    I am so glad you guys are doing this series. The information you're providing on the day to day livability of the Bronco and the capability of the Bronco on long trips are two of the things that are most important in making a long-term purchase. Also give ME that other Bronco lol.

    The soft top noise doesn’t bother me, and if I lived in Alabama or in the Southern United States, I’d be more inclined to try it, and I may opt for a full soft top during the summer. That aside, the factory soft top has a dimple in the side windows, most likely from how it operates, and I’m not a fan of that and I’m happy with my choice going OEM hard top, and having the option to use an available soft top later. ✌🏼

    Jorge Lopez and TFL were able to get better than 19 mpg on their Sasquatch Broncos with 2.7L V6s. Jorge drove from Houston down the gulf coast in his Wildtrak and got 18.something in that direction but got over 19 mpg on the return trip. TFL drove their First Edition Bronco on a road-trip across a long stretch through Colorado and they got about 19.3 mpg. I think Jordan from Bronco Nation said they got something like 21 mpg in their 2.3L Badlands with 33" tires on their trip from Florida to the T&C facility in Alabama.

    I purchased a Big Bronco and prior to this I was driving a mid size SUV. I have noticed it becomes difficult to control Bronco once it crosses 80mph especially if there are curves on the road. It can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle as it has happened with me. People in NJ highways drive in the 90 to 100 mph in the left most lane on the highway and one just can't keep it in that lane. Do pick up drivers also face similar thing? I don't think so because I have seen them driving 90 to 100mph in the same lane and at the same time maintaining good control, even if the highway has curved roads.

    I've done many 1200+ mile cross country drives in my two-door '17 Wrangler. The seats are very comfortable, but the solid-axle makes the Jeep have really bad road skitter over rough pavement. The handling is only so-so, and it's not a pleasure to drive at high speeds for long distances. The soft top is loud and leaks a lot of air, so you have to get the heat adjusted just right. The road skitter is, by far, the worst part of every trip.
