The other day, one of my friends shared a picture of our Broncos side by side at a past event.

I'll be honest, I couldn't find my Bronco in the picture --- because I forgot I'm on my second Bronco. Both my Broncos have been 2021 2-door Badlands, this current one just Sasquatch, so pretty much the same, but it got me wondering: How many have you gone through? Especially 6th gen, but let's hear of/see all the years.

Were they big changes or did you stay in the same trim too and refresh the year? Anyone get one as fully the same as you could get?

I changed mainly for the fact that I bought a retired Off-Roadeo unit and everything was kind of flattened underneath (yes, I paid MSRP and yes, it was still worth it), and secondarily for the color. Couldn't be happier!

What about you?

I'm one and done. My 2022 Black Diamond is and will be my only Bronco until a decision outside of my control takes it from me. At the reveal, reviewing the various trims and packages, when I saw the Black Diamond, manual transmission, and advanced transfercase configuration @ $38,340 I was hooked.

I've read the recent reports that Ford is resurrecting the Bronco pickup truck by MY 2030. I'd buy one of those if it was identical to my Black Diamond, except for the bed. But too late for Ford, I have a Slate pickup on order. Ford should have issued the Bronco pickup version in 2021. IMO, Ford missed out on a lot of Bronco sales. If Ford does issue a Bronco pickup I'm sure it will be 4-doors, with a short bed, and no manual transmission option. Boring...

Yeah, looking back, that was a steal. Black Diamond had great features.
There's a Slate truck in my neighborhood with the polka dot wrap, and I like when I see it around.

I think you're right about the 4-doors; our team here has a penchant for less common little single cabs (my comanche, Evan's kei truck), and while we love them, they aren't practical for most buyers -- or sleeping in, I found out on my road trip home with mine. There's nowhere to recline 😅

Currently on number 2, with plans today to put money down on a Filson.

1. 1970 Bronco in mustard yellow
2. 2023 Outer Banks, OB-1
3)? 2027 Filson

Sonya saw pictures of the Filson and suggested we needed his and hers (I think she might have already claimed the Filson)

I think she's right.
I'm excited to see those on the road, and I hope one of my friends picks one up so I can experience the quieter cabin, ventilated seats, and that version of the 3.0's hp!

2nd one for us. The first was a 89 Bronco II with the 2.9L that kept cracking heads. Current one is a 2024 Outerbanks that we have modified to make it more offroad capable and we love it. Number 3 might be a Filson as we like how it is shaping up.

Still on #1. Current is '23 2 door Black Diamond with Sas and 2.7L. Depending on pricing, I am thinking about moving to the RTR trim for 2027.

That would be a nice swap. I like that interior. They had one at Woodward, right? What did you think in person (if so)? Do you think you would go Sasquatch for the FOX shocks?

Do you have an exterior color in mind for Filson?

Yeah, I saw the one at Woodward. I didn't open the door though to check out the interior and wish I had done that, but I like all the hyper lime accents. And I would go sasquatch to get the Fox shocks and 4.7 gearing. Also thinking about going with the electronic soft top by Bestop.

3rd. I had a 21 Big Bend while waiting for my 22 WIldtrak. It got crashed into 3 weeks after waiting 19 months for delivery. So I traded in on a 23 Wildtrak.



I am not the leader. I just like to go first.

My 1st Bronco & my 1st 4WD. Took time to decide what I wanted from the vehicle. It was to be my retirement toy, showing me how to drive off-road & rock-crawl. Placed an order for a Badlands w/Sasquatch in August 2021, built the last week of 2022's, & picked up just before Christmas.

It has done everything asked of it & taught me a great deal. Retirement has been & will be much more fun with my Bronco. I will keep it as long as I can drive it. Then it will be passed down to the kids. Unless they already have their own.....

LOL - Don't recall ever seeing a Bronco I didn't like! Our 1st luv was '78 red/white:
Bronco 2nd Gen 1978 Model at Cottonwood Pass 1.jpeg
Our 6G experience began with a blue '22 Badlands we ordered, tracked through scheduling, assembly & awaiting shipment .. that months later never shipped##!!..

Our dealer finally called with a white '23 WildTrak their original buyer had declined and we couldn't be happier. Wifey loved WT's lux interior tricks and its 3.0 HOSS suspension seemed great fit for our high mtn Colorado trails. Sure, we added lots of bumper, winch, lights, skids & slider protections along with tons of other accessories to make this Bronco completely ours. Now, can't even imagine trading our Bronco on another..

The Filson is a beauty! Which color calls to you?

#1...

The 1st Gen Broncos were what got me interested in this style of vehicle and in 4 wheeling. By the time I was old enough to purchase a vehicle in the early 80's they were discontinued and used ones were out of my budget.

I never really like the following generation Bronocs so I became a Jeep guy for the next 30+ years. When the 6th gen was announced, I knew I had to have one.

I have zero plans to trade this or to get anything different. I will drive it until it falls apart or I croak, whichever comes 1st..

I like that within the three weeks you had it, you got offroad and momentumly challenged, if that strap was to get you out and not another
