Anyone seen the new 2021 Ford Bronco in person?

The new Broncos don’t impress me at all. 1.5 engine? Seriously?!

Plus not the most powerful “SUV”

1.3? Is that a Briggs and Stratton or a Tecumseh?

Like other retro style vehicles the Bronco disappoints me when I see one in person. What once looked good, or we remember it as such, doesn't look that good in its updated form. Some good looking, classic elements are there but the whole thing just ends up lacking the character of the original vehicle. I had the same experience with the FJ Cruiser. It looked pretty good in the promo matetial and in ads but when I saw it in person I was not so thrilled. I'm not saying the Bronco is hideous but it's not quite there for me.

I think the big Bronco is super sharp. The Bronco sport is a joke.

Ford mastered the art of marketng photos with the low camera angle photo (maybe taken by a guy laying prone in the dirt). Makes it look awesome and worshipful. But when you are standing in a library parking lot looking down at it, the Bronco seems unmpressive maybe not even noticeable by mist people. At first I thought it was a KIA.

Much like a Tundra

I'll wait for one in white. The OJ Simpson Commemorative Edition;

Are you sure it wasn't a Sport?

I have seen exactly one NON-Sport new Bronco in person, unfortunately I was busy at work and couldn't really look it over or park my Explorer next to it for a size reference, but it wasn't exactly small and didn't even have the largest tires available. I'm sure it would dwarf my Explorers and their 235/75R15 tires. My Explorers make the Sport look rinky dink, which it is.

Not mine but a relative’s order arrived. Badlands sasquatch i think. Its very impressive in person. Shame they cant pump these out to match demand.

Black Bronco hit our small town dealership today - they parked it front and center in the mostly empty lot. Sadly there is only one F150 on the lot - but did see two new ones today bought from big city dealers. Sharp trucks.

Now I am not even sure but in that case what does that say about Ford watering down their own new brand? It said Bronco on the front that much I do know.

I think they definitely screwed up making the branding/badging of these so close.

Just saw my first Bronco in person. Have seen dozens of Bronco Sports - they must be selling well. I’d never buy an SUV, but I’d surely take a Bronco Sport over its chassis-mate, the Escape.

They will be hot, cool some, drop prices later, all that …
can tell them apart from a country mile with 35’s

I‘m more annoyed with Ford using the Mustang name on that EV that’s not a Mustang

 

[4WD]

I’ve seen one Bronco and dozens of Bronco Sports.

Yeah, the Canadian Squash was my 1st … Black one here is just my 2nd … the Sports I see every day …

 

[Kristian]

Absolutely gorgeous 4x4. Hope Ford bring this to EU. It probably won't be big seller, but still.

 

[Turbo Actual]

I've seen a few here and there. They do stand out to me.

That would be the Bronco 'Sport' IE tarted up Escape. The new fullsize comes with either the Ecoboost 2.3 I4 or 2.7 V6.

 

[RooflessVW]

I dig them both. My wife likes the big Bronco - the Sport is more my style.

 

[pbm]

I actually saw 2 Broncos today....very nice looking vehicle. I'd prefer the 2.7T over the 1.5T or any GM engine in their small SUV (Blazer I guess)...

There was one sitting out in front of the local dealer last week, the thought of swinging in and looking at it crossed my mind, but in the end wasn't compelling enough to actually turn the steering wheel into the lot. And yes it was a Bronco, not a sport, this place is fairly crawling with sports, I see them nearly every day at least nearly every day I leave the house.

Frankly I'm not sure why this thing doesn't really do it for me... Although the red one above does look nice.
