Broncofan7 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Great job to Ford and the Bronco team! Having driven a Ranger right after they came out last year, I have no doubt that plant will make great Broncos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Where are these Warthog Easter eggs everyone is talking about? I get the connection with the A-10 and Halo, but I haven’t seen anything that connects the Bronco to them, outside of the name getting tossed around as the Raptor equivalent.

Old guys like me stand in awe & respect of the A-10 Warthog "tank killer", youngsters think the Warthog from Halo (video game) is the greatest vehicle on earth.

I've surprised more than a few people by telling them this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 In the Lifestyle Brand video above they mention that the "OffRoadeo" will be available on the Bronco and the Bronco Sport "Badlands". So we know the top dog Sport will be the Badlands? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 You can move the reservation to another dealer. That’s way better than Mach-e where you had to cancel the order and get back in line. That should help with ADMs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Mary3 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Any chance the Bronco will be available without an Ecoboost engine? Something like the 3.3L in the F-150? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that matters other than having more dealers to pick from. You can pick your dealer for Mach-e and change the dealer. The difference is you lose your original place in line. If the start seeing a lot of ADMs on Mach-e maybe they’ll change that policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
