Funny you should ask... I'm not sure yet. The 2-door looks almost like my FJ Cruiser. I'm trying to work through our next vehicle purchase. I had tried to get my wife to look at a new (or "new to her") vehicle and then we could give her current Audi to my daughter but that hasn't worked out. My daughter recently asked if she can have my FJ. If we do that, then I'll need to buy another truck/SUV vehicle for myself so one of these could be in the running. I'll see to see details on towing capacity for the 4-door version.
Ford opened its reservation books on Monday evening, and predictably, the site was immediately flooded by interested buyers, effectively crashing it.
I pity the fool that buys a new Ford vehicle in the first year of production. My last year production Explorer left my wife stranded before it was even a year old. I mean that's pretty much every new car, but with Ford.
If you do get one, wait until the year model is almost finished, and they fixed the issues on the line. Assuming they do, cause Ford.
Is their record really that bad? I haven't bought a new Ford since '83 lol.
I dunno, but this is the first Ford I've ever bought. It was a 2019 which was the last year of that model. I have never had a new car leave me stranded in the first year with less than 10k miles on it.
I haven't personally owned a Ford, but I have several family members with them. No major issues with the ones that have been purchased within the last 10 years. I think with any mass produced vehicle, you have the chance to get a bad one. I haven't seen a vehicle forum yet where someone didn't have a bad experience with a vehicle from a manufacturer. I wouldn't necessarily equate that to everyone's experience with that particular vehicle unless you do encounter a forum or other area of feedback where owners are expressing the same issues.
FWIW, I would have no concerns buying a first year Bronco if the specs suited my needs. That part remains to be seen.
I do have a few buddies that own local Ford dealerships. One of them is taking $100 deposits on Broncos and will eat the $100 if you change your mind later. Quite temping...

for some reason I was under the impression out of the domestic brands they were the most reliable. my friend has a '12 or '13 or '14 F150 and it's not a rolls royce on the interior but feels solid as hell.

Reliability is why I stick with Toyota trucks for the most part. My '07.5 Silverado has been pretty good overall, but the airbag light has been on for a year because I just don't have the money to get it fixed. I know I should...but...
Anyway, my wife has the '18 4Runner and we've owned several Hondas and other Toyotas throughout our marriage. None have ever had problems. Every single American brand I've owned has been trouble. Chevy, Mercury, Saturn, Ford...ugh. Once my Silvy dies I'm getting a Tundra. The tech in the cabin is old and ugly, but the things run forever as long as you change the fluids regularly.
I swear my '11 Corolla is made out of a mixture of Adamantium and Kevlar Powertrain is absolutely bulletproof at 180k kms. The mechanic that services it says it's just warming up and that many go well into the 200k kms...
