There are lots of posts over at Bronco6G forum where they talk about Filson too including the same Forest Service Green paint code info you presented. I never even heard of Filson until just a week or so ago so it would be a good way to promote their products at least for people like me who never heard of Filson. Just like Eddie Bauer and King Ranch; never heard of them until their partnerships with Ford. Speaking of King Ranch, I wonder if Ford will eventually offer a King Ranch type of package or trimline for the Bronco at some point over the next few years?

probowler Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Is that reflector on the side view mirror a turn-signal indicator too? I always liked that feature, though the position of that lens doesn't look like it could be seen from behind the mirror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did KR it... it’d need to go to the opposite end of the spectrum and be designed as a true, bare bones ranch truck you could drive through the herd checking fencing and the like. Something you wouldn’t mind having cattle rub up on or getting “debris” from the pasture on the floorboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that it should be using the same setup as the F-150 or Aviator GT-both of which you can't see high power lines in photos, I'd still say its on the table. I think those yellow lines we saw might be an optional air suspension setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanh Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 whilst Im enjoying some of the Bronco6g posts, Im querying why some of these :dealers" are hamming it up with self promotion. Im also seeing several "buying" groups touting pricing that I feel will leave an awful lot of prospective buyers high and dry...advertising that they will sell a vehicle , yet to be released, that's basically pre-sold over production numbers, at $1000 below invoice is head scratching to say the least...let alone somewhat suspect and un-necessary given its demand...the potential is there for bait and switch I believe...old saying in the business....anything that sounds too good to be true, usually is...wont effect us at all, we are honoring MSRP with no addendums on reservations, but Im wondering about un-necessary self promotion that makes absolutely ZERO business sense....concentrating on back end perhaps?...bad business move IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
