Well gang, its been a nice ride but like all things in life it couldn't last forever.
Today my family & company were given an offer for our Bronco we couldn't refuse. Especially in todays deflating car market. So we sold our beloved 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands MT after 18 months of ownership. It was one of the first ones built and we hope the new owner appreciates the mint gem we sold to them...they do.
We went bronco crazy these last 18 months. Everything from bronco driving simulators at home (Forza Horizon 5), Traxxis Bronco RC car, Bronco pillows...the works! We hope we were good ambassadors of the brand.
Today was also an official goodbye to one of my brothers lost to covid 2 months prior to ownership. The area51 and orange trim reminded me of him bc he was a FL Gator alumni. Miss and love you brother.
Favorite things about bronco:
1. MGV Seats
2. 7MT
3. How it drove
4. Design
5. Good power in the I4. Great engine powertrain
6. Soft top was fun
7. Loved how simple the HVAC and other controls were in our mid package. Only what you needed and it all worked good
8. Front A/C is amazing. Maybe best ever
9. Grew to enjoy the quirky gauge cluster
10. Engaging clutch to shift without issue while cruise control activated very nice feature along with all other 7MT features like auto restart if stall, hillstart assist, start in gear feature etc.
11. It never left us stranded and no issues requiring dealer attention entire time we owned it.
Least Fav things about bronco:
1. No connected nav
2. Terrible Mpg on roadtrips
3. Android auto glitchy
4. Paint/fit/finish can be better
5. Backseat is terrible (not comfy, no AC, no armrest in ours)
6. Cargo area too fragile, should come with cargo mats and scratch resist sides
7. All the recalls.. (3 on ours, one major new front axle replacement)
8. Headlights either wouldn't turn off when engine off OR wouldn't illuminate when unlocked not controlled by nav screen.
9. It was super fun but also stuck out like a soar thumb. So you never felt at ease around town driving or leaving it parked unattended.
10. Swamp ass from MGV if hot outside wearing wrong material and AC vent not aimed at crotch
11. Indexing windows. No fun
12. Rear windows and doors too difficult to remove/install
13. Brakes too soft for that much weight, but even if stock vac breaks not good enough
14. Needs a NA V8 :)
We outfitted our bronco nicely with tons of classy mods and took it all over in the short 4K miles we owned it (Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, CA deserts, Joshua Tree, SoCal beaches and many father/son rides to school). Plus it helped grow our business, we helped new owners navigate their rig, and meet new friends. We had a good run.
Moving on we will still be a member of this great forum and continue to sell beneficial cool products for your bronco in the accessory section for less than anywhere else and exclusive products made just for your bronco as well.
Oh and for those of you wondering. We traded our bronco for a GMC Yukon with super comfy cloth seats. If leather we'd puke haha. Happy campers. We're ready to make new mems in it together.
Stay safe out there on your adventures bronco family. Please wheel one for me because after 40+ years of offroading every way imaginable in every kind of ORV...our 4x4 days are over. At least for now. Vya Con Dios "Broncowski"!!
Ps-we have a few spare parts left some might want like 1 badlands decal never used, 1 black horse OEM emblem never used, 1 gloss black bronco depot USA script emblem never used and more!! Will post a package listing soon in the buy/sell section. Stay tuned!
With much respect & admiration,
