[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Cool new Bronco I saw today

Posted: 5/6/2022 12:34:28 AM EDT

There are several that I see when we go to the city each week (central Missouri), but today at Walmart I saw the best one yet.

Viewed from inside my daughters SUV;

Then I got a few close-ups;

Another Ford that will never see dirt.

Dirt or not, I like the new full size Bronco soft tops. Probably more capable off road than the '82 302 Bronco I had in the 90s. But the price is crazy these days. Could probably buy a fully restored '82 for half the price of a new one.

Seriously thinking about getting one once the dealer prices normalize.

20's and no winch.

Has front recovery points though in case someone happens along to pull him out.

Same, the SO is due for a new ride. We're holding out until shizzle settles down. Bronco, 4runner, grand cherokee, and cherokee are all being eyeballed.

Wheels on that thing are gross. Why do people put big wheels on 4x4 trucks?

Nice. I need to buy stock in steering component manufacturers including the R&P for them.

[Hella weak steering system]

In that guys case, to chip his paint. Those fenders and tire combo are not going stop it from happening.

Real Bronco's don't have 4 doors. Same for jeeps.

There's a Jeep dealer across from our church, and today they had five or six Gladiators. One of them was a forest green four door, and I like it.

I just don't get all the hate. I reserved one for my wife. It's all jacked up and loaded out. It will be a pavement princess for her. She also hasn't had a new vehicle in almost 15 years. It's pathetic seeing some people saying if you don't use your vehicle in a certain way you shouldn't get one, yada, yada, yada,

I don't hate them, however, it's pretty obvious that the steering system isn't able to stand up to big tires.

This guy followed me up some pretty gnarly trails. At the end of the day I had broken an axle shaft and cracked the unibody and he had no damage

I'm impressed

This. I shake my head every time I see a vehicle like this and they put on big wheels with narrow sidewall AT or MT tires.

I dont know about the '82, but early '70s are insanely priced. You can get new ones for less.

I wouldn’t mind a base model one if you could actually get one and they were 35K plus whatever I add on.

Seems like people that order them might get them in about a year.

Those wheels (or rims as they're called in the ghetto) are gay.

They must be fairly easy to get around here, because I see one of them almost every time I go to the city. (Twice per week).

Base models or the higher models? I see a fair number of the higher models that ford dealers are selling for 60+

Base model with a bunch of options. $35k out the door, after waiting on it for nearly 1 1/2 years...

I very much dislike 99% of aftermarket “off-road” rims.

Pretty much what I wouldn’t mind having except I would want 4dr. Due to the long wait, I might have to go with a Wrangler
