Way too much money for a Bronco, IMO. $40-$50k makes sense… above that not so much when you look at the quality of what you are buying. For $65-$70k I would buy a new Lexus GX all day over the Bronco.

Base grille is still the overall best look, IMO. Would prefer if it said “Ford” instead of “Bronco”, but with the same blacked-out letters, not red. Have been debating getting the OEM bronze letter overlays, but just not sure it will end up looking as good as the standard all black base option.

Why wouldn’t you just get Thule/Yakima t slot bars and Rapid Crossroad/Timberline foot packs to mount to side rails? Will look better and available for relatively cheap on FB marketplace.

I’d find a used Big Bend with like 20k miles or less and a rear locker for around $40k then buy Black Diamond/Badlands takeoff stuff for super cheap. If u r planning to go into debt with this purchase at 18 years old then I highly advise against this decision at all. Your future self will thank...

Non sas Badlands, is deff the “good for all situations” build. Manual trans ups the fun factor considerably too.

Had a top lift pro can’t imagine anything being easier/better than it. Still doesn’t help the fact u gotta screw/uncrew 10 bolts every time u wanna take back portion on/off. Ultimately got tired of messing with the whole setup and bought a Trektop after selling hardtop for $7k

I have the performance tune and am running 93 now but it honestly ain’t that different than 87 with standard tune. My .02 save your money and just buy 87. I might get 1 mpg better on 93 but that clearly is not worth it when premium is like $1 more per gallon vs 87. $60ish to fill tank on 87 in...

It’s about what I would expect… of course they r gonna do the cheapest/fastest paint job when it’s not their own vehicle. I don’t see much of a difference honestly…could be the lighting in pics. Probably as good as it’s gonna get honestly without you being involved in picking who does the paint job.

My .02 just get sas/Badlands takeoffs anyways regardless of whether they came off a 2 or 4 door, etc. the spring rates aren’t that different and u aren’t gonna get anything remotely as nice for takeoff prices. Should be paying in the $500-$700 range for all 4 with takeoffs. The look is perfect...

I’m assuming actual off-roading isn’t a concern since you are considering a 4xe so I guess what is the point of buying these overpriced trims? Why not a regular Colorado, Ranger, or Wrangler for like 20k less? What are you really getting out of those super expensive versions other than being...

If this at least had removable front ttops and the stick shift from the Taco that it shares basically everything else with, I would have been very interested.

true lol I just meant in general it’s one of the better engines offered by Ford in recent years. Proven, powerful, efficient

yeah, crazy a windshield crossbar option still does not exist on the market. I’ve just committed to using my trailer in the meantime which feels like overkill when I’m only hauling 1 or maybe 2 kayaks

2.3 is one of the best engines Ford has built in the past 20 years. Also, you can’t pair a manual trans with a 2.7 and THAT is the best feature of all to make sure your Bronco has. The manual is such a blast to drive and silky smooth (as long as you don’t get one that rattles when it’s cold)

Where exactly is this documentation and what is the source? I read through everything that ford provides for the tune and nowhere does it ever say you can use 87 octane with tune enabled. Everyone I see saying “it can be done” is either a random forum member or a reseller who obviously was not...

No it doesn’t lol just bc it was “discussed” doesn’t mean it’s correct. Y’all can do what u want with your trucks but plug the display in and watch the engine knock readout for yourselves. If u want/need to run 87 then take the 30 seconds needed to return the tune to stock.

Bronco is real fun when you are maximizing the experience - doors off, no top, hammering the stick shift. If u r one of the people that will buy an auto, won’t take doors or roof off, and don’t plan to off-road it then something else is prob a better choice. It is a comfy vehicle and handles...

This isn’t true. If you keep the tuner plugged in it will read engine knock on the display which clearly happens when octane is under 91. You won’t notice it just driving around but doesn’t mean it’s good for the engine. What you do is keep the tuner with u in glove box and revert the tune back...

If they offer the new 4Runner in a manual I’d be tempted but after seeing how they priced the new Tacoma I doubt I’ll have much interest either way. I thought they would make the 4Runner a true Bronco/Wrangler competitor this time around since they launched the mid sized Landcruiser. Seems like...

I had a 2017 Tacoma manual before the Bronco… the Tacoma shifted like a complete tractor compared to the Bronco’s transmission. Be warned though, one of the major known issues with the Bronco manual is excessive rattle noise when the weather falls below about 50 degrees. It is majorly annoying -...
