Good To Know, But I'm Keeping My Bronco!

Me too. No rush to sell and I don't see that need in the near future, but good to know that the Bronco is at the top of the resale value list for 2024.

Our Ford Broncos Retain Their Value

Yep best in class smiles per dollar and smiles per gallon!

The only place my Bronco isn’t going, is up for sale!

I know I come off as a curmudgeon when it comes to Ford, but holy hell do I love my Bronco. It is the most fun vehicle I’ve ever owned. I can’t wait to see where I can take it next. No sale.

If any of you know anything about me, you'd know I go through cars like, well, cars. LOL I'm VERY fickle, but the Bronco has changed all that for me.

I don't know if it was my 14-month wait to take possession or just the sheer joy I get driving it that seals the deal for me. I don't need too much encouragement to get behind the wheel. I make excuses to drive anywhere for any reason. This may be the first vehicle I actually pay off and NOT sell beforehand.

Well that sucks!
My plan is to keep it for 10 years or more. I guess I'll just have to miss out on having a #4 resale vehicle.

I could have posted this myself. I don’t hold on to vehicles very long. Even my second favorite vehicle (Jeep Wrangler JLU) I only owned for two years. I want to keep the Bronco for 10. I’m already making plans into 2025 and beyond as far as upgrades go.

2025 - New front bumper and Procal tune
2026 - New steering rack and suspension
2027 - Pay off crippling credit card debt. (J/K)

Bought the Bronco with every intention on keeping it for life. I still have an 04 F250 and my daily is an 08 Cobalt and we just replaced our 09 Suburban last year. Not like my Brother who has had 4 cars in the last 3 years one was a Basesquatch 4-door.

I'm the same exact way. Working at a dealer is fun and expensive because you always swap your cars lol. The Bronco is the first one ive kept for longer than a year and a half. I have a 2021 Badlands with 53k miles so far.

It helps that I work remotely so I keep my miles way down. 17,000 miles after 22 months. And that’s after to taking it to Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri a bunch of times. It should be easy to get to 10 years at my rate.

This is good news that while we're having great fun driving our Broncos - Confirms we made a good choice too!

Same here, she's a keeper! Sassy to be my last ride into the sunset. Mr. Cooper (2006 Mini Sport w/143,000) is still road worthy and part of the family until he gives out. Not one for car swapping.

As my wife says "It's not a car, it's a lifestyle and a hobby". I couldn't agree more, so no, I plan to keep mine for a LONG time.

I had no intention of parting with my Badlands but when my wife got her eyes on the Heritage, it was game over for me.

The big question is - are they keeping their value due to scarcity or their true resale value.

The only time I think about selling our trading is when I see a new raptor and think...hmmm....
But after 23 months I only have 18k miles in it.
But in a month I'll drive from StL to Rochester, MN and the next week to Super Cel. I've circumnavigated Lake Michigan and driven all the way to Maine. I guess I love it.

Raptor was my Kryptonite as well! And, you need to do it because it’s totally different and so amazing!

I didn’t plan on getting rid of my Bronco until I brought my wife with me to pick up my Raptor and she fell in love with the dealer’s HEL so I traded in my Badlands and bought both. HWHL

She gets it.

Was never one to keep swapping cars and wouln’t have ended up with the Bronco if my 12 y.o. Acadia didn’t conk out. Glad to know that it’ll keep it’s value, though. And yep, I wish I could drive it more.

I've always kept my vehicles for a long time (average 15 years). Plan is the Red Warthog is my last new vehicle purchase. Unless an awesome deal for a Braptor comes along....😁
