The Broncos are just too expensive, they have kept raising the prices at every possible opportunity and for any excuse, and when you add the dealer market adjustments, people are just fed up and moved on.

I want a bronco or a jeep. And I’m also looking for a family sized SUV. And I am not buying either one in this market. I’m not paying for a substandard warranty. I’m not paying this much money for unreliability. And I’m not paying $60-$70,000 for a bunch of plastic, fake cheap leather on a four-wheel-drive platform. They look absolutely beautiful, but I’m 52. I’ve already done the stupid stuff and learned my lesson. Nor will I accept $1000 car payment. Neither one of these brands are luxury brands and don’t think for second that people are stupid enough anymore to pay this kind of money for something that we know isn’t gonna last five or six years without some kind of investment. Sell your vehicles overseas. We don’t need you anymore.

Don't think for a moment that a Bronco can function as a family vehicle it's a lifestyle vehicle and An Inconvenient one at Best

Always interested BUT like most vehicles today .. they're TOO expensive and Ford has gotten a bad rep for quality and recalls

The issue started when ford dropped the base model. They pushed the higher trim levels by eliminating the most cost effective model. Lost me as a potential buyer. I’m also someone who has owned 5 early broncos so I’m truly a target audience for them.

Great points

I leased my 2022 Bronco 2 dr V6 Outer Banks and it's been amazing so far. 35,000km's on it and no issues except a whistle in cold weather. I have 2 more years on the lease and will see how it holds up, but I paid $10K less than what they're charging now. I imagine the prices will come down to the level that I paid here in Canada. I see them sitting on the lots now. It's a great vehicle but not for the prices they boosted them to. Toyota has done the same thing so it's not just Ford with over inflated prices.

All the points you make here are excellent. 0.99% financing now on the Bronco so yes prices have dropped to get the metal moving

There is a dealer out here in Southern California that has a hardtop v6 badlands lux package brand new, that’s been sitting on their lot for over 250 days. They still refuse to drop the price below msrp stating and I quote “we know what we have.” Hahah the funny things dealers say.

Huh? Inflation 100% is the cause. Companies raised prices due to material costs rising but also found it a good way to just raise prices and maximize profit. Now they have to do deal with falling sales, and the stock market isn’t going to like this. It’s cyclical, they can reset expectations for 2025 by taking the hit sooner

Ok, first off I like the bronco, but the Jeep’s 3.6L V6 is not boring. It’s a fun, off-road ready (can handle a vertical stall and restart), and reliable motor (I owned one in my 2012 JK). However, if it’s boring to you, Jeep has a 392. The 2024 Jeep is not a new model, it’s a refresh. Anyway, the bronco should be fine and I hope it succeeds. All these manufacturers need to focus on off-road capability, if I want luxury, I’d buy a G wagon.

Toyota 4Runner is old school that’s what’s so good about it. Yes the Toyota motor is not quick and it is thirsty because it has an old school 5 speed auto. Less moving parts. I don’t need an expensive 8 speed that won’t last give me the dependable 5 speed.

Perhaps people don't know about the price breaks and so they have not built as a result.

I wish Ford would bring the Everest here to the US. That would be the counterpoint to Toyota inundating the market with hard top SUV's (LC, 4R GX, Etc.). The Everest would be a better competitor and not everyone wants the compromise of a convertible and the Explorer just sucks. An Everest Raptor would be awesome.

Wow, that is a lot of money for a vehicle.

I agree solid content. Ford needs to greatly simplify their engine options as they have already mostly done with the 10 speed Transmission namely just go with the twin turbo v-6 as standard as is true of the Ranger Raptor I think. This is a valid offering posting up against Jeep in a premium space but the Ford product is simply not in the same league as Jeep as can be seen by how well Jeep sales have held up. The "regular Bronco" is an absolutely huge off roader which does have a place in this very select market but not much of an overlanding rig which the much lower priced Bronco Sport needs to emphasize again with a standardized engine and powertrain and specific emphasis on overlanding which is currently being led by Polaris at the moment actually and neither Ford nor Jeep.

If no one saw this coming then they are not paying attention to history. Why no solid axle? We have seen this sales slide in FJ cruisers and Hummer H2/H3s before. No one will compete with the 4runner for reliability and versatility. Bronco is compete close to the wrangler and the wrangler is just easier to modify/ lift and does better off roading for the cost. Yes people have proved it can do the trails but it is just less stable and a little bit of a fish out of water and easier to break. It is better at faster off roading but most that want to do that will be much better off in a side by side. I expect to see the same sales curve drop as the FJ cruiser. People will still want something different and it does fit what some are looking for. I am looking into one myself but if you looking for a buildable off road vehicle and Wrangler is just a better start. If Toyota had a manual trans I would not even look at the Bronco but my preference is a very small market.

Idk if they will come out with th color matched top on the bronco raptor initially. As the raptor is the most produced bronco model for some reason by the numbers. And it's #1 by a pretty large number. So they would have to either reduce the number of raptors produced or choose a different model trim
