Yeah, that was the Raptor, I think. Folks buying those at that price probably aren’t financing.

The first one is 120k and finance from $1790 a month! Thats a freaking house payment.
There's no production Bronco out there worth that! That's an insane payment and as soon they drive off that lot it'll depreciate 50%. :facepalm:

I think.... And I could be horrendously wrong. That Bronco people and Ranger People are two distinctly different crowds with different needs. Yes there is some common interests and overlap but still two separate groups.

Ranger drivers need that bed space. If I got a Bronco, I'd have to have a trailer and that trailer would have to go everywhere with me. It makes much more sense to get a truck and then drag a tear drop / square drop out into the woods for the occasional camping.

I think the thing that keeps Ranger Drivers salivating over the Bronco is the 18 inches of storage behind the rear seat. If the Ranger just had 6 to 10 inches (that's what she said - ba dum pah!) I think most Ranger Drivers would quit looking a the Bronco and trying to decide which is better.

The Ranger has next to NIL for internal storage - just look on here at the creative things people have done with a "Rear Seat Delete" to get stuff in their truck.

Its like a Jeep person, you either get it or you don't. The bronco is awesome but for the cost, i just don't get it. Been a truck guy my whole life too.

I don't think anyone can cross shop these two. You usually buy a truck because you need the bed space and even if I had more room behind the rear seat I'd still need a truck to carry things for work. A 2dr Bronco is useless for storage or going on anything longer than a weekend trip. Granted I love the look and that's what I ordered but after having my 2dr Jeep and taking the rear seat out there's really very little room back there. A 4dr is out of the question as I personalty don't like the looks of them. For me it's just a toy and more of a want than a need. But the 4dr sells better because families can utilize the rear seats with the kids and if you needed to haul something long on occasion you can just fold the rear seats down and have that extra room.

Definitely not moving to Gary hell no! Gary is cheaper than Illinois for sure, plus it is a constitutional carry state too. Worlds better than the communist state know as Illinois.

very true. two different crowds for sure. the only thing i want from the bronco is the sasq. package with the beefier axles front locker etc. the rest they can keep.

Just for Shiggles, I went to build one this AM and they don't list the Sasq -Pack anymore.

But wouldn't it be nice if the Bronco Packages mirrored the Ranger packages in similarity (not necessarily name). Not as many Ranger choices as Bronco choices for options. I think I could fill the utility and toy itch if they let us have some of those goodies.

Like factory installed off-road bumpers, not dealer installed accessories. Or a front locker. Little things like that would be cool.

This dealer near my cabin has maintained about 20 Broncos for the past few months. Still pricey….but seemly coming down some.

Not too smart right now to buy any Bronco (even Raptor) with any markup. You can find them on the lots around the Detroit area right now. Yes, even Raptors at sticker price, x-plan, a-plan, whatever you want. The dealers have all elected to take stock of those that have been in production that have been ordered and not claimed 14 days after receipt of the vehicle. And it sounds like there are MANY Broncos in this situation.

As for the comments about crossover customers, I am one of them. Got the Tremor when I could not get a Bronco back in 2020. The truck pulls the teardrop fine and the bed is wonderful, but I think with the truck the big decision is to put a cap on the back or not. With no internal storage, there is no secure place to put all of your stuff that you'd want with you (tools, etc) without a cap, hard cover or lockable storage add ons....this is the reason I am looking back at the Bronco. I dont tow a big trailer and if I want to haul plywood or something big, I can still hook up a trailer.
