Trading pickup for Bronco

[JRMFFL531]

A Bronco is no substitute for a truck.
A Bronco's interior room is nothing like the seating of a full size truck.
Pulling a trailer around a city for a day sucks, if you live in a city and only use it for brief runs, no problem.

Yeah I don’t do anything like that. Just running around town. Some light household stuff. I live in Texas so if I want to get anywhere I have to drive a couple hours. So the comfort is what I’m really worried about.

My road racing days came to an end, so after I sold the trailer, I didn’t need the F350 dually. Absolutely love the Bronco and have zero regrets about losing the big bed and giant towing ability.

What about the comfort of the seats? I’m 6’2 250 with a bad back. So I worry about the comfort of the seats on longer trips.

Howdy,

I'm considering trading my Ram 1500 for a Bronco Wildtrax soft top. Has anyone went from pickup to bronco? Any regrets?

I went from a Ram 1500 to a 4 door Bronco. I never used the truck as a truck so I'm not missing anything but only you can make that call for yourself. As far as comfort I think it's a more comfortable seat but I miss the adjustability of the electric seat of the Ram. I don't know if the Wildtracks are available with electric seats but if they are get those.

 

[JRMFFL531]

It doesn’t have an electric seats. That was a concern for me as well. Yeah I don’t use the truck as a truck. I just used it for comfort. Reviews say the Broncos are comfortable. I drove an outer banks. I have to drive 2 hours to pick up this Wildtrak and test drive before I sign

One piece of advice I can give about the seats is a good set of breathable seat covers! The vinyl seats are great for spills and dirt but my god the swamp ass they create is unreal.
I'm considering spending $3.5K on custom seats just to be able to have ventilated seats.

 

[JRMFFL531]

Hell yeah. Down here in Texas that could be brutal. I had Katzkin in my old truck. Amazing product. They offer ventilated seats. Might be a little cheaper.

As far as seat comfort, that's completely up to the individual. There are lots of seat threads around here, and it's clear that some folks think it's the most comfortable thing ever invented, and other people think it's a torture rack. And everything in between. All I can say is try and get an extended test drive to figure it out or your own.

My personal point of view is that I find the driver's seat just tolerable enough using all the adjustments, including the lumbar. The passenger seat - with no lumber adjustment -just kills me.

YMMV, greatly...

 

[JRMFFL531]

Welp, now I am concerned. Can’t drive around with back and ass cheek on fire bc the seats don’t have support. lol.

 

[Msell71]

I’ve had two trips since I bought it in May totaling a little over 5k miles. For me, the seats (cloth) are quite comfortable.

 

[JRMFFL531]

You have the windshield time to give good feedback for sure. Thank you very much for responding
