Why are you both on this site, go a
Huh ?
You are correct, you are unfounded
They’re not nice. They have all kinds of problems, they are loud, the entertainment part of the car lacks everything, and it feels dated.
a lot of consumers buy cars to have comfort features and cool factor. The Bronco is behind on a lot of features, loud as heck at higher speeds, isn’t super comfortable in any seat, and feels cheap. Top that off with it going from rare to seeing them all the time and the exclusivity is gone.
I’m already over mine. It was fun but the problems are mounting. I’m waiting for my new car to be ordered and delivered and the bronco will be gone.
Fun while it lasted but from the window issues, slow and unresponsive infotainment system, no ac or heat in the back seat due to crappy, almost non-existent vents and a cheap feeling interior that scratches if you look at it wrong and I’m all done. I could see many others in the same boat. Sell it while it’s high resale and get something you’ll enjoy rather than tough out a dud.

Another Base owner, sell your Bronco and go away. Why do you follow this site and complain about your Bronco.
Somebody’s being naughty and needs a time out.
sorry, you're probably right.
No worries

Nice, I’d also throw the sound of my 2017 GT350 (5.2L Voodoo V8) in with the awesome sounding V8’s, when nearing the 8K+ redline and “snicking through the 6sp manual trans…what an absolute magical experience. Loved that you could only get the 6-sp manual trans
My apologies OP, waaay off track with this…

I'm 66 and certainly remember the oil embargo and everything that went with it. Of course fuel economy has an impact but anyone buying a Bronco can't have that very high on their list. I mean does someone buy a Bronco and a month later they go oh my god, I'm only getting 18 MPG, gee I didn't think it would get that bad of MPG. I've had a Bronco now for 3 years, I bought it because of where it can take me and I can pop the top. Sure it gets bad MPG, I knew that going in, that's the price of admission. I guess my point is you can't single out a single model of the Bronco and say it's the MPG, the base gets just as lousy of MPG.

No one must buy the OBX in Orange County. So the two highest trim levels (not counting the Raptor) have the most for sale. Actually I'm not sure what to make out that. It probably varies regionally as someone pointed out. I could honestly see though that people buying the higher trim levels have more money, either buy the latest fad and or are disappointed that the BL or WT isn't more like a Range Rover or Grand Wagoneer.
Know your meme suggested entry: WSMUW is an acronym for "why so many used Wildtraks," a type of social anxiety in which a person feels as if they are compelled to discover the reason behind an inexplicable market demand, or perceived lack of, and somehow missing an important experience or opportunity. See FOMO.

Two reasons at opposite ends of spectrum:
- People that shouldn’t be spending $60k+ on a vehicle that just gotta be seen in the top trim realize they should prob get out from under it after the excitement wears off.
- People who legit have money to buy a $60k+ vehicle just get tired of it and want a diff $60k+ vehicle.

Agree. There are a LOT of people that spend in the 55-60k range that make poorly researched and spontaneous choices to buy a vehicle and the Bronco absolutely needs to be researched because while it is very good at what it does, it is a different animal of vehicle that the vast majority of people have no experience.
The exclusivity of the Bronco will diminish because it was meant to be a mass produced vehicle. The upside is that the aftermarket support and overall Bronco community will continue to grow.
