What's your unpopular Bronco opinion?

[AZ_Liberty]

All trim levels should have a 5.0L V8 option.

With a Manual.

1. A 4-door is not a true Bronco *ducks*
2. Soft tops look hideous
3. Rear bumper looks cheap

Yeah, gender is not complicated to me, but I believe the science .

My point with the Crown Vic is I don't think a parallel-rail frame used as the basic vehicle architecture defines what is a (light-duty) "truck". The Ridgeline is a pickup truck. It has a cab and a open box to carry stuff in. Body style and purpose are what differentiates the various nouns to describe a vehicle. Just as pronouns refer to gender, since you brought it up.

The collision industry argument is analogous to the medical industry use of terms; a "myocardial infarction" is a heart attack in layman's term.

If it hasn't been pointed out already the only science that gender (as opposed to sex) has anything to do with is the social type, which is anything but believable.

Nah. No purple heart here (and tons of respect for those who do have them).
Probably a poor taste joke in retrospect if taken the wrong way.
It was 100% a nod to the jokes made of Cotton Hill getting his shins shot off in the war.

Cotton Hill Oh this thread is the best.

But twice as cool.

To be honest, I was going to say: twice as pretty but half as useful.

Sasquatch package makes every single trim look worse (cartoonish proportions)

This is wrong on so many levels.

Fully will admit, I took style over substance. And I promise you when I have a kid, I will be driving a 4-door.

My unpopular opinion is my Bronco staying STOCK BABY!!!
Yes will get dirty etc but I’m not a wrencher and love it in stock form.

That being said still waiting for it to be built haha

Hey you're not wrong, I'm just saying I would have appreciated it if Ford had looked at the last 5ish years of Jeep colors and said "We can do better" rather than "Let's play it safe"

Or done what VW recently did with the Spektrum program

While I certainly won't scoff at VW's "sub-exotic" paint program it does need a reference point.

It was a 2019 program only, and only if you bought a Golf R which MSRP'd at $41K (before options, plus D&D), and then the paint program was an extra $2,500. This easily resulted in OTD prices nearing $60K..... For a Golf...

It was also an outgoing model to be replaced by an all-new vehicle in 2020, and STILL only sold 4,223 units. This was 100% a program designed to scrap together a few last-model-year sales of a long-in-the-tooth vehicle. Bronco this is not.

Lightning Blue First Editions are already rarer than that (and some people STILL bought their First Editions in other colors! )

You could easily argue that the Ranger SPLASH! and limited edition Bronco trim levels (Heritage alluded to, Everglades is already getting VIN's) are drastically more exclusive than Spektrum was given the volume of production. Now, that the SPLASH! "colors" all suck is another matter.... (Having multiple shades of mushroom and off-white isn't exactly inspiriting for a lifestyle brand)

Ford's been incredibly conservative with colors on Bronco. I'd expect that to loosen up quite a bit by MY25 when the initial new model interest has died down predictably. Then we go roll our Broncos in Moab to insurance-out a new spec Bronco in the fun colors that eventually come!

If people are arguing with you on here, then your opinion is actually unpopular. Well done.

I got a bunch of and reactions on my opinion, so I’d agree with you.

This is wrong on so many levels.

Indeed. 35s are the most appropriate size to fit the proportions. But this is the unpopular opinion thread and that certainly fits.

Thought of another one. The SAS package is a ripoff and you can do the same things with aftermarket stuff for 1/3 the price.

Are you joking?

•Wheels and tire takeoffs are selling for $2000-2500
•Front and rear axle assemblies are $3900, not sure if it includes everything you need to wire the lockers to the blank hero switch spots
•someone on this forum has priced out just the coilovers, shocks, and springs for $1300.

That’s $7,200 as a low estimate with no labor included for a $6,000 option from the factory, hardly a ripoff. Good luck finding aftermarket options that accomplish what the Sasquatch package offers for $2,000.

Dont know if anyone mentioned... Naming Your Bronco.......... Yay ---- Nay ???

I think someone mentioned it way back. I would hope most people hate the idea of naming your car/ truck/ svu, it's just ridiculous.
"Everyone, meet Peach Fuzz. Peach Fuzz, this is everyone. Me and ol' Peach are going to have some super adventures!"
I swear some Bronco owner's want to have sex with it like it was a Mercury Mistress

Wow. 45 pages in a day and a half. I read the OP as "calling all trolls".

Didn't think this thread would be so unpopular
