Default Is it a crazy thought?

Been seeing a lot of Bronco's (full size, NOT A Bronco Sport.) around lately and have been thinking about trading in or selling my 2015 F150 for a Bronco. Haven't been able to find one close by to test drive or even look in. Did anyone consider one before getting their F150? If you did why did you you pick the F150? Any help or insight would be apprciated.

Sorry for the double post. Apparently some people are offended. LOL!

I wouldn’t. I’m not sure how it became that way, but the bronco seems to have become a woman’s car. I never see men driving them. Im not sexist in anyway, it’s just strange how some vehicles end up that way.

This is my Bronco coming off the assembly line


. I’m keeping the F150 too though. I’m hoping to take delivery by the end of the month. The Bronco is an off road beast! The Bronco Off Rodeo they sent us to was amazing. Had the Bronco on 3 wheels on more one occasion.

Had not considered keeping the F150. That could possibly work.

Basically a 'chick car', kind of like a Miata. The idea of going from a highly capable, multi-use manly truck to a...f'ing Bronco? Wow...no.

Don't confuse the Bronco with the Bronco Sport.
The Bronco is decently sized and pretty much the same width as an F-150 give or take a few inches depending on your tires.
Test drove one.. pretty nice, would have considered buying one if I didn't need a truck bed.

The Bronco Sport is a steaming pile of trash built on the Escape chassis.
It looks ok on the outside, but the interior is cheap and the engine is gutless. Only the Badlands edition as a proper 4 cylinder and even that is still on the weak side.
My wife and I both took one for a test drive... solid nope from both of us.

I love the new Broncos (full size) but I think after a week I’d want a truck again.

But I’d be cool with my wife getting one, assuming we don’t have more kids 😂

I don’t mind the Bronco Sport, I just get annoyed when it’s referred to as a Bronco. I’d drive one, if I needed something like that. None were in our area for sale when we got my wife’s Edge.

My sister has one, and it's pretty awesome- if you just daily your truck and don't use your bed- it's great- I'll probably get one in a year or so. They handle similar to a jeep but better imo- mileage with hers lifted on 35s is 19

Thanks everyone. Def considering a Full size, not the Sport.
