ā¦and traded my 23 Badlands for a 23 VW GTI 40th Anniversary edition that was sitting on their used lot, showing a bit under 7,000 miles.
No complaints at all with the Bronco or Ford! Iām just a fickle bugger who craves variety.
Very happy with the trade allowance - my 23 Badlands non Squatch...
If your concern is how long you can get by without a mid four figure repair bill, Iād worry more about the longevity of the automatic transmission, if you have one.
