Is a Ford Bronco a good first car?
I’m looking for a first-time vehicle for myself, and I’m really attached to the idea of a car I can take off-roading and camping with me (some of my favorite hobbies). I’ve heard many positive things about the Bronco from friends, and I love the look of some older models. But are they good first cars?

The
Ford Bronco
is a decent choice for a first car, although if you’re looking for a vehicle that prioritizes safety, the Ford Edge
may be a better choice.While the Bronco has received above-average reliability ratings—along with admiration for its off-road capability—it’s not the
best car choice for first-time drivers
new to the road. On top of lacking safety aids (especially in older models), a number of newer Broncos have been recalled for risks of an engine fire, among other problems. But if nothing but a Bronco will do, try to stay away from older models if possible, and avoid the Bronco II—Ford’s most questionable vehicle—at all costs!
