25 miles isn’t much at all, then your MPG suffers from the added battery weight. I don’t think it’s worth the additional cost. Initially, I was excited by it but like everything, there’s multiple sides to consider.

Ehhh. THAT guy on the meme does look pretty badass…I really don't understand someone joining up on a Bronco site on this very day and the first conversation is I think I would be better off with a Jeep! Am I missing something here or am I imaging shit again?
Simply because Jeep is foreign owned crap. Might as well just go buy Chinese. And don't dare put an American flag anywhere on it, like all the other ignorant people who think their Jeeps are merican...

My JK hinges were bubbling pretty bad.

It’s not an option after 20 ish miles your on gas. And that’s cruising mpg not going up hills.

Has the OP considered price protection in his cost analysis? If he's been waiting 2 years and depending on trim/options, you're looking at around $2k or more of a rebate. I'm assuming the dealer can actually find the private offer on the system, which seems to be an issue for some, lately

Alright chill out, we don't want this to turn into a shit show.
I've mentioned this a few times.
Before the bronco was revealed I was looking into a jeep since I live in Colorado and it seems like the perfect vehicle for my needs; until I drove a rubicon. The steering was a HUGE factor in me waiting on what ford was gonna do, It just wandered all over the street. That coupled with the smaller feeling interior was a no go for me. I'm sure I can install a whole list of aftermarket steering upgrades, but for me that along with the subpar tech, again was a no go. My bronco will be a daily driver that'll do some trails and overlanding, but I'm not planning on doing the rubicon in it, not as a daily driver anyway. I did however spec out a rubicon with the XR package and it was 62k +/- ; I'm getting mine for 53k. To each their own, but I know if I don't get mine I'll regret buying the bronco, worse case I'm sure I can sell a fully loaded badlands for atleast that; if not more.

Here's my problem with Jeep. To get a locking rear dif you're already looking at the high end Rubicon model. And to get the 35s (recon package) you're already well over $70k. Bronco Base gives you sasquatch for tens of thousands of dollars cheaper. Not to mention ride quality. I've driven Jeep wrangler JLs and the Bronco is better in EVERY way. (my opinion of course, which is the right one).

You cant go wrong either way. They are both great vehicles and each have their plusses and minuses.

If they made that battery available as a powerpack for using while camping; e.g , jackery battery, I'd be interested.
I listen to alot of music when I'm camping and being able to power all my stuff using the 4xe battery would be awesome, I've seen 1 guy trying to utilize that but I'm unsure of it's success. I think that's a big miss on jeeps part, imagine being able to bring a TV, sat dish and watching a game/ movie or something like that in the middle of nowhere. I know that's not for everybody but it'd be cool.
I've seen this sentiment from a few different places and just want to point out that every bronco sold to a reservation holder or order holder is going to a customer.
The reality is that Ford needs to fix their production problems. The jeep wrangler has been in production for years, and Jeep has it pinned down. They don't have any level of supply chain issues that Ford does for something that has only been in production for a few years.
Jeep Wrangler for Q3 of 2022 sold 47,659 units.
Ford Bronco for the same period sold 31,545 units and that was nearly every unit they could build. They need to be able to build another 10k+ units to catch Wrangler.
