Very excited to share that my Bronco came on Monday. Just happened to also be my 40th Birthday. I feel so grateful that I didn’t have a long wait, 6 months from the time I ordered. I live in WI though so don’t know if that factored in with MI being our neighbor.
I’ve never purchased a brand new vehicle before, never spent more than $10k on a vehicle so this was a big deal for me. I also said I’d never waste money on a brand new vehicle. This however, has been more than worth it.
My initial observations after just a few days are:
- definitely going to need a second job to cover gas costs. I kid, I kid.
- the doors when opening/closing don’t necessarily inspire confidence. They feel far too lightweight and almost wobbly. I’m nervous about breaking the glass and would have preferred it to feel a little more solid.
- as others have already mentioned and I obviously knew when I purchased, the interior feels a little cheap for a nearly $60k vehicle. I was use to a Volkswagen though, so it’s almost not a fair comparison.
- it’s a lot of vehicle for me. I still love it, but it’s going to take some getting use to. I’m 5’7” and I definitely need to pull myself into the truck. I’ll be adding some hoop steps soon. Heads up on that though, my dealer has informed me they are difficult to get.
- I love the way this thing sounds. It is bad ass x 10.
- I get a ton of looks. I’ve never driven a vehicle that attracts so much attention. I love the cactus gray but I’m having a smidge of buyers remorse in not getting the green.
- leather seats are already breaking in after 1 week!
- road noise is definitely there but not at all what I was expecting. It’s not even a big deal to me.
- I can easily remove the hard top myself, love that! But the doors are a whole other story.
- I love how much space the back has, and I put a 6 foot tall person in the back right away and they had plenty of room. Again, others complain about this but I think it’s reasonable.
- the back seats fold down beautifully and I feel they were very smartly designed. I can definitely bring some stuff home after antiquing in this thing.
- the back up camera is ultra responsive. All the electronic details are more than satisfactory.
overall, I’m in love with this beauty. Still trying to decide on a name for her. Someone suggested Dominatrix because she’s so sexy.
