She posted a Facebook screenshot with her name on it so she's probably f--ked if she does. Her name is Rachel Fox. She says she has friends that are ford engineers. She’s on the Ford Bronco 2021 FB group. Edited August 17, 2020 by akirby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely, if it's a fit out area having MOPs there would be a nightmare to control, better to deliver the vehicles complete to the ordering dealership.

Yup, I did expect a self-contained area for plant employees to install accessories, but not a "store". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that, there's going to be people that will want to see their vehicles being built but if that's not possible then maybe a video of progress down the line and mod centre?

Ive actually given this idea some thought. A special panel that seals the passenger area could allow you to remove the rear seats and make a nice sized bed... A convertible PU if you will. Would be a cool feature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREMiERdrum Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 There was an employee ridealong event for Bronco Sport / 2dr / 4dr today, and a B6G member took questions to ask. Of most interest, white painted hard top *will* be available at launch, and the Marine Grade Vinyl interior will come in multiple colors. Not that you guys would have doubted what I've been telling you for months, but this bit of affirmation should help. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got picked to go but I couldn't because I'm at the plant and the Saturday slots filled up before I saw the email saying I got picked. It would have been nice for them to have had time slots that started later than 2:30pm. Edited August 20, 2020 by fuzzymoomoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The events sound like they're well done. The pics look fun, though they're still just showing off the same 5 trucks. Sounds like you guys will be a bit busier doing test builds soon(ish), huh? (?)

The lesser AWD systems will need to be put through their paces. They might just have the rugged styling not the off road prowess. We don’t know yet.

Isn't that just a regular bronco with vinyl floor/no carpet and the back seats removed? Yes maybe the cabin is isolated but IDK if i see the value in a PU bronco that you then put the bed topper on.
