Here is the one year update my 2022 Bronco Badland, Sasquatch package, Lux package, leather, 2.7 tuner update, Hardtop, Icon tie rod update and Goat running board/sliders.
I waited for 18 months for the Bronco and was like a kid at Christmas when the dealer said it was delivered. No markups, just the price we agreed on with Metro Ford in Independence MO. In and out in 30 minutes.
I wasn’t planning on driving the Bronco as my daily driver, but it had ended up that way due to how much I like driving the Bronco. I come from F-150’s & Expeditions so their expectations were high and the Bronco fits right into those expectations. The Bronco is set up as a “Turnkey” off road machine and should be thought of as that, this is not a truck meant to run the family to Costco once a week. But I sure see a lot of them at Costco.
I bought my Bronco to run off road and that is what I have done with it over the last year. Here are the locations that I have ran with the Bronco.
Arizona- Box Canyon (Rock Crawling)
Utah Moab -Onion Creek, Shaffer trail, Fins & Things, Hells Revenge, Top of the World & Poison Spider. (Rock Crawling & Sand) Three-Trail of Honors completed.
Tennessee- Rocky Top National Forest (Mud-Rock)
Florida- Ocala Forest (Sand-mud)
My stock Badlands continues to amaze the Jeep guys with its ablity to run with them and the highway comfort verses their Jeep. They like riding in the Bronco when we go to dinner because of the smooth and comfortable ride.
I do have dings in the skid plates, scratches on the wheel rings and a couple of pinstripes from Tennessee, Florida and Arizona and have knocked off the back wheel flare off in Tennessee but that was to be expected with a true off-road vehicle. Sure, the Bronco is a little noisy and I have to jump in but I wanted a “Real” Crawler and willing to give up the comforts of the Expedition to get that and I did.
