2021 Ford Bronco - shots fired

[TheRobSJ]

Figured this is as good a thread as any to drop this one in :

Yeah that new GM logo.....yikes.

I’m sure they spent millions with focus groups and a marketing firm to come up with that preschool looking bullshit. Such a fail.

Speaking of Ford Trucks. What do you think of the upcoming Maverick? Unibody based and smaller than Ranger (perhaps maybe the size of the last Ranger).

WHAT
a maverick is not a truck FORD, you hit it out of the park with the bronco and then make the maverick into a truck!!!!

what is WRONG with you people?

Did you not see the meme? This is the same company that is branding an electric SUV a Mustang.

That's a Bronco? Looks like a Kia Soul that got all puffed up from an allergic reaction to a bee sting. That thing is fuggly!

I think you have it backwards. The Bronco Sport is fair looking and is a huge improvement over the Escape it is based on. That Kia Soul is Fugly.

The Mavericks and Comets were nothing to get excited about. I've got no problem with Ford using the name for a new product.


Those looking for Bronco and Bronco Sport content might consider checking out the Bronco Nation YouTube Channel. The videos say they aren't affiliated with Ford but they sure get a lot of access to, prototype and pre-production models and Ford staff.

Couple of their videos below.

Fully loaded too, I see. I hate that dealers never get mid-level trim units for their first deliveries. Had the same problem when trying to buy my Ranger.

I can't imagine why a dealer loading up on well promoted, apparently high demand new models wouldn't buy fully upgraded models for the first go around.

I love the Kia Soul. I wouldn't own one, but I'm not 22 either. We have the Kia HQ down here in Irvine, and I was at a gas station when one showed up. 50-60 something guy driving it (factory car, not his).

But it was a cool car.

no, i don't follow new cars at all.

it sounds like they're trying to embrace demolition man "now everything is taco bell"

Hellcat all the things!

Hit CAFE numbers by pumping out Fiat 500’s. W000t11!!!1!2

That should be FIATCHRYSLERDODGEJEEPRAMPUGEAUXXX’s corporate slogan.... “w00t, fuckers”

Mary Barra probably dislocated her shoulder patting herself on the back for that one.

Embarrassing.

You really want another Pinto coupe?

 

[auntiebling]

You really want another Pinto coupe?

yes
yes i do

ideally a shooting brake option as well

BRING BACK THE MASS MARKET DEATHTRAPS MADE FROM UPCYCLED CEREAL BOXES!!!!

there is a bright orange maverick running around my 'hood that has to have a v8 stuffed in it. it actually looks cool!

 

[Kornholio]

I've seen many Maverick's and Pinto's with V8 swaps. Much approved.

So the 2021 Ranger B&P tool finally went live and quite frankly, I'd rather have the Tremor package 4X4 over a Bronco. YMMV.

Came out to $48k for me. Damn

Tone down the options there, bud.

I managed it to just over $40K and through Costco I'd pay less than invoice anyway.

 

[berth]

That's a pretty good looking truck.

Despite it being from the neolithic, I love the look of the modern 4x4 Tacomas, especially with the new "khaki" brown, gray, and blue paint schemes.

If I'm going to get something new, I'm going to get something fancy.

I've been driving my temporary truck for almost 9 years now.

 

[Kornholio]

Compared to your current truck, almost anything is "fancy".

I placed the order for my Bronco yesterday. For a vehicle listed at under $30K, it sure didn't take much to get it over $40k.

I ordered base with Sasquatch and about $1500 worth of minor options like floor mats, sound deadening, and a roof rack. You can't currently get a manual transmission with Sasquatch, so that automatically adds $1600. And of course, sales tax gets added in too. At least I have a long time to come up with the money for it.

Nobody knows when it will actually show up. I figure that it's more than six months off.
