    I've seen a few of the new Ford Bronco's on the road lately but only from the front. I'm thinking Range Rover look alike but kinda nice. Well, today I fell in behind one and thought "What a plain back end". Anyone thinking about one should certainly get the tailgate spare tire option.

    We were driving behind one the other day and I pointed it out to my wife said ‘there’s the new bronco sport they are making’ she says ‘why does it look like a fiat?’ Had to agree with her, kinda does

    The Broncos you see are the sport. Completely different than the Broncos that have yet to hit the roads. Or maybe now they are starting to trickle in

    Don't worry, recalls will be coming. Only 5 for the Sport so far.

    I was going to hold out and buy a bronco but in December I said heck with it I’m buying a Tacoma. I’m sure they will be a headache for the first few years anyway. Or maybe it’s just sour grapes for being impatient either way I am happy with my truck.

    I had the same thoughts on the new(ish) Ranger. My friend bought one and I saw it today for the first time and it was just meh. Didn’t do anything for me. I also think from the rear it looks like rental fleet material. I think Ford dropped the ball on the Ranger and Bronco so far. People will buy them in droves anyway, but I won’t be one of them.

    No one has seen an actual production unit of the big Bronco on the road. So weird seeing all these boomer takes saying the Bronco Sport is the Bronco... like I thought y'all had critical thinking skills

    Lol I know what you’re saying. I have friends who know I’m a car guy, saying to me man I saw a new bronco and I don’t think I like it. I asked where did they see it and they said on the road the other day and I said nope not a bronco. It’s like when the new vette was launched and people would say it doesn’t look much different from the old one….nope not the new one. Anyone who has seen either can see the difference.

    I can’t even with this level of self-induced ignorance… so easy to search and see that there’s two “Broncos” the sport and the regular Bronco. Also so easy to search and see that the big Bronco haven’t been delivered to customers yet. Sorry I can’t teach you critical thinking and gathering knowledge before making a stupid forum post.

    The amount of copium third gen owners are consuming over the new Bronco is hilarious

    Ford was thinking people would buy them, and they did. Dealerships can't keep the Bronco Sports instock.

    Nope I’m a fan of innovation and customer choice. I wanna see what Toyota does in response. I think the new Bronco is really cool and introduces a lot of things that new Tacoma buyers have been crying for and I look forward for the market response.

    So sorry you were offended my my comments. Maybe one day you'll look back and think about this day and think about why you acted like such an ass.

    why not go eat a ... with all that rudeness. Some critical thinking you are throwing around... btw knowing anything about a Ford or any vehicle is not critical thinking It’s just info. No brain needed to read info!!!
