This is a case where I think if you time it right, you may be better able to buy and afford it better than earlier model years. Mainly because rates are not looking to be nearly as bad come 2025. However, this will really only apply to people with good credit, who know how to save and budget with a reasonable down payment or trade in.
Although I love the Bronco, my economic status precludes them from my budget. ;-) I was able to afford a new Explorer Active 4wd though. I think Ford now has enough stuff stuck on their lots that they are willing to deal off of MSRP again. I spent 6 hours at the dealer and got my new Active for $7500 below MSRP. Got a really good price on my trade as well. Used cars were going for more than what I paid for the new Active. I think so much money was owed on them that they had to try to sell them for big bucks just to pay off the banks that owned them. Yeah, it's not as exciting as the Bronco. It's a sort of competent jack of all trades SUV that does everything pretty well. I've had it a couple months and 2k miles now. Very pleased with it. The 2.3 eco with the 10 speed really puts the torque to the ground well. Good balance between power and economy. I'm getting 24 mpg in mixed driving and over 28 hiway. As an old man, I drive conservatively. I prefer the right lane doing the speed limit. I'm fighting cancer again. So this'll be my last new car. First world problems, right? But it is what I need. My three camping trips a year would not have challenged a Bronco. 90% of my driving, I am doing old man stuff. I hope everyone who gets a Bronco can enjoy them. I was excited when they brought them back a few years back.
Makes anyone who got a 21-23 Bronco look like a financial wizard. These prices are stupid and the limitations on which models can have a 2.7 is even more ridiculous.
I was excited for the original release of the bronco. The excitement immediately left when the numbers revealed something like 15-17mpg i canceled my order instantly. In todays world that is unacceptable. My almost 30 year old isuzu trooper has the same look, better gas mileage. and often better features by being simple.

Was going to get a 2025 but saw my choices were very limited as I wanted a 2dr. Just picked up a 2024 Heritage 2dr fresh off the truck and below MSRP.
@@johnmick9457 congratulations 🎉, what color?
@@DrivenWildOutdoors Azure Gray goes really well with the blue interior.
@@johnmick9457 nice color
Looks like the bean counters at Ford were at work. Glad I got a two door race red Badlands with 2.7 engine in 2023. Good info.
@@gilbertferguson1685 thank you for watching 👍
Glad I got the Black Diamond I wanted in 2022.
Perfect timing. It is gone now
What happened to wild track ?
@@ericeli5145 the Everglades, Wildtrak, black diamond Ang heritage are no longer.
Ford forget about my money's going to the new Scout.
That Scout will wind up being a re-badged Rivian. LOL
No more Race Red or Iconic Silver
