Getting rid of my 14 FJ for the Bronco. (My 3rd one, I've had an FJ since they came out)
Do I think the Bronco will be better in terms of ride/handling/fun factor/updated tech? Absolutely.
Do I think it will be more reliable long term?
Not a chance. There's a reason people swear by Toyotas.
Theres a 400+ page loose steering thread on the JL forum that kept me out of a Wrangler. Supposedly, after 2 years, there's a TSB that finally fixes this. Well done FCA, keep up the amazing work.
My buddy reserved a Badlands soon after I did, but is quickly losing interest due to Ford's Trickling Information Strategy, and yesterday mentioned the G word. (Gladiator)
I'm trying to talk him out of that, but it's hard to argue with "But I can have one today, when will I even get my Bronco?"
I wonder if they truly thought they were offering something people really wanted with the gray top, or the plan all along was to screw everyone out of an additional $1900...
"I really wish my Jeep had a gray top". Said no one, ever.
4 door all the way. lol at the "only people with kids get a four door" drek. Its like being on the Jeep forums.
We can fit our bikes and camping gear/luggage in the FJ, should be easier in the Bronco. I like having my bikes locked up as opposed to hanging off the back on a rack.
As others have...
