I do anticipate it going global down the road, though. Especially in markets where ICE vehicles have longer roads ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-dubz Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I like the shape of the headlight housing. The giant oval that made it to production has always seemed kinda odd to me. At least you don’t really notice it until your are really close. Maybe that will make for a good refresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGR Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Yesterday, I saw my first up close glimpse of Bronco Sports, 3 of them on a transporter. There were also some F150s on the trailer, but I didn't pay attention to whether those were '20s or '21s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not sold on the big Bronco writing. Also not a fan of that look on the Raptor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That made the truck for me. The big Bronco at the time had it also. That really stood out on tha road and looked cool. Surprised the new Bronco is not doing it....will probably be an after market accessory. The 80's Bronco II is not getting much love, but well preserved ones go for decent money like fox body Mustangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEM or AM I'll definitely be getting one just like my fullsize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probowler Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Near I guess my only remaining question is why couldn't the spare camera go in or under the bottom of the bumper? Looks like plenty of space there for it, and the way the tire goes into the bumper cutout doesn't look like you could fit a bigger tire there to accidentally block it.

You’re not going to get as good of a field of view with the camera mounted that low and that area you circled is below the bumper anyway so that's going to be a problem with Rock crawlers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
