PREMiERdrum Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 6 hours ago, probowler said: Pretty much as expected, but it confirms all the good stuff that we expected. Lots of top options, which I'm excited to see. Some of the neat stuff: power outlets, a portable fridge, Winch, the retractable awning, rock lights, Air compressor, the 7-speed, Base standard trim will make people happy. Really just a ton of options and goodies, too much to bother listing and talking about. If this is truly just the begining, "The 200", small selection of options and accessories to be continuously expanded, then this truck is gonna own. The part time AND full-time 4wd stuff is interesting. Can the bronco do both? Or is it different systems you choose from? I'm guessing the former? Interior color options sound bland, but navy could be interesting. Looks like no 3.0 for launch, if this is legit. It's legit. A big takeaway for me is that there isn't a white roof option listed. Based on what I've heard - and what we've all seen - I have to assume it's available somewhere. If not, my color choice changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, with the sheer volume of options it looks like will be available, it's going to be very interesting to see the order guide and how the options, packages, etc. are structured. Lots of customization, etc. to suit a wide variety of buyers but I expect the new Bronco is going to be a potential nightmare to order but we'll know better next week once the order guide is released. Don't forget, they’re building a new MOD center for Bronco. I think it's safe to say a lot of goodies will be available from the factory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wrestling with it. Given the climate here, if the pricing works I think I probably would be better suited with the hard top + soft top. If it were an option, I'd be going with Race Red / Oxford White hard top / Black cloth top. If the white hard top isn't available, I might just stick with the black soft top for now and try it for a winter or two then add the hard top if needed. But then I'm not as sold on Race Red.

Even though the 460’s HP rating was kind of low in the 80’s, they always had good torque. I always thought the 460 was a really good engine. Back on topic: I’m really looking forward to the reveal.

On a retro-ish product like this, I really like the idea of a "liquid" red instead of a heavy metalflake. My other leading option is Cyber Orange... not trying to blend in with this one. ?♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some days I see a RR F150 and it looks great. Next day it looks orange-ish. I seriously considered it for my F150 but dropped it for blue jeans or magnetic and since blue jeans wasn’t available with the sport package I went magnetic (and love it). Ruby red is nice but my Fusion was ruby red and I didn’t want the same exact color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been driving the Mineral Gray Flex for too long... time for something loud.

T-dubz Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I was hoping for colors similar to these. Looks like the light blue is a possibility. They do have other grays, but I’d like lead foot gray. Too bad they aren’t offering any dark blues or dark greens. Those look pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only downside, at least on my SHO is that it chips like hell. My poor car has a ton of white spots on the front of it. Regarding the option list, I'm sure there is stuff on there that isn't listed or is obfuscated, like the "engine" listed under the 2.3L and 2.7L Ecoboost. As for the white top...wasn't that leaked some place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcartwright99 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Does the Sasquatch package make the Bronco invisible so people can't find it? Or does it come with a supply of Jack's beef jerky? Is this going to be revealed on Monday? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hey, they are bringing the WildTrak name to America (that's already used in other regions)! Sweet! As for Sasquatch, think Jeep will remove this Easter egg next model year? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came out with a black pack for Ranger about a year ago. sports appearance package was coming out IIRC...haven't seen any yet though...but based on no shipments for close to 4 months THAT doesn't surprise me...theres also a sport appearance pack for the Edge. Ok double checked...not showing yet...but we literally got a flyer stating "Its back" ...sports appearance pack on Explorer as they used to have...maybe its been delayed with all the drama going on....was always a good seller for us prior...
