I hope so. I am curious what the design direction will be on the front of this vehicle. It seems that the maverick and the Santa Cruz will be the only competitors in this segment (that I know of). The Santa Cruz seems to have taken a more sleek, cuv style. id like to see the maverick take a more truck like approach. I think both could do well carving out their own niche in the segment.

Any supercrew f150 that has a toolbox only has about 4 feet of useable bed behind it.

If you are using a truck for work or if you carry stuff often, a larger bed makes sense. But most people use trucks as daily drivers these days and rarely use the bed to its full potential. I’ve had several f150s and rangers over the years and most of the time the bed was either empty, or at the most half full, so for the majority of the time, a smaller bed would have been just fine. Also a 4ft bed still allows you to carry objects that won’t fit inside of an suv. Or carry things that you wouldn’t want inside your car, like mulch. It also makes the vehicle more likely to fit into a garage. If there is an off-road version, the shorter bed allows better departure angles. I really liked the last gen of the sport trac. This would be an ideal vehicle for me now.

I think you are right. I’d guess the end of the truck is probably right where the white mesh for the taillights starts. it looks pretty good from what we can see.

Where did the 230k number come from?

Based off what we have seen, rivian has my vote too.

I can’t remember all the details, but I think it ended up being around $10 cheaper per visit at the dealership.

yeah, I’m not too sure I want to be riding in a vehicle without a roof going 0-60 in 3 seconds.

probably not. There’s not going to be enough room in the back seat, especially after the partition dividing the front and rear seats was installed. Also, I’d imagine it’d be a lot easier for someone to escape the vehicle if there isn’t a fixed roof. i could see it replacing the raptors doing border patrol duty though.

I got a maintenance plan when we got our new car. I ran the numbers and the price for everything that was included was much cheaper than competing oil change stores so I got it. Now knowing how long it takes to get an oil change at the dealership, I’d gladly pay more at other locations just to be done quicker. Probably won’t be doing a maintenance deal again.

This makes me laugh. I don’t know why they call it quick lane, there is nothing quick about getting an oil change at the dealership. It takes me at least 2 hours at the dealership where it would take 15 min at any other place.

you can’t tell if it’s coming or going ???

That color looks good

What do you guys think the refresh/redesign model will look like for the bronco? Will it be more like the wrangler where it stays basically the same with very minor changes or would we see more drastic changes like you normally see in a redesign?

So does anyone have the reservation numbers for the sport? I wonder how many it will get? With it not being as unique as the bronco, I’d expect it’s reservations to be lower. Reserving the sport would be like reserving an escape in my opinion. So if ford is able to get several thousand reservations for it, I would see that as a win and a good indicator of how well it might sell in the future.

I’d probably pick the Everest over the bronco. While the removable roof is cool, it’s just not something I really want to deal with. Also, it’d probably be cheaper than a bronco and almost as capable (both are more than capable for my daily driver needs with the occasional drive in a pasture, beach or trail). I’d take a fixed roof bronco over either though.

https://www.motor1.com/news/436227/ford-maverick-pickup-insider-details/ per the article, the bed is about 2 ft shorter than the rangers, so it probably has a 3-4ft bed. It will have the 2.0L 4 cyl from the transit making 162hp and maybe the optional engine being the 180 hp 3 cyl from the escape. Manual could be offered as well.

i don’t remember the exact numbers, but I thought ford was shooting for 250k bronco and bronco sports combined, with the majority of those coming from the sport.

I think we might be over estimating demand for the bronco a bit. The wrangler is basically the only player in its segment and it sales have been between 190k and 240k the past few years. Those are good numbers but it doesn’t have any competition. Imagine how many f150 sales there would be if there were no other trucks, or how many explorer sales there would be if there were no other mid size SUVs? The bronco will definitely bring some new people to this segment, and it will bring over some wrangler owners too, but I think ford will be happy selling 100-150k broncos a year at 40-60k a pop.

You can get a good idea of the size in this pic. It actually looks a bit bigger than its measurements suggest.

I see it this way. If reservations could take well in to 2022 to be delivered, how long is it gonna take for me, someone who didn’t make a reservation to get one? i really like the look of the bronco. The price is a bit higher then I would normally pay for a vehicle but I’d make an exception here. But, if I’m waiting another 1 1/2 Years for there to even be a bronco on a dealer lot to test drive, then I might as well wait a little longer. Ford has several vehicles coming out soon that I’m interested in. The NG ranger, maverick, NG edge, the fusion replacement are all vehicles that I would be interested in that probably cost quite a bit less than the bronco. And who knows what other manufacturers have coming soon. If the bronco was out right now, I probably wouldn’t wait for those launches because they seem further away. Ford would take my 45k for a new bronco and be happy. But waiting 1-2 years makes those other launches a lot closer, and I could end up with one of those other vehicles at a much lower price.

saw this over at bronco6g. Deliveries are expected to start June 2021 and go into 2022. I don’t know if it’s always said this or not, but I thought at one point it was rumored that deliveries would start in April.

I think there’s a lot of potential here. Some things I’d like to see on it: 1. fixed roof with a roll down rear window 2. Sasquatch package optional 3. don’t just make it a bronco with a bed like the gladiator. It can be “inspired by bronco” the same way the mach e is inspired by the mustang. 4. give it a unique bed to differentiate it from the ranger, maybe a flareside with the f150’s generator, hidden storage, etc, features you can’t get on a ranger 5. Same modular steel bumpers from the bronco 6. Better towing numbers These jeeps are pretty cool, it’d be cool to have a bronco truck like these.

Found some more pics of the sport in the wild. these two above look pretty good. The one below could easily be mistaken for a flex.

I wonder if most people complaining about the v8 have even driven the ranger. ranger 4x4 supercrew - 4441 lbs bronco 2 door - 4319 to 4957 lbs bronco 4 door - 4499 to 4997 lbs I’m guessing any non-Sasquatch bronco will have a similar weight to the ranger. The 2.3 feels pretty fast in the ranger if you ask me. At the top end of the bronco’s weight range, I’d imagine the 2.7 would still be plenty enough power.
