As far as cost and ease of maintenance, I'd MUCH rather have my old Blazer. I can do all the work myself, I don't need a computer to figure out what's wrong, and everything is wayyyy cheaper.
Guys in the club with the new Jeep JK's spend tens of thousands on their rigs. And when something goes wrong, it has to go to a shop.
No joke. Water pump for my truck, $17.99. Water pump for a 2012 Jeep JK, $576.99. And you'd most likely have to pay someone else to do it.
In the long run, that Bronco would be a bargain.
