Hello everyone, I am currently in the market for a new vehicle. For the first time I am buying an off road capable vehicle with on road handling. I’ve rented a few Jeep Wranglers and it was an easy no. The Bronco Sport seems to check a lot of boxes and in researching came across this forum. Our main family car will continue to be a VW Golf Sportwagen with cargo top. AWD but low clearance
I live in Phoenix, so there’s plenty of dirt roads that I would like to travel in National Forests and county parks. I do photography as a side hustle and there’s lots of places I’d love to go but need some off roading chops.
Types of roads: typically hard clay with good size rocks, washes that can be sandy, if it’s rained they get pretty muddy. If it’s exposed to run off there will be trenches cutting through road, and sometimes deep ruts from bad drivers.
considerations: pricing, need to fit two convertible seats in back occasionally, no plans for towing, will need either cargo box or hitch rack for extra storage. Apple car play, heated seats, blind spot help and rear view camera.
Looking at heritage, OBX, BL and BL limited.
Would love some advice and hellos!
