The Bronco Sport (BS? should I start that trend?) has been catching my eye more than the bigger brother. The Bronco is sweet, don’t get me wrong. But my take is similar to the Bronco’s competitor Wrangler: I would love to rent or borrow someone’s for a weekend or vacation, but I don’t want to own one.
I’ve been a sucker for smaller off-road capable vehicles. The manual Renegade I owned for a minute was tons of fun on and off the road. This BS (still trying to get it to stick) seems to compete more with the Cherokee in size I think. If so, this may blow the Cherokee out of the water. Now, if I can get one with the steelies and the upper trim 2.0 ecoboost, you may have a buyer next year.

Going to seriously look at one for my wife next fall when her VW lease is up.

The Bronco Sport would more match the capabilities of my 2020 Outback, it seems, than the Bronco. I didn’t shop a Wrangler because I wasn’t planning to rock-crawl, so I don’t need the Bronco.
However, looking at the Bronco Sport it appears a bit smaller than I might like. It will be interesting to investigate it in a couple of years when my wandering eye starts up again.

Yeah, the Bronco’s capabilities are way beyond my standard of fun. Something to rip around some sand or small trails is more than good enough for me. They seem to have that built well for the modest off roader. Myself and the missus and maybe the dog are the only passengers, throw some gear up top, and this can be an awesome weekend vehicle that doubles as a good daily on the road.

I thought this review provided some insight into their thinking behind the bronco. It doesn’t have much BS.

You seem to be the same use case as I am. My only wrinkle is wanting to have a vehicle long enough to sleep in the back of it when need arises (roadside campsites getting occupied before I arrive and maybe not having a place to tent).

I’ve slept in the back of my Renegade a few nights. It was short, but we made it work. The BS seems longer than the Renegade, albeit by only a few inches, but I can sleep on the concrete ground if I have to.
