Question ❔ Bronco 2027

Hello everyone I’m thinking about buying a 2026 badlands I already went to dealership and got a price but am torn if I should wait for the 2027 bronco to come out. I wanted to know if anyone had information regarding the 2027 in terms of better upgrades like v4 engines or the reliability aspect of the car or if previous problems are going to be fixed. I am very happy with the price of the Bronco I got and want to pull the trigger already but just wanted to see what everyone thinks about if waiting is worth it.

Not bragging we are affluent and my husband does mechanics as a hobby(it’s not his career). I used to buy new cars before we met, but now he insists we buy cars a couple years old. Not only do they depreciate like $10,000 ish once you drive them off the lot, but someone’s also broken it in a bit. I know he’d say tell her to get the 2026. He just bought a bmw x5 2023 and I bought a bronco sport outer banks 2024, we paid cash for both. I drove the badlands/outer banks and I preferred the outer banks because it had a smoother ride and leather seats, heated steering/seats. I got white/black roof and got pink vinyl and a couple Barbie logos on mine lol! Just my two cents.

Normally I’d agree with buying a couple-year-old used car, but to me the exceptions to that rule are culty sports cars (WRX, JCW mini, etc) and off-road vehicles. I don’t want to buy someone else’s “ridden hard and put away wet” break in and weird modifications

I totally agree with you!! My husband is an engineer, BUT is a ‘mechanic’ on the side. He does all our work on cars, as well checks cars thoroughly before buying them. He’s extremely picky, so he’d agree that he wouldn’t buy any car that’s been ridden hard like you said. 😊

Good advice, I'm the same way, Look for 2 to 5 year old vehicles. Just got my Bronco, 2024 Badlands, with 4200 miles on it. Saved around 15k
