We reserved our badlands the first day we were able to. We, then, changed our reservation to an order the first day as well. Despite our efforts to get an early Bronco, the global market on parts as well as manufacturing difficulties, we won’t see our Bronco until sometime mid-2022. We recently had an opportunity to purchase an unwanted Bronco from a local dealer and gladly adopted the Bronco and plan on giving it a good home. While we knew we would love the 2021 Ford Bronco, there are some things that we loved more than we expected.
Being that it is a 7-speed manual, most people did not want this vehicle. I personally love manuals and have missed having one since I sold my race car when I lived in Germany. While I have always wanted to get another, the opportunity never really came up or I was looking for a race car replacement and daily drivers are easier and automatic.
The modularity of the Bronco is by far an absolute fascinating thing for true customization. I personally think all true off-roading vehicles should have the ability to remove ALL panels for the ease of repair. Damage it on Saturday, replace it on Sunday, and drive it on Monday is the wave of the future.
People always want to video the trails and adventures but usually have to take less than secure mounts to hold their cameras. The built-in mount gives the capability of a secure mounting point that is center mounted on the dash to capture the memories to enjoy over and over.
While the Apple Carplay might not be a new thing for some. Both my vehicles are over 7 years old, and they don’t have it. I am surprised just how useful it is with allowing you to access the items you need on your phone without taking your attention off the road for longer than necessary.
The convertible aspect of the vehicle is another item I really love about the Bronco. While I love the Jeep, the bar over the driver’s compartment made it difficult to convince myself to purchase it. The way I sit due to a partially fused back puts me in the position where it is uncomfortably close to the top of my head. The Bronco’s design gives me the opportunity to enjoy myself without obstacles or obstructions.
