New Ford Broncos---Yay or Nay?

[Multislacking]

I'm looking for a new daily driver. I'm not super jazzed about the new Bronco look, but it seems to have some good marks for reliability, etc. Thoughts?

Ha, I knew someone would have one! What do you think? Would you recommend it?

 

[Boykinben82]

I’m a Chevy guy and drive a 2500. But my wife drivers the Explorer ST and that thing is stupid fast. It will smoke a V8 mustang, Audi almost anything I’ve came across. I’m not a fan of look but cord makes a great turbo.

I looked at one when they first came out.. Not a fan.

100%.

 

[kilsong]

It's kinda needlessly elevated.
Like Ina weird kinda way.

That's why I have a hard time with Explorers....."my wife drives one". They are too close to a minivan for my tastes. I spent years driving one of those with all the kids....never again.

I'm a shallow bastard when it comes to vehicle looks.

I would go with a pick-up.

I like those better than the 2023....looks like they were trying to make a range rover or something. Needless curves.

😂😂😂 I feel ya there. I love my full size truck

 

[kilsong]

I can see where u say that.
I really went into the showroom with hopes.
I dunno.. Didn't feel right sitting in it.
So much so that I didn't even test drive it.

That's actually what I'll be trading in. I don't use it as much now and if I get rid of it, then I have the excuse not to haul everything under the sun any more.
Wife: "Oh let's get that."
Me: "No truck...won't fit."

 

[kilsong]

I really want this. But I already have a big dick.

Keep in mind for the price it still drives like a Ford.. if your looking for something smooth and nice driving then I wouldn’t recommend. What I mean is you’re paying luxury suv prices for something that doesn’t drive like a luxury suv. Personally I think there’s better options.

I drive a 2018 Chevy Tahoe LT. Chevy Guy!

😆 😆, I understand that. If I didn't absolutely need one I would probably go SUV too. I think the Bronco would be a solid choice.

I'm a big fan of the Lexus SUVs, the GX and LX lines. We've been extremely happy with my wife's GX 460.

Nice looking ride. I looked into the interior of one in a parking lot the other day. It seemed a little basic. I’ve been curious about the “tabs” or handle looking things on the front fenders.

I don't do a lot of test driving or anything, but my 2011 f150 rides and drives like a cadillac. Incredibly smooth, so much so that people comment on it when I give them a ride. The comment I hear most often is "you wouldn't know you were riding in a truck." We've even taken it on road trips cross country, because it is that smooth and comfortable.

But yeah, I anticipate the bronco will probably be closer to a jeep as far as ride goes.

yes, it's a truck and rides like one.

 

[Multislacking]

If it's like mine, then I'll be super happy. It's not like the trucks nowadays ride like grandpa's '49 ford.

You’re right about the ST being fast, I use one for work and it’s a lot of fun. It’s only the Ford Bronco Raptor that shear the same engine though and it’s way overpriced unfortunately.

Jeep Grand Cherrokee SRT. Its faster than the Explorer ST and it drives like a sedan.

Just sold my wife's explorer...she wanted a 150. The explorer was great and that turbo engine had the boogie to keep it fun for me. Road so smooth. Tried talking her into the bronco but she couldn't get past the look.

It’s a great and fun car but sadly I think it’s taken out of production… 😢

 

[Jaxz]

Idk lol I would have to put them on the line together lol. Especially in sport mode I beat a corvette the other day in the ST and not just barely

haha, it’s fast, especially for a SUV but it’s not that fast, 0-60 takes 5.2 seconds so the Corvette guy should return his car and apologize to all other Corvette owners for being such a failure of a driver. Jeep SRT is doing 0-60 in 4.5 with a top speed of 160 and the ST’s top speed is 143 so the Jeep is faster.
