buddysystem Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 That roof rack looks like it will work with the front roof panels off. BTW, the fuel tank on the Wrangler is forward of the rear axle. Not sure anyone does that anymore since the Pinto days. Just the muffler in back. One thing my Wrangler does have in the cargo area that is handy is a small trunk under the cargo panel. It's handy for tow straps, off road accessories etc. It could certainly be bigger. Hopefully Ford took advantage of this space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausrutherford Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Lets stop this "Wrangler vs.Bronco" bullcrap. The traditional Jeep design and the Bronco will always be connected. Ford built more "Jeeps" in WWII than Willys-Overland did! Ford built the Military "Jeeps" like the M151 into the 1980s. In other words, the Bronco and the modern Jeep share lineage. PS: On a side note, Ford of Brazil actually bought Willys of Brazil. So you had Ford badged "Jeeps" in Latin America: So quite the whining... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really want one. Rare in the US for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justdatdude Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I love the way this looks definitely a good blend of design cues from the original and the Bronco 2. This makes me believe there might be a bigger full size Bronco in the works based on the perceived size. Does anyone have any idea if this will be under 30k starting or a little over? As I was typing this I read the news about the cancelled event. Hopefully they can do a Livestream controlled event a little later this month to finally reveal the Bronco and it's specs.

rmc523 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 They can cancel the in person part of the event and still show the vehicle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Just do it online on the same date. To 99.9% of people (everyone but the ones in that room), that's all they'd have seen anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinaw Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The automotive press is normally invited to these things. Lots of reporters sitting in prototypes, all within a few feet of one another. I imagine this is why the event was postponed. What's a few more weeks? We've already waited several years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
