What made you choose a Bronco?

I’ve never been a “car person.” To me, most vehicles are just variations of the same thing — nothing that ever sparked real interest. But the Bronco was different. It was the first vehicle I’d ever looked at and thought, "That. I want that." I’d never felt that before.

Welcome to the beginning of being a "car person"!

The story behind our Bronco selection. I was on the Jeep build and price site, working out the details of what was to be our new Rubicon. I paused and browsed a bit and found an add for the release of the new Bronco. Well, it was love at first sight, and when I leaned over and showed my wife, she said, "that one, I want that instead of a Jeep". I proceeded to build and price and submit my $100 reservation fee (yep, back in early 2021, heck it may have been 2020, who can remember that far back?). After hours of building and pricing, we landed on the Wildtrak in Hot Pepper Red. 367 days later, I may have been counting, we picked up our Bronco.

Sometimes, you just make a connection and it sticks, and there is no logical explanation. Without a doubt, our Bronco purchase was 100% emotional. 😀

Dang pretty similar story here. I found a 2020 sarge green Willis with a few options and was just about to take the two hour trek to purchase it then I thought man $55k for a Willis is a bit pricey. Then I remembered the Bronco was supposed to be coming out. I had given up hope on Bronco after the 2004 teaser that never happened. And I was still skeptical about Farley’s announcement that they were bringing back Bronco. So I looked and that was 1 month before the reveal. After the reveal I could not decide what I wanted to reserve, for 2 weeks I changed my mind when my wife said just order the damn thing. So I jumped in line right after 190k others. Placed my order on day 2 and waited, changed my order a few times chasing an earlier delivery date, then settled on the special Everglades thinking they would want to get it out to the public. And the special MY22 color Desert Sand, thinking I had to get it in 2022 we picked up Darryl on my Wife’s 50th birthday 11/03/22. And has been an amazing 4 years. Oh and I paid MSRP of $55k but this is for a Sasquatch Bronco with winch, snorkel, flat fenders, hard top, 12” screen, roof rack, and special wheels.
BN 1100, Desert Sand Everglades. Reservation 7/30/20. ordered 1/22/21, reordered 10/15/21 dropped tow and hard top, reordered 3/9/22 changed to Everglades. production date 9/7/22 rescheduled 9/14/22 completed 9/26/22, shipped 10/7/22, arrived 10/31/22, delivered 11/03/22

I was prepared to get a Rubicon when they were first being introduced. I just needed them to be better. I wanted a better/newer/more reliable engine, rack-and-pinion steering, and hopefully, an independent front suspension. When they came out, it had none of those things. I waited for improvements to be made, but they never came. Eventually I gave up on the idea. Fast-forward to when I heard about the upcoming Bronco reveal. I watched it that night, showed my wife, we both loved it and put down a deposit right then. I ended up choosing the Badlands, 2-door, V6, Lux. I hope it lasts a long, long time, because I can't buy a new Bronco configured like it.

At time I was driving a mini cooper sport 2 door for 16 years and still driving it, I knew I was going to have to look for its replacement soon with 148,000 miles on it. When I heard the Bronco was coming back to life, there was no other vehicle option I would consider. I went through the motions of build and price and submitted my $100 reservation fee for a 2021 Bronco 2dr Sasquatch and began the journey with the dealership. Had to wait and wait and wait like a lot of us and finally got the build date. She was finally born in April 2023. No regrets what so ever. Here she is, BRONCO WITH NO NAME 3 1/2 years later.

I originally owned a Toyota Camry and my wife drives a Toyota Corolla. My wife works as a nurse and has to make it to work no matter the weather conditions. When it snows I always worried about her driving off to work and getting stuck or worse, in an accident. I decided I needed something that was capable and can handle the weather. Something I would not have an issue to take her to work if need be. I also wanted something fun to drive and have always loved the idea of off-roading/camping. At the time I was shopping around between a 4Runner, Jeep, and Bronco. I took a day off work and went to "test drive" a Bronco at the local ford dealer with the promise of not buying anything, man that was a lie. Within an hour or so of Driving I call my wife and let her know that I was going to purchase it. little did I know it would soon become a passion/hobby (my wife calls it a cult lol).
