Would love one or a new Jeep but $85,000 for these things? No thanks. I’m not sure how the common people are buying these things. They must be taking out 10 year loans or something at a minimum.

Who is thinking about the new Bronco?

Yeah but just think how badass you'll be pulling into the Huntington Beach Mall. It's like totally worth it.
When I see these absolutely ludicrous prices for vehicles today I just shake my head in bewilderment. And to think their are idiots paying $80K+ for a mass produced vehicle that should cost less than half that. When I paid $35K for my Jeep Wrangler a few years ago I remember thinking this thing is about $10K overpriced. Now, essentially the same fucking thing is 2X to 3X as much. These are the same financial geniuses that will be repoed when they can't pay their $2,000/mo for 84 months car note on a Ford or Jeep.
At a local stealership! I mean I’m all for making money but this shit has got to stop. There is a difference in making money and robbing people. Personally, I think even $48k for one of these is insanity. I remember when I was like 16, $17,000 would get you a nice vehicle and that was considered towards the high end. And this wasn’t really that long ago. Ok, maybe a couple decades lol. But you get what I mean. I’m sorry but wages have nowhere near kept up with this nonsense. And the thing is, it won’t stop until people quit buying. Frankly, I don’t know how people are paying for these things cause I see a lot of them on the roads. Must literally be taking out 10 year loans. Heck even that’s still got to be fairly expensive.
I forgot to add that this was a 2021 model. Fixing to be 2 years old!

I bought six of them last year, all under 45k incl 2 two dr Rubicon's. The rest were 80th anniv 4drs. There was a shortage then just gotta look more. No need to pay over 50.
Never a good sign for a brand new design that had a massive demand, showing up on used car lots by the dozen…. My wife, who has ZERO situational awareness, pointed at the local Honda dealer lot as we drove by yesterday and said “Look, they have a bunch of the new Broncos!”
I think I’ll stick with my ‘71 for a while longer
To better the odds of getting one Jeep that runs reliably?
I jest. My Wrangler Rubicon has been surprisingly reliable.
get a Jeep willys with the recon package, or a high tide if you can find one.
I've never seen a wrangler for that price. if you are in the market, a good friend of mine is a GSM at a CDJR store. He has gotten me my last 2.
I might be. Trying to decide if I want to keep mine or sale it after the accident. Super worried about me getting it back with all my parts, if you follow me.
Kids had older iks. Decided to refresh fleet. The jk's we're reliable. I do the minor maintenance and it's easier to have the same vehicles. Trade value on jk's we're high.
My dad took my early reservation, decided i needed to keep my truck bed. Got his in 4 months after order under msrp.4 door Obx high package. He loves it. Gotta admit. One of the few things I’ve anticipated that was better than my expectations.
Has he had any of the engine issues? Explosions are meant to be contained within the engine, but I'm hearing they like to take the explosions outside of the cylinder walls.
My wife's is awesome. She paid no markups. It's hard to impress me but this thing is legit. We had it out wheelin last weekend.
Made it all the way to the 2nd floor of the mall parking garage? j/k
Screw Jeep and Ford...I'm a Toyota guy!
I'm teasing. I won't get into a "better" argument, get what you like, mod it, and run it hard. "run what ya brung baby!" I am a Toyota guy and do prefer IFS so I have to admit the new Bronco does appeal to me better than a Jeep. But "better"? Nah, that's personal preference. If you wheel then you don't keep any of these stock so the argument is silly and most of the time people brand bashing don't even wheel.
I also have to add that the modular engineering design in the Bronco is seriously impressive. It's kind of like the SigP320 of rigs. I think they have set the bar on that. Oh and the offroad electronics like trail turn assist is
3rd floor and speed bumps! Nah, it's legit. But the sad thing is, most owners will never wheel them...just like Jeeps.
Yeah, one of my tenants went out and bought a new 2015 4 door Jeeps in 2015. I asked her why. She said she liked it and always wanted one.
I don't know the reason, but she kept it for a few months and next thing she's driving a mom's type car. Never went further into it. But living in the metro Baltimore area, does not give you much of a chance to use them for what they were intended for.
I’m a yota guy as well to be honest. Likely made a mistake going with Jeep this last time. Had nothing but Yotas since I was 18. In fact just sold my Celica not long ago. I wasn’t lying when I said I’ve had many a Yota that ran well over 400k easy, with very minor maintenance.. only reason I didn’t get a Yota this last time is because they were too damn expensive and I liked the interior of the Jeep better. Like I said, likely a mistake but it is what it is.Screw Jeep and Ford...I'm a Toyota guy!
