I am also shocked that this thread is not o fire. What gives??
The 2 door base model seems really affordable and the "badlands" trim seems perfect, but with the bigger engine and the "mid package" it can still get pricey - ...then there's the "never buy a 1st model year new car" thing.....
The bronco "sport" is based off the Escape platform - although it is more rugged than an Escape for sure, I am not particularly interested in it: BUT I think it's a winning formula - lots of ppl who would want something "in the middle"
I am also wondering what the SMALLEST tires would look like on the 17" wheels - i mean one does not always off road: will they look "normal" enough to be driven on street? I am not a big fan of gigantic mud tires being used for city driving....
Same. I am more of a LIGHT off-road/mild adventure kinda guy who wants to to GET to some hard trail heads to HIKE them but not to drive ON them, so the Sport makes more sense to me AND as I like the 2nd gen boxy Escapes, the Sport is like a beefed up modern but also more rugged version of what I already have, with some nice off road ready features and tech.
However, I will probably holding off until 2022 models are out due to the SLIM hope that they might add the 2.3L to the lineup. If you want a dedicated and very active forum specifically for the Bronco Sport, here it is. I already joined (username Washburn): https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/

From an old EB, owner, (owned my 76' with highly sought after power steering and disc brakes for over 20 years-then another 10 years the running gear became a swamp buggy)...
Time to watch the CheapJeep stock plumment bahaha!
Woohoo thank you ford for our stable's "staple" steed coming back into the mix. :yahoo:
