I'm sure there are some F150 drivers that have switched...what are your thoughts about your decision? Is the ride and ride height comparable? Is ride quality better/worse? How roomy does the cabin feel? I'm not going to ask about cabin noise--the F150 is by far the quietest vehicle out there. Just looking for thoughts--both positive and negative while I wait for mine to be built.

Kind of a weird question what years? My 05 f150 (new engine as of two years ago) is still in fine shape. Have 20s on it and have replaced everything to do with suspension ball joints ect. It rides smooth as butter. Won't be getting rid of it due to having a boat I need to pull and ive owned it for so long/paid for. Will be switching back and forth between bronco and my pickup to daily drive. If fuel costs become and issue I'll go spend 3k on a little junker and drive the shit out of it while my two babies sit in garage.

not really a weird question in my opinion...just wanting to know if anyone is regretting switching...as shown in my signature, i currently drive a 2019 F150 SCrew if you need a reference.

I just came from a 250 Tremor. My 2 dr badlands 33 is awesome. Softer and better handling. I loved my Tremor.

I have a 2019 F-150 Super Cab XLT sport/FX4 302A with the 5.0. I put 2" leveling struts with 34" tires right after I bought it. I was able to drive a 4 door BB with sasquatch for a few days after I placed my order. Didn't notice much difference in the ride, but my F-150 definitely sits a little higher. I plan on keeping the F-150 as my daily driver.

We have both, 2021 Platinum F150, and 2021 FE, the F150 is a smoother, quieter ride, but I like driving the Bronco, ride heigh is good, seats are comfortable and it’s easier to park. Unless we are taking a long (500mi) road trip we take the Bronco.

Bahahaha. I missed out on antimatter blue. My wife has a red car and my f150 is true blue. I went with cyber orange on my bronco to be a bit more spunky

We love the 2019 F-150 sport. We haven't modified it at all. It rides great, and is very comfortable on long trips. It has the 5.0, and we get between 20 and 22 on the highway. My BD rides great for a short wheelbase SUV, and we are planning on taking it down to southern Kansas in mid March. I guess we'll have a comparison to share after we get back.

I love my bronco.
But, I would not want it for a daily driver. I drive 90 miles a day round trip, and I just wouldnt want to pay the gas, pay the maintenance and pay the price on the potholes.

My daily driver is a 21 F150 Powerboost Platinum. The stock height FX4 next to the Sasquatch on 35".
I am spoiled...bluecruise, seat massagers and 30 mpg.

Mine is a long story of a few vehicles to get to my Bronco (2022 Wildtrak, Eruption Green, MIC, Tow, LUX, ordered 7/13/2020). traded a F250 for a 2018 F150 Lariat 2.7l, 2 wheel drive and traded it for a 2021 F150 Lariat 4x4 3.5l, traded it in for my Bronco last month. Made $10k on the 2018 and $3k on the 2021 trade. All my F150's drove like I was sitting on my couch, loved the ride and the bed. I miss having the BAKflip cover and the storage space more than anything. Bronco is the bomb, drove from Phx to SD and back this week for a sales meeting and had snow and ice in Gila Bend and sleet heading over the pass into SD. Bronco handled it all with power and grace, the ACC works perfect for me, you can keep the lane alert system. I do miss my F150 and will probably get another one at some point. So my Bronco is my daily driver now and my 2015 GT Mustang 50th Anniversary Wimbledon White #340/1964 is always my mistress I need to show more attention. At the hotel in SD the valet parked it right up front for my stay, he is a Ford guy too!
