So, after driving almost 4 hours to the OKC auto show today, I finally got to see a Bronco in real life.
The pros? The Bronco is definitely bigger than the Wrangler. I’ve had a bunch of Wranglers and Jeep had a 392 there I could compare with my eyes. The Bronco isn’t much bigger, but it looks to be bigger.
The only cons I have is Ford wouldn’t let us close. They had both Broncos roped off so I couldn’t sit in one to actually feel the size difference.
The one thing that I seen that might change my mind is the Area 51 color.
Area 51 is so much nicer in person! It’s not as blue as the pics show. I might be changing my FE to A51 after seeing it actually.

I saw the same two Broncos in Tenn last year and did get close enough to stick my head in and touch a few things . It is what sold me on the MGV interior . The not allowing you to sit inside is more of a pre-production issue as the fit/finish of a few things is not up to Fords standards . Can you imagine all the negative post from some people that just have no clue or that just want to complain ? That's one reason I spend my time here now , not as many naysayers for a vehicle that's not even in production yet . I saw enough to know I definitely wanted to keep my res and actually place an order for a higher trim after seeing these two builds .

We were down there for my son's basketball games and took a few minutes to go look. The 76' was my favorite one lol.

I saw the Broncos at OKC Show yesterday as well and thought that both looked really good! The 35" tires on the 4-Door Badlands made me feel good about going Sasquatch as well.

Good to know. I’m not completely sold on the MGV with this Texas heat, though leather isn’t much better.
