Anyone seen the new 2021 Ford Bronco in person?

[mosaud1998]

Never mind the Bronco, is that a 1974 Starsky and Hutch Ford Torino in the foreground of the first picture?

Yup, it's the owner's car. He's selling it for $70k

That’s before any dealer markups too. I guess this is 2021.View attachment 62713

Better off building you own truck from a classic. More fun, more engaging for the all the good mechanical tactile aspects.
And you could have your tech put a crate BB Godzirra motor in there to boot.

Maybe down the road at some point. I need a modern, reliable, safe vehicle for daily use for a family of 5. A classic meets none of those criteria although some new vehicles aren’t very reliable either!

$61k? F that

A base model 4 door with the Sasquatch package, larger engine and the hardtop stickers at $43,720. That wouldn’t be nearly as bad, but I like my creature comforts. Once you add a hitch, better lighting, skid plates, and it forced a higher trim level on you it gets up over $50k quickly.

This Bronco, along with some other vehicles, arrived this morning at the Ford dealership my son works at.
He stated that it can't be sold because it's part of a 6 month/6K mile loaner program.

If GM was able to sell the H3, the bronco sport will sell too. Frankly, the little sport looks to me like what the escape should get back to. That ~2008 body style, the boxier one, looked good to me and that’s what the sport looks like now. No, not a bof solid axle machine, but how many people actually off-road these things anyway? its Mostly fashion, these days, and likely has been for a long time. Looking back in the 80s, I remember a lot of K5s, but they didn’t get put in the dirt until the 2nd or last owner. Am I off there?

The Ford Dealership I work for just got their first Bronco Friday Morning.

Man that thing is nice. $48k sticker doesn't seem too bad. Obviously, whoever ends up buying it or any Bronco, is going to be paying over sticker.

The one we got is a big bend with the sasquatch package, LED Headlights, Ford performance heavy-duty modular, and cargo area protector. It's Race Red on Medium Sandstone with Black Onyx cloth seats.

We can't sell it until it doesn't have 6k miles on it per Ford.

So, as of right now, it's going to be a service loaner and a car each salesman can take home.

We're probably going to add a bunch of accessories and whatnot to it before we sell it.

I don't think you're off at all. I would think most here would consider me a hardcore wheeler - I actually like the Bronco Sport.

My son and I had a chance to check one out at the dealer when my truck was getting an update. It was one of only a handful of new vehicles on the lot and sold the next day. I would gladly trade my company Escape for one. I'd pack it up and head to the White Mountains.

Wheeling is more than just a vehicle. Maybe I’m waxing poetic but it’s a hobby and a mindset. For a bunch of reasons I didn’t have anything considered wheelable until I was older and could afford it, and by then it stopped fitting as much into my week. But I heard this many times with lesser vehicles, “Mike, you take subarus where God Himself didn’t intend subarus to go.” And I learned a ton doing so. So… I think a guy or gal who knows their vehicle and it’s limits, and has a good feel for butt dynamics can put a 2” on a civic and still have a great time.

now I keep lawn chairs in the bed and date night can be spent eating 5 guys in the open air while the hood faces east.

youre alright in my book @Zaedock!

That looks delicious! Good enough to eat ... err, I mean drive.

I must be getting hungry.

Sweet ride competitive price

Sweet ride competitive price

The competitive price is theoretical, but I hope it will be realistic one day. All the crazy will have to die down first, but I hope a base model 2 door hard top will be in the running when the time comes for my next long term daily driver. It may be the last opportunity to buy a brand new body on frame Ford SUV in the US, and while I think an '88 Bronco II Eddie Bauer is way classier, I'll take this.

The truth is that the new Bronco is nothing like the original Bronco, that model was simple, very tough, practical and durable, not to mention inexpensive to buy and cheap to maintain. The new model is none of those things. It's mostly a lifestyle vehicle for pretenders.

Fair enough - especially for what we call mall crawlers in big cities … but my Rubicon is very well equipped - yet many would not be able to follow me to places I go - and that’s how you can escape the crowds to fish, canoe, relax, camp.
On the other hand don’t we hear how new pickup trucks have a luxurious interior etc … ?
These vehicles have become daily drivers and weekend warriors …
People buy what they want - others judge by what they need …

 

[loneryder]

Haven’t seen a new Bronco yet, but lots of Bronco Sport models (yes I know they are totally different). My opinion, they are both uglier than sin. I don’t know why Ford spent the money developing the Bronco when most of the market will gravitate towards the Jeep Wrangler anyway.

The Maverick is the only one I’d consider buying.

What are the Broncos I saw in FL. Last March? I didn’t think much of them.

$1500 for freight!!

I work at an FCA dealer and see the sticker on Jeep’s all the time as well as us having a Toyota dealer with the 4Runner. The bronco is priced where it can be no idea on quality but the factory build that has been pointed out is quite good if you did ever want to take it off the pavement
