Hah, I like how Dave posts the Bronco experience here. That's how we know he loves us more than the Bronco6g members.

I'm not know for my patience. lol I always knew mine would be a MY '22 but after getting to off road a little with one, now the wait is going to be torture. We were seriously considering a travel trailer and ditching the Bronco but as long as there's no more major delays I'm going forward with my order and maybe try to find a good used TT in the meantime. Ford did a really good job with these but they really need to get better with their launches.

Dave, after doing Schnebly Hill Rd. this weekend by Sedona, I would ditch the Bronco and go buy the travel trailer and a side-by-side. I took my Tacoma on the trail and my son brought his Ranger FX4. We did ok, buy we got our asses kicked by a guy in a Polaris RZR XP. That guy passed us like were standing still. I may be biased, since I used to own a Polaris RZR-S, but IMO, that is the way to go if you want to do trail riding.

Jim, we did Schnebly Hill Rd last year and I think one of my kidneys is still up there. lol I thought about getting a SxS but everyone I know who had them have now sold them. Those SxS's aren't cheap now and I could get a base Bronco with SAS for not much more money. Plus with the Bronco I at least have ac when it's hot here, which seems like all the time now.

I'm still looking at travel trailer and just missed out on a good used one yesterday. The way the Bronco has been going I've got plenty of time to look and probably change my mind 10 times over. ?

I drove a Bronco before buying a ranger. Loved it with the 2.7 TT. The ranger is better on road. It’s a better fit for me. I got one with the tremor package. If I end up spending a ton of time off road I may end up with a Bronco. The one I want comes in at 15k sticker price over the full sticker on my truck. Storage would also be an issue. We can add a forward facing camera to our sync systems for under 500. I’m driving now and not subject to stupid market adjustment pricing or waiting a year. That was my reason for picking up my 2021. If you want a daily the ranger is smart. If you are off-road all the time the Bronco would be king.

Now the ranger raptor? I’m likely to order one when they release enough info.

Man I’m jealous! Want one so bad, but it’ll probably be 6 years or so before I can get one.

LOL, yes there were certain parts of the trail that were really rough. I am not sure I will do that trail again with my truck. I do not want to risk a repair bill. If I still had my RZR-S, I would not hesitate to go back down that trail. I do see your point though that a top of the line RZR would be close in price to a base Bronco.

Hope it plays

What size wheels and tires are those ? I don't think they are factory ,LOL

 

[AzScorpion]

No idea

But these two at my local dealer are ugly as hell in the lower trims

*would not buy

Those are a Base and Black Diamond models, both come stock with steelies. Some like them for the "retro look" but I'm not a big fan of them myself. I also do not like the 4 dr or that soft top at all! I would cancel my order before getting one but I'm lucky as the 2 dr only comes with a hardtop for now.

A fitting video for this thread . A Ranger and Bronco go trail riding with Jay leno and Keven Bacon .

The Bronco looks pretty much like my build except mine is a Badlands.
