Those fenders are hideous. Don't know why someone would buy this over the 392 Wrangler for $6k more which already includes a whole bunch of "options" (from lower trims) as standard. One also has a V8 and one does not. Gas mileage is a factor for some people I guess but I just can't see the value here.

Even the non-Raptor Bronco, and the Wrangler for that matter, I really don't understand. They are loud, ride rough, get shitty mpg, etc. The VAST majority of people never take them anywhere you'd need that kind of capability. Hell you can literally look up a video of a guy taking a Crown Vic on Hell's Revenge in Moab. So really these vehicles have become a "look at how much money I spent" |

About as likely as your average M4 owner to take his/her car to the track.

Wranglers also have amazing resale value, so I can probably drive it for a few years and sell it for close to what I paid, if not more. If they stop producing the 392 after this year, you can be sure that resale will remain high forever. They're never going to make a hemi Wrangler again after this. |

2022 model year orders being stopped on the 8th with 2023 orders to be taken later in the year. We just put our order in yesterday with an eta of year-year and a half. Which is when we were wanting to pick a new vehicle up any ways.
I will add to some comments about 1st year production runs. True lots of issues will come up with those first compared to as the model evolves but don’t forget inline changes as well. There are at times parts or systems being changed due to material availability that wasn’t tested as long as original oem and in consequence causes more issues as well or change from outsourcing vendors for what ever reason. Original e85 didn’t have same issue with the abs with the m54 that changed when the n52 came about on the facelift for example and there’s many many more such as that. So keep in mind you necessarily never know when a reliable part got changed due to supply or material change until it happens. No matter what make you’re talking about. |

My local Ford dealer wants only $94k for a 2-door Wildtrak. Who are the idiots paying anywhere near these prices? Probably financing for 84 months and then in 3 years when their Bronco is worth $30k and they owe $80k they will be wondering what happened. lol

Test drove wild track it’s nice but beyond my budget even on employee discount. Long family friends of the owners of the dealership way before they got into the business. Most new inventory on their lot are orders for pick up. Not sure if it’s everywhere but right now 0 down to order. Some of it I think dealers are using that to build inventory on anything backed out on. |

My wife just got her bronco
She really loves it We will have to take it on some mountain “off” roads around here. As far as mark up, here in Mexico they have everything included like tax and fees and no mark up per say. Everyone pays the same and no negotiations. Which may sound counter to the way mexico is perceived as a bargaining capital of the world. |

After seeing a few on the road I have to say I still like the design of the Wrangler better. Ford kinda dropped the ball with the Raptor version, they could've done so much better but the 392 Wrangler is just better in every way for my purposes (except gas mileage).

Also the bronco in back is super more roomy for me than the ‘17 unlimited. The kiddo likes sharing Reese’s cup blizzards so I get stuck in the back on ice cream runs lol. A reason we take the jeep more than the e82 when getting ice cream but that even still is better than when I had to cram in the back of the ‘15 mustang we leased. For us there’s no rush in the delivery aspect, no current leases to turn in I typically wait till the new contracts are signed before committing to a car purchase so that’s why I don’t mind at all waiting it puts it smack dab at the time we’d want to take delivery. |
