Oh I agree with you, but seeing how the Glass House has made decisions lately I'm just surprised that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting to me that they put the blue oval on the back of it. I know the old one had it but I figured since they’re turning Bronco into a brand like Mustang, they would take a page out of the Mustang book and not put the blue oval on it, just the Bronco horse logo. In the first few years, I think non-informed people will just look at it and assume it is a different-ish Jeep. I think they need to put the Blue Oval on it to say "this is not a Jeep, its something else" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a thought but if such a truck is being considered, Ford will wait a few years to announce it. It would be a perfect way to drum up continued bronco excitement after the initial launch hype starts to fade.

One of the most interesting things about such a truck to me is what it will be targeting, if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcartwright99 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I am wondering if we will have the build and price up next week or are we going to have to wait longer for that? Really want to price things out for myself and a friend. I really am trying to get my friend into a Bronco Sport instead of a Suburu Crosstrek.

PREMiERdrum Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Welp, I guess I'll post it and make it official. I'm planning on putting a deposit down next Monday for a 4 door. Have to make sure the numbers work out in the next few months (I haven't had a car payment since the Fusion was paid off in 2015), but I'm going to go ahead and get the wheels turning. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to believe that they would only put in an awesome trans with crawler gear in the 4. That doesn't make sense to me. I just get the feeling they spent a lot to make the manual happen so they might as well spread it around. If it were just economy and being cheap to produce (ala manual in the Fusion S) then it would be different but it's got a freaking crawler gear. I am hopeful that it will be in the 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 This may have been brought up somewhere in the thread, but I don't see a traditional pull emergency brake a la the Ranger? I thought it had one (or maybe it was just the manual?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if the color goes well the the rest of the interior, it would look pretty good. I like the aluminum or brushed aluminum look too, but man I can already imagine all the reflections coming off that when the top is off. Especially with the shape of that dash, it’d probably blind you ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having trouble understanding what advantages there are to putting down a $100 deposit for a vehicle that isn't in production yet. It won't be a limited production vehicle like the GT, where buyers are hand selected by Ford. It seems to me that trying to get to the front of the line will just encourage dealers to charge full MSRP plus ADM for the 'privilege' of having an early production Bronco. Or do I have this all wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
