New ford bronco’s

[Westernduck]

Anybody have experience with the new Broncos? Good or bad. It would be a daily driver for the wife, and I would use it hunting on occasion when I don’t want to take the F350. I’ve specifically been eyeing the badlands model with Sasquatch package, 2.7l V6, and 10 speed auto.
Thanks in advance.

My coworker rented one on a business trip, said it felt cheap, he didn't dig it. Sample size of one. I haven't driven one. They look cool fixed up

I see ton of them here.

If you believe Scotty Kilmer on YT, the ones built in MX (Sport, I believe) are pure crap.

The ones built here are better but that ain't saying much. YMMV.

We had a ‘24 for about a year. Was my wife’s daily driver. It looked really cool, but for the money, the interior definitely felt cheap, even though we had the leather seats, etc. Lots of plastic inside. Road noise was annoying anytime we’d take it on the freeway. You’d hear the hard top shift with potholes or other bumps.

We took a Toyota Landcruiser for a spin and traded the Bronco on the spot. Don’t regret that decision one bit.

Don't know where you're at, but I had a conversation with the sales manager at the dealership where I get my trucks. They had a Bronco traded in with 3300 miles. He said the owner hated the 10 speed for driving in Colorado because it was always shifting due to the varied terrain.

They certainly looked pretty cool when I was checking them out at the dealership. I wouldn’t hesitate on trying one if I were in the market. If the auto tranny is an issue, the 7sp manual they offer might be a solution.

I also noticed that Ford makes an Explorer Tremor edition. That might be worth looking at. My wife has a ‘20 xlt that after 70k miles has been pretty good for a Ford.
