Anyone see the Jeep commercial with the Bronco. Some folks are talking how Jeep did bronco dirty but I saw it as hey we inspired people to make a (possibly better) adventure vehicle. And Ford says they talked to Jeep folks to find out what was the best parts of Jeep and what they need to fix. Also Han Solo says pick the vehicle that makes you happy. And as I drive down the highway on a long road trip to a place to go wheeling I am happy with my Glades. Bronco is not for everyone but it is for anyone.

I found the ad too long and boring. It was pretty much a diss on Bronco from the trail pass and use of Harrison FORD.

The question is, what company buys Jeep (and RAM), when Stellantis has to sell off assets in the near future.

GM doesn't have an offroader.

They have the Colorado - the ZR-2 with Bison package is pretty sweet.

Nobody in their right mind would buy the Jeep brand.

Every prior company that owned it has gone under in some way.

Are you insinuating Jeep has a curse?

I’ve got a 21 4dr badlands, also an18 jku. I do prefer the jeep offroad. Here are my reasons The low point is the front diff. Everything else will clear. You can see over the front end. What I don’t like is the pentashit engine. Its normal operating temp is 227. And is a thirsty pig. The Jeep always requires attention.
The bronco is fantastic on road And is capable off. Low point is frame braces behind the transmission.And then the shock mounts. What I hate about the bronco is the frameless windows and the pos Windshields,but most of all lack of knowledge and support from ford.

I’ll be buying a Jeep if the next Bronco has frameless windows. Yes, I think they’re that bad. I miss the days where I could simply roll down my window 1” for some fresh air without the windows going BWAMMMMWMWMWM on turns.

And I have to relearn them once or twice a month.

I love everything else about my Bronco, and I plan to pour another $15k into it for a higher performance suspension and drive it another 50,000 miles. The 7th Gen Bronco will get my money… so long as the doors have frames.

Never say never but I don’t think Ford is going to add framed doors that is the compromise ford made to have removable stowaway doors. But I get it, maybe they can improve them though, there are other vehicles with frameless doors. I don’t have any problem with the windows but I do live in the part of the world if you roll your window down 1” you burst into flames so we either have them full up or full down.

there sure is a lot of Jeep talk on all the Bronco forums and social media lately. I'd say the ad was a success, lol.

Stow away doors are functionally worthless as far as I’m concerned. I have never seen anyone do that in the last three years I’ve owned my Bronco.

Making 100% of the owners suffer with crappy windows to accommodate 0.0001% of people is just plain stupid.

I get they tried to make a market differentiator with Jeep, but this one fell flat on it’s face.

Just to demonstrate how bad they are, they are the only reason my wife won’t let me get a Bronco Raptor TODAY. She loves the trails, wants me to invest in better capabilities, but refuses to spend new car money on these. So she bought herself a Jeep.

Ford won’t care! I’ve had my doors off ,maybe a dozen times. Once I stacked them in the back. What a waste of time and effort. Couldn’t put anything else I needed in back. Swing and a miss.

EDITH!

I do think Ford listens, or else I wouldn't waste the time to complain. I think the data will speak for itself with the amount of people taking Broncos back to the service center for windows that don't work. It was a nice idea, but the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Rather irrational, but hopefully you went with the extended warranty.

Jeeps are awesome (I've had like 7 of them) and Broncos are awesome.. I prefer my Bronco but no hate for Jeeps from me..

We actually almost bought a jeep in 2019, but ended up keeping our truck instead. Yeah, nothing bad to say about them, a vehicle is a vehicle to me.
