Having an old bronco in the family as a kid I loved the idea of them.
retro look.
Old boss got job in Nashville order his bronco as soon as they made them available (if not before) at his ford dealer. He does not off-road, camp, wheel, ect. He got new job out of Carmel and while driving on the highway back to Carmel fr9m Nashville if just blew up with no warning.
it is still at a ford dealer in Kentucky. I think they put him in a ranger as a loaner. Was told bad steel on valve spring area.
second one lasted under 2k miles but that guy bought it to wheel and off road. On second trip to land between the lakes dead. I think his made it back to where they camped.
both were born on dates within a week of each other so maybe it is just a bad batch of parts. Second one I blamed on the guy cause I have never saw a guy abuse a wheeler like he does.
Ford did a good job with the aesthetics, IMO, a nice mix of retro and modern both inside and out.
Probably not the 2nd guy's fault either, it's just a bad batch of parts. Ford's actually detuned the 2.7 in the Bronco compared to the F150, and there's fairly aggressive torque management in the lowest gears (if it's "off road tuning" or "keep idiots from breaking stuff tuning" is debatable, but it blows off boost early in 1st and 2nd).
