and wanted that nostalgic vibe of a short wheelbase, topless, off road vehicle. Would have been just as stoked to have ended up with a 4-door though. They’re both badass and they’re both legit Broncos!

36 pages of hate, yet we all sit here bitching about it taking so long for someone to take our money so we can have one of these damn things.

I guess there's a trim/tire/wheel/suspension/door/badge/color/top/(insert your unpopular oppinion)package for everyone. That is what makes the Bronco great in my opinion. (popular or not)

Hardware, not software, is what makes the Bronco great. Lockers, low range, manual transmission with crawler gear, ground clearance, approach, departure, and break over (2 door), big tires, and steel bumper with winch are what make it special. It would be or is better without automatic climate control, auto stop start, screen gauges, cameras and sensors beeping, and push button start. Goat modes get way too much attention.

Let me guess, you own Cyber Orange School Bus!

Nah, 2-door (Real Bronco ) Shadow Black as indicated by my avatar.
Cyber Orange second place worst color.

I really want a soft top for the summer for the 2DR. As much as I want to like the fastback (I like it on the 4door even) I think it makes the 2DR look FUGLY as hell. Compromised with the sunrider for now.

Agree completely. My dad was born in 1930 and an avid car guy who also raced Indian and Harley motorcycles back in the 1940's and 1950's. l grew up at his side working on cars and I'm familiar with the original "unibody" terminology. Love the old Ford!!

 

[Stache12]

Yup. Unpopular opinion, cheap spacer lift and larger heavier tires are not compatible with rock crawling.

Yep, saw that video too

Stop mixing the Bronco script and trim badges. Pick one or the other. I’ve never seen the combination look good. Are people just scared to commit to the script and can’t bring themselves to pulling the decal off?

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS

Ford is on track to sell 100,000 Broncos this year and that is with the constraints. Around 40% of orders are 2 door Broncos, so that is 40,000 of them. That is more than they sold of the mustang (31,950). SO, with a little math, you can see that the 2 door would be just fine without the station wagon version being sold.....

Where’d you get 40%??? By all accounts from people on here who work for Ford, the order rate for 2-doors is about 17%. Got any documentation that refutes that?

news flash there skippy, when Ford started teasing the bronco's return it was always a two door variant. The 4dr abomination although it shares the name, shouldn't exist. Corporate greed allows it to!

”Corporate greed”! Haha! You have trouble with companies going where the market demands? I hope you don’t own a business, SKIPPY…

I think my 4 door Cyber Orange softie OBX looks perfect with the stock tires and is exactly as capable as I need it to be.
