Honestly, I like the new (real) Broncos. The sports are a nice improvement over the Escape, though. I've not followed a new vehicle release this close since the Vipers.
Early on, the Stellantis flop turned my stomach.
The new Blazers are crossovers. They even ruined the Trailblazer. It's a sign of the times. Soccer mom mobiles and crossover mall crawlers... It's what everyone (except a select few) are buying.
The rest in my area buy massive crew cab trucks and lift them to look pretty in parking lots with their 'slut li-', I mean, 'salt life' stickers or get ruined with the Carolina squat and behind the wheel LED rings.
I like what Ford did with homage to old tech while incorporating new tech. I love their bare bones entry level option that can be upgraded with just the off road package for serious wheelers. Really nice touch. Also like how their driver screen actually looks like an instrument cluster.
The massive screens are a turn off for me, especially, since I am prone to ocular migraines triggered when bright light hits my eyes at a side angle. Most every device I use has a form of dark mode turned on to mitigate this. Plus, a simple button is much quicker to use for basic stuff like turning on vents/headlights/wipers than trying to navigate through menus on a tablet. (Here's looking at you, Tesla).
