Love the look, but it's a Ford, so no.

Concur, really 250k if a Toyota (before the redesign).

With the off-road tires on it was one of the worst rides on the road I've ever been in.


I disagree. I have a ‘24 Bronco Everglades with the 35” tires and have logged 23,000 miles in 5 months - mostly interstate/highway miles. I was surprised at how good the ride was with those tires.



Love my Bronco. I’ll probably never need the snorkel or winch, but I couldn’t pass up the Everglades edition since I spend a lot of time in the Everglades chasing snakes.

Brother they ain't made a Ford Bronco since 1996. Whatever they are trotting out today might be a decent SUV, but please don't soil the sacred name.

I've always heard that Ford trucks have a poor reputation for quality?

I'm Toyota snob, so I don't have much first hand knowledge of Ford or Chevy's, but everything i read and hear is poor quality. My 2012 Tundra has 230+k on it and never an issue. I wouldn't buy one of the redesigned Tundras though.
Wonderful contribution to a Bronco specific thread.

The takeaway is that the OP needs to get a 2012 Tundra with 230+k miles on it.

Thanks

I love mine. no regrets


Same. I have a Galdiator also. It’s got a little more zoom due to the turbo v6 vs the standard v6 in the Gladiator. The marine grade vinyl seats are also nice, I have to get seat covers for Gladiator.

There are deals out there on these if you are willing to travel. I flew to Chicago to get mine paid 41k for a brand new Big Bend.

Get the V6.

My daughter has the Badlands edition. It rides better than I expected with the larger tires, 4 door model. The seats are not real comfortable on long rides but for a couple hours they aren't bad. She loves it so that's all that matters.

Think the Bronco performed terrible in a crash test.

Get a 4Runner.

I have a 2024 Wildtrack with the Sasquatch package and I agree completely. Surprisingly nice ride. Very easy to drive. I haven’t had it very long, but so far 10/10 would recommend

All new cars Ford, Chevy, dodge, are all junk. Toyota is even starting to have problems. Stepdad has bought and traded in 3 trucks. 2 HD Chevy 1 Dodge dulley diesel in the last 5 to 6 years bc of so many problems. Almost 100k for this shite and nothing but problems for him. I will keep my older 4 runner and be happy

Going by my limited experience with Ford... The drive train will probably be dependable.

The main issues will likely be annoying electrical things. For some reason Ford seems to always have gremlins in the electrical components. A/C may just stop working. Same with windows or door chimes.

That said, when it comes to Ford, I give the same advice regarding VWs or Audis. It'll be a great vehicle for the first 4-5 years. Then, get rid of it.

OP never mentioned off roading so it appears that this’d be a daily driver

I think it looks fine

I think they look like a plastic knock off of the old ones.
