Default Ford Bronco

Well, Ford has upped their game with a full-sized, true body-on-frame SUV with Dana diffs in 2 and 4 door models. I'm glad to see that they have done this.

They also have a Bronco Sport. This is apparently is placed to be CUV but one with a lot more off-road capability than the RAV-4 for CRVs. The Sport model seems more akin to our S10 Blazers but without the body-on-frame ours have.

I think I'd rather have a body-on-frame SUV no matter the size but boy, the new new full-size Broncos look fun.

I hate to admit it, but I find them rather impressive. Still not buying one, but wouldn't turn down a ride 😁.

I'd buy one in a minute if I could afford it. My son is talking about buying one, so I can live vicariously through him if he does.

It's beginning to look like GM is turning into an 'also ran' in the truck game.

Either in the videos or from an article I read I learned that other engine options are likely on the way, but the V6 has like 300 hp so not horrible.

I very much appreciate that they have brought back a proper body-on-frame full-sized SUV. I hope the towing weight limit is at least 7500 lbs.

As nice as they are I'm not sure I'd ever buy any new vehicle if I can avoid it. We'll have to see what I need/want in 10 years. For now my 21 y.o. mid-sized Blazer is fitting the bill.

I've never been a huge Bronco fanboy, but I do find them cool looking in a way.

If I were in the market, I buy one before I bought a new Blazer...

GM needs to step up now, throw away that joke they called the new Blazer and make a full body on frame full size K5 throw back. THAT would be worthy of the Blazer name.

Yeah, that new "Poser" Blazer is a glorified Subaru Forester! LOL

I think I've seen maybe three of those new "Blazers" on the road since they've been released. I can't imagine they've been selling well.
