Well, about a month ago I bought a Focus RS as my winter DD as I thought there was no way my Bronco would be done this year (ordered 5/21/21)......well Saturday I got the email that production is scheduled for the week of 10/10. 2 Door Black Diamond Sasquatch in cyber orange is the build.
The good problem is that I don't know what to get rid of. It is just the wife and me at home and I really don't think it is reasonable to have 5 vehicles. I freaking love the RS and it is a rascally little hooligan car that is a joy to drive. Maybe I will get tired of it, but it gets great mileage and has 32,000 miles. My Raptor may be the favorite of all the vehicles I have owned, but it has 76k miles and has held value pretty well, but how long will that last. My needs for a truck are not huge but I love to ride bikes and can get two in the back seat area. The Bronco will require a hitch and wont be as convenient. One last thing as I have family in Florida and the Raptor is so great to travel in. We do plan to take the Boxster to Florida next month and it may become our preferred steed for the 8.5 hour jaunt, but I don't feel the Bronco nor RS will be great on trips.
I fear I wont like the Bronco as much as the Raptor. (I drove a Wrangler and detested it.) I also dont want to get rid of the RS but maybe that is what I should do. How can I not take the new Bronco even though I will get a check not to take it? This community has great thoughts and I enjoy opinions on these types of issues. I need an excel spreadsheet and probably will make one....I am such an accounting nerd.
