Which do I pick?

[CoolContractor]

Hello all, I am looking to finally join the Bronco family and I have 2 local dealerships I could buy my first Bronco from.

Firstly, my offer of 49,500 would be accepted for a 4 door big bend, with mid package, as pictured below. (Only upgrades it has are the mid package, modular bumper, tube step, and brush guard)

Secondly, my other offer to another dealership was on a 2 door black diamond for 51,000, as pictured below as well. The black diamond would have storage bags upgraded as well as, mid package, floor liners, and cargo area protector.

Both are automatics. The big bend has been on the lot, while the black diamond will be delivered on the 17th.

I feel like it would be a no brainer to get the black diamond just for the larger axle, aux switches, bash plates, and rear lockers. (I live in Florida and would like to take it off roading every once in a while if this plays a factor in which I should choose)

I am just 18 so I don’t necessarily have a family that I need to be carrying around in a four door.

Which should I go with?

Don't limit yourself. Keep looking for exactly what you want, not what's left. At your age, you will grow out of a 2 door and into a 4 door. You have friends, maybe a dog or 2 and may want to start ovelanding. I have a '24 Badlands 4 door and most of the time the back seats are folded flat for store runs.

Lots of talk from guys who struggle to drive say that the 2 door is more maneuverable, as a new driver it's something to consider. Coming from a truck the 4-door feels pretty nimble.

Was thinking the same thing! Love how nimble my 4 door is, but to the question…BD due to washout floors and bash plates. I also agree with searching the used market. Sticker on my OBX SAS was $63k. Bought it 6 months later with 4400 miles for $49k

Should really get a manual, kids won't be able to steal it

If you want a manual and any options (besides Sasquatch) you have to go up to the BL or find a HE!

It’s only money - and that doesn’t do you any good unless you do stuff with it.

Have fun with the BD!

That makes total sense... After you can afford to write a check for whatever house, vehicle, vacation or plane you desire.

Ladies love the two door. Might not be single if you kept the two door.

Reminds me of the saying, "Clothes make the man - but only if there is not much of a man there to begin with."

I had a 2 Door. And I'm single. Even then, I occasionally needed more cargo space. The 2 door is really limited, even with the seats down.. So keep that in mind. It's not just for a family

LOL, limited cargo space?

What are you talking about?

I bought a used low mileage BB with manual, 4.46, 2.3, wash out floors and so far all is well. Except for the dang soft top being a pain in the ass but other than that I'm happy. Sometimes their better broken in....

Exactly! If it doesn't fit then you probably don't need it anyways!!!

Which was what I did. In hindsight though, mid wasn't worth it, but it is what it is. Oh well, love my girl regardless

True story. After my high school graduation, we all walked out of the gymnasium, and there on the street was a brand new car with huge bow on top. And a student was jumping up and down shouting "thank you daddy". Yeah, that family had to do it right there in front of everyone.

I got a camera for graduation, and a lesson about income disparities, lol.

I bet that car was not as well taken care of as the used one that someone paid for with their own money that was earned.

When I was 18 I had an Army paycheck of around $650/month, so hell yeah I was all in on a new vehicle. Go for it!
Kinda sad though just a few years ago I was out the door on a 2dr BD at $38K.

It killed me watching the price go up each year

And to those concerned about my financial life let’s just say my prowess in highschool gave me 4 years worth of college money for a car

It makes me feel better to know the Jeep fans have to pay their competitive price for it though, so maybe that’s the only plus I’ll give ford on bringing that price up

This BD is gonna be my life though lol. I’m super excited for it, fun part is the dealership it’s at is a decent drive away so ill get to take it right of the lot and get a real feel for it.

I’ll be sure to post pics when I get it!

After reading your post, and everyone’s thread input, it is clear you should buy an Everglades.

As a Floridian I wish. I’ll still let the BD roam around the Everglades of course. The Everglades is literally down the road from my house and the park ranger lets bikers and off roaders on the gravel utility trial that is right next to the glades.
