I keep eyeing the blue one with the 5.0. I have enough for a good down payment. I would mainly preserve it and keep it a pavement princess haha. I'm fixing up an 89 2.3 ranger right now. Most likely I won't get either, but I'll keep dreaming of em lol. I keep thinking about of much more of an insane price they'll be in the future.I like them both. One is full-size and the other is a smaller Ranger size. Both look nice in the photos. Really, you need to decide how you will use the truck and what you want out of it.
If I had to decide, it would be tough. I like the spaciousness of the full-size truck. But I prefer the smaller size for most of my offroad adventures, mostly in width. I travel a lot of narrow, tighter trails. The wheelbase of the larger truck isn't a problem. The 2.9l is a very capable engine for the Bronco II. It has a few minor quirks. But it's a good, solid platform.
Price? I'm divorced and broke. I can't afford either one. Also, I would be taking it offroad in Rock's, mud, trees, brush, etc. I prefer to spend less initially and then do my customizing and.make the truck what I really want. At those prices, I wouldn't buy either one. But keep in mind, I recently bought an F250 Superduty for $4800 as a tow rig and I'm repairing it as I go. In the next couple weeks, I'll be finishing the majority of repairs that truck needs. It will be stronger and more capable than it was brand new and I'll still have less than $10k in it.
Perhaps others can give you advice regarding the price. But it still boils down to; What do you expect from the truck and what skills or money do you have to use to maintain and modify it for your use?
Not full fledge looking lol just day dreaming.So, the 5.0 powered one is the full-size Bronco with the factory removable top and the other is the Ranger based Bronco (II). So I don’t know exactly what you’re looking for.
Pre-Covid, those prices would be stupid. Now, I don’t know. The real question becomes if they are what they claim to be (there’s a lot of misrepresentation among vehicles, especially older ones). Beyond that it’s what you’re looking for and what you’re willing to pay for it.
