    2020 Ford Bronco!!

    I can't wait for them to come out, my 2019 Ranger does nothing but impress me, so a Bronco will likely be even crazier. I will own one before all said and done. Did buy several 1st Gens lately to scratch my itch to run over trees on our farm. Something about it, just makes you smile.
