Wow the Bronco is under production and she’s back😁

Yeh I know not the Ford Forum but figured I’d give the forum a heads up the Bronco is now in production!

Hey CC, do you like them? Saw one in the wild and it looked a bit toy-like vs a competitor to the Wrangler.

I'm not a Ford hater by any means...had a 94 Bronco that was a tank, 3 Raptors over time, a Harley F150, and a '14 GT500. I had hoped the new Bronco would look a bit "tougher". To be fair, I have not driven one yet.

I've had 3 Wranglers (a Sahara and 2 Rubicons) that I'd say fall into this clas of vehicles. Would love a 392 Rubicon but the price point just seems cray, cray to me. Interested to see what the new Defenders are like when they drop the V8's into them. They'll have a steep British car price point I'm sure. Have seen a few versions that looked like toys and a few that looked tough. Maybe Bronco will have same.

In production? I've seen these things driving around here in Phoenix.

Did they stop production and start back up?

 

[jroyk]

I’ve seen several in Michigan. Visually unimpressive. More like Jeep Renegade.

Does nothing for me. I would buy a new Maverick first

There are two driving around here for about a week. One, just completely ugly as F - suspect is base model. Really disappointed. The other is more upscale. Is better looking but still not what I was hoping for it to be.

EDIT - the base model described above is, for me, just like the Jeeps that are really just economy cars with a jeep body. The only off road they'll do is running over the grass and weeds growing between the concrete slabs.

The Baby Bronco has been out for close to a year now. And many may confuse it since ford IMO screwed up naming the UGLY baby Bronco a Bronco. The actual Bronco which I put 2 deposits on a year ago are just now being built. And my position is if its really cool I will pick some up and or flip it and make some bucks😁

To be honest they all look the same to me other then bigger tires

 

[WhipCat]

There are 2 types, the little crappy one, is basically a Ford Escape with new body panels. Looks like crap.
The newer one and more expensive one looks much better. Make sure you guys know which one your thinking of

 

[vortecd]

this must be the "small" one. That would explain why the others all looked the same

That's the one I thoiught looked like that Jeep that's built on the Fiat 500 chassis. Looks terrible, and equally underwhelming.

Lot of people confuse em, I myself did a double take. Ford/Lincoln really stepped up their game in regards to trucks and suv's. I'm interested to see all the refreshes that are coming because of the interior updates to the f-150.

I like the bigger bronco, in pictures you can't really tell but in person it looks 100x better than baby bronco.

I am also excited ford is gonna start rolling out blue cruise q3 this year and then for the new navigator/expedition next year, so on and so forth.

If you can't easily tell what the vehicle is, there's something wrong somewhere. That's just straight up brand dilution.

Tell me about it, dodge chargers, challengers and durango's with srt body kits from factory, durango's get the hellcat hood in v6 form as well.

That's a REAL Bronco. I wish Ford was making the new one based on the new F150 instead of one of their smaller vehicles.

Had a Hot Wheel that looked like that.
My Dad had a '96 with the 351 for a few years

I ordered a bronco 2 (small version ) when they first came out , 2.8 v6 with posi track rear diff an limited slip frt diff . that thing would go anywhere. the next year they dropped the limited frt diff. as an option , in 4 wheel drive the steering was very stiff to turn.
