Harley Lover Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Jeep, turn out the lights, the party's over: Last week, Jeep unveiled four concepts before the start of this year’s Easter Jeep Safari adventure. Today, Ford is trying to steal the show with four custom Bronco and one Bronco Sport concepts in Moab, previewing a range of accessories for the two off-roaders.

Donaldo Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Ford could have crashed the party a lot better with the V8 and hybrid versions of the Bronco. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sir Donaldo. Or even better, a prototype BEV Bronco. That would really steal the show at Moab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The BEV Bronco isn’t as far in the future as you think and there are ways around the range issues in the toolbox. Instant torque changes rock crawling. Engineering actually has some power in the company currently with budgets and making class leading product. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a lot to like about Ford's baby powerboost, I hope that it encourages Ford to do more with that line of PHEV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such as this “rumor” related to the 2022 Ranger? “It will use a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and supported by an electric motor for a combined output of 362 horsepower (270 kilowatts) and 502 pound-feet (680 Newton-meters) of torque.” https://www.motor1.com/news/424683/2022-ford-ranger-rumors/ ....off topic, my bad...Back to Bronco accessories, the aftermarket support for Bronco is going to be phenomenal.

People seem to have a hard time wrapping their heads around the fact that 5 years is a typical product cycle, which puts us at the 2027MY-which is very close to mandates for BEVs from some governments. I'd fully expect that at least 80-90% of Ford's NA lineup to be BEV or a PHEV by the 2030MY. Maybe I'll trade mine in when a BEV Bronco shows up...I'll have my new one paid off by then LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to figure out what exactly this means. 80-90% of nameplates will offer a BEV and/or PHEV variant 80-90% of models will be BEV or PHEV. 80-90% of sales will be BEV or PHEV. One seems plausible, two is a stretch, three is slightly better than having flying cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One seems plausible, two is a stretch, three is slightly better than having flying cars. For passenger cars and light trucks, Ford will probably set a goal for NA that's similar to what it announced in Europe back in February. Ford Europe Goes All-In On EVs On Road To Sustainable Profitability; Cologne Site Begins $1 Billion Transformation | Ford Media Center By mid-2026, 100 percent of Ford’s passenger vehicle range in Europe will be zero-emissions capable, all-electric or plug-in hybrid Will be completely all-electric by 2030 So for Bronco, the next product cycle will have only BEV and PHEV versions upon model introduction, and BEV only toward the second half of the cycle.

rmc523 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I like certain elements of most of them, I’ll have to make another list about it later to go into more detail . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting Ford to have competition for the new Hummer BEV, Wrangler 4xe, and upcoming Toyota 4x4 (4Runner/Land Cruiser) in short order . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I don't love the bumpers on the ARB one, but they're more integrated looking than a lot of them. The license plate on the spare is a no go for me, though. I havne't seen the Wildtrak's plastic rear bumper in person yet, but hate it in pictures (the steel/plastic upper cap one that BD/BL/FE get looks so much better), so I'm keeping an eye out for replacement options! On the 4wp one, I don't love or hate the Bronco text on the stripe, but what kills my OCD more is the stripe going through the middle of the handles and badging, but I understand you can't really go lower than that with the wheel arch/well there. That rear bumper isn't terrible either (though has the same license plate issue). I thought it was neat how they wrapped the roof pillars. I kind of wish they'd gone with different flares here - the stock Sasquatch ones look out of place with the new bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
