As far as I’m concerned Ford hit a home run. Say what you want to about communicating or commodity issues or whatever, the Bronco is the real deal. I’ll admit up front, I am a Ford guy. I will always be a Ford guy, BUT, trust me when I say this thing is amazing.

1. The ride was impressive on and off-road. I honestly can’t believe how smooth it felt.
2. The seats were super comfortable. I felt like I had plenty of leg room and shoulder room. Also, my wife and I both felt that the back seat of the 2 door was comfortable and wasn’t that difficult at all to get in and out of. I know that’s been a topic of discussion, but I didn’t have a problem (6’2”, 250). I wanted a 2 door from the start, wife wanted a 4 door. Today settled that dispute. #Team2door
3. The 2.7 is a rocket ship. Mr. Curt Leduc (look him up) gave us a little taste of the EcoBoost when he pulled out into traffic. In 4L, it felt like we could climb a tree. Super impressed with the power.🚀
4. The technology is not smoke and mirrors. The trail turn and one pedal are things you can and will use. The GOAT modes are well thought out and the programming is meant to assist drivers of all skill levels. Mr. Leduc, a professional driver, said he thought the GOAT modes were set to a “sweet spot”, and that Ford spent a lot of time tuning them and making sure they were right.
5. The top off experience blows Jeep away. Not even close.
6. Mr. Leduc said he would drive this thing 12 hours to wherever he was off-roading, and get up the next day and spend it off-roading. “You want to take a Jeep off-roading, or an old Bronco off-roading, you need a trailer to pull it there. Not this thing.” As he’s pointing at a Jeep and an EB on a trailer beside the road. Ford has spent a lot of time and effort to get it right. He assured me that no matter what other issues Ford may be having, the vehicle itself won’t be one of them.

The Bronco is what Ford told us it was going to be. I will happily wait for my build date and VIN #.

I also rode with Mr Leduc today. It is indeed a rocket ship! Not disappointed in anyway, on or off road.

Thanks for the great writeup. I like your #6. I will be driving some distance to get to some destinations. Good to know that the Bronco handles the ride to the destination as well as the destination itself.

Those things are missing a couple doors but I guess I'd take one. LOL I want a 2 door too but had to order the four door for my grand kids and our hobbies. Thanks for the pics and write up.

I’m almost at the end of my parent journey. One off to Wake Forest next fall, two other kids that are old enough to drive. If they were younger or I had grandkids it would be #Team4Door all the way.

Glad to see the two door - nice writeup. (Although the thing about needing to trailer a Jeep. No.)

I was there today and managed to get waitlisted for a ride on Saturday. Super excited. I was impressed with the interior room of the four door. The most surprising thing was how good I thought Cactus Gray looked in person. Much better than it looked in photos. It was my wife's favorite color.

My wife liked A51 so that’s what we got. But after riding around in that CG 2 door my mind started playing games with me. They are both good looking colors. As is the Race Red and the VB. We had a great time today with an excellent guide in Mr. Leduc. Top notch driving skills and very knowledgeable about the vehicle he drove and also had a hand in making it into what we rode around in today. He was awesome and was a perfect guide into the world of the 6th generation Ford Bronco. The poet Ice Cube said it best “Today was a good day!”

I agree with everything the OP said. Still can’t believe how smooth the ride was on the trail and on the highway. Felt like I was in a nice BMW not a off road SUV sitting on 35’s.
