We picked up a new 2025 Big Bend Bronco Sport today. It's actually for my son who will be going off to college soon. He was driving a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with 73k miles and some big repair bills where on the horizon, so we moved on (Seems the only constant with a jeep product is you will have repair bills). Love the little bronco so far - lots of pep for a small engine. Aesthetically, it reminds me of a lot of the new Toyota Landcruiser - lot of the same body lines.
This one has the diamond package with bull bar, skid plates, and AT tires. We ordered some husky floor liners and seat covers today from Amazon. Other than those items, the only other thing I may want to do to it is a 1.5-2" level, but that would be down the road.
He does like to hunt and fish, so the off road options and the ability to have a dependable AWD type vehicle that can occasionally go off road is nice. Also appreciate the good gas mileage. I am really going to appreciate the peace of mind that he has a hopefully worry-free vehicle. I did purchase an extended 7year 100k Ford Warranty thru the dealer, so even after the loan is paid off in 5 years, he will still have some warranty coverage.
One question, for those that have the Diamond Package that comes with the Continental AT tires - what are your thoughts? good or bad? Never drove Continental Tires and was set on immediately swapping them out for a different tire - but I looked them up online and they are a pretty expensive tire with decent reviews...thoughts? If I do change, it will be up to a 245/75/17 - probably a Yokohama geolander at4 as that tire is nice and aggressive with 14/32" tread but only around 32 pounds.
