Old and new Bronco

[Fawnbuster]

I'm at Skillman Ford in Greenwood getting an oil change and the tranny TSB and they have an original style Bronco sitting next to a new Bronco (sold and locked up)
Both in bright red.

Old one hands down. Out in the boonies you can fix it with minimal tools. The new one, well we know that ain’t happening ?

My local dealer had a mint '66 Bronco on display right before the off road show in early December. I'm glad they kept the new full size Bronco looking close to these. Just to clarify for others that's the Bronco Sport in your pic. The full size Bronco won't be out until early summer.

Don’t forget speaker wire and a pocketknife.

Mine is in the stable for the winter.....but I can attest to duct tape, pliers, speaker wire and a pocketknife as the required toolkit!

Man I love that Bronco and always wanted one like that. You could never find them in good condition back east and if by chance you did they were expensive! I'll settle for the next best thing with my new one in '22.

Yes, not an accurate comparison between old and new. The new Bronco dwarfs the original. The new one sits as high as the old full-size ones.

You would be correct sir. It's the only one they have in stock and it does say Bronco on it, just the sport model,. Maybe my wife could be convinced to trade her Fusion for the one coming out later ?

Awesome, but your garage makes my organization fetish cringe. "honey, have you seen the clothes basket"...."yeah, it's under the Bronco, sitting next to the toolbox".

The new ones are pretty spiffy but I love my original. Considered a new one but they can only tow 3500. The main reason for buying my Ranger was the tow capacity....and the good looks!

The EX wife might have said that but.....

Lucky you. I would love to have a new 2dr Bronco. Sadly Ford has a miserable tow rating (even on the 4dr) so I'm out of luck.

Exactly my reason for the Ranger. Interesting enough, it sits as high as my old Bronco...and I understand the new one is based on the ranger so it’s a win win!
