Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Cool car


I have not owned a Ford for a decade, but I once had a Bronco just like OJ's. A guy I know has one of their new ones.


Looks like competition to Range Rover, which is much more expensive.

More like competition for the Jeep Wrangler family of vehicles, and to a much lesser extent Toyota 4-Runner. Bronco has numerous quality problems as documented in online enthusiast forums, so in that respect it is also competing with Range Rover, ha ha.

Agreed. Nice car otherwise, though.

I can tell stories about Range Rovers.

If you want to go out bush you take a Land Rover.

If you want to come back you take a Land Cruiser.

Maybe in a year or two Toyota will pull their head out and re-introduce a real "overland" Land Cruiser again.

When I got behind one the other day, I was surprised at how small it is. I'd rather have a flat-fender CJ3.

It's trying to be something but ugliest Bronco ever imo. Kinda like the new Mustang. I've seen a few on the road and the top - above the fenders - looks like they crimped the entire thing for no reason. Hard to see from the angle of the picture above. Would have been nice to have those extra few cubic inches of space inside. For my money, I'll pay up for 92-96 version.

I'd much rather have a 1980 Bronco.

I drove a used '83 Bronco for 10 years. It was everything I needed and it never let me down. Today I saw one of the new Broncos and I have to say---it was disappointing. Ford should have named it The Gelding. It's going to be the truck of choice for teenage girls with rich parents.

I rented one. Slow, rides like a railroad car, cheap materials. Other than that, great.
