I've been set on the New Bronco for some time now (hence my Overland Bound name), but made the tough choice to go another direction today. Bronco Reservation Canceled.
From the onset I was excited about the New Bronco and upon the reveal date couldn't be more happier. An American Made Off-Road Vehicle with Heritage and a Coolness factor off the charts, who wouldn't be excited. However, since July my enthusiasm has been gradually eroded and my eyes opened to what else was out there. Without going into too much detail, Ford has been disorganized with the information they provide, dishonest in the pricing and have raised it again, unable to deliver the product on-time (likely a 2022 delivery for most models) and a lack of interest in helping me from my local dealer.
The frustration I had led me to looking other directions and options for my next vehicle. I have a family of 4 and need my vehicle to be a daily driver, excellent in the snow (Live in Wisconsin) and a great Overland Vehicle. Off Road Capability is also required, but the more I thought about it the more I realized I don't need a Rock Crawler, I need a capable vehicle with comfort, storage etc. so that my family will keep coming with me.
Today I put in my order for a 2021 RAM Rebel 1500. This truck really ticked all the boxes I needed it to, plus an amazing amount of room in the cab, flexibility with the bed and oh the comfort in the cab....The wait is 10 weeks, but I'm excited for our new Vehicle and with Everyone's help and guidance here Build it into our Dream Overland Capable Vehicle.
No Pics to share yet, but I'll get them posted in a few months when we take deliver....Here's to a fantastic 2021 and Hope everyone is staying Positive and Testing Negative.
Thanks.
