Not the Sport.

I'm hearing there may be issues with the 2.7L.

I love the looks of the 2 door, but the 4 door is obviously more practical.

My only personal experience with them was being caught in a major traffic jam here in Nashville a couple days ago on a two lane highway.. took forever to start moving, and when i finally got up to where the delay was, it was a young woman in a brand new Bronco, broken down and blocking traffic.

Should test drive on the LA freeway with police tailing and see how it holds up.

A friend bought one. Big problems with the hard tops. The Bronco II that is.

Bronco is a fad

If you want the same experience get a wrangler which consistently holds value

Because you know you will sell it after a couple years

The best modern vehicle in the segment was the FJ Cruiser then it went OOP and now the ones with 100k miles are more than they were new.

I have the full size w/ the 2.7. Close to 4k miles so far and no problems. Runs good.

My son has a 2014 FJ and gets offers on it all the time. It's worth about 12k more than what he bought it for brand new.

Dismal fuel economy and low volume. Guessing they dumped it for Fed Govt CAFE reasons.

But yes, it is the #1 vehicle in retaining value. Going OOP didn't hurt.

Thanks, Obama.

Don't only women drive new Broncos or those JEEP truck things?

There was apparently a bad batch of parts from a supplier causing issues during a certain build period. By the time you’d get one there’s nothing to worry about. I’m approaching 3K miles on mine, no issues.

Wish they would of just remade the old Bronco. Maybe upgrade the suspension and a few things like that. They probably would sell alot more if they did that. And be in a better place without so many chips needed during a shortage. I would love to have a new old Bronco!

Mine just showed up at the dealership in LA this week. It'll be a couple of weeks at least before I can get it, but then I'll have 2400 mile review shortly there after, that is unless I get an offer I can't refuse on it.

I have the sport. Yeah yeah I know you don’t care. I think the sport is basically a Ford Escape with a new body. It gets me where I need to go and I haven’t had any issues so far. But I drive maybe 3000 miles a year
