Thoughts on the New Bronco?

[GT]

Got to see the full size Bronco in person.

I was all set to get one. Ordered and everything. But I really wanted a new Mustang so I canceled the Bronco and ordered the Mach1.

Killer retro look... could be a huge hit for Ford if quality is there and they can keep up with potential demand. I think the market is primed for a retro utilitarian suv as the appeal of large, bloated, look alike SUV’s is getting stale. My wife has an 07 FJ Cruiser and it is insane what the resale and interest is for this vehicle that was last made in 2014.

Here’s the bigger question:

Will the Bronco paint be able to hold up to a single trail, muddying or water crossing - or will it chip and flake like an S550 that is driven on the street.... LOL

I saw one yesterday at my local dealer. They were getting training and the rep was kind enough to let me sit in it and we chatted for a bit. It was a manual too!!!

This is true for the 4Runner as well. Big resale value.

I was pumped when they announced that they're bringing it back. I talked to my neighbor (not a diehard Ford girl) who traded her GC in and said it was an upgrade in every sense of the word.

So my plan is a two door, all white Bronco with 'JUICE' as my license plate.

I think Ford absolutely nailed the designs of both the new Bronco and Bronco Sport.

I just wish Ford had the forethought to have made these available for sale outside of the USA. Bronco, along with Mustang, is a globally recognized name, it would virtually sell itself. I had hoped the success of the Mustang as an export would have convinced Ford that the Bronco could do very well in other countries.

I love the looks but they need to come with more HP !

The look is there but with the front wheel drive layout the lost me.
It needs to be more truck based

You're confusing the bronco and bronco sport.
The Bronco is a body on frame "truck" the bronco sport is a ford escape with a new body. Almost everybody I have talked to that isn't diehard interested in the bronco gets these confused so no worries.

I have a reservation in, but I hope I don't actually get it until summer 2022. Just bought my 2021 mustang GT April 2nd, would be nice to have about a year to get a nice down payment together for the bronco.

As a previous 4-time 2-door Jeep Wrangler owner, I love that Ford had the foresight to offer the 2-door as the nameplate originally intended. I hope that Bronco quality exceeds Jeep's.

I have one on the short list of possible replacements for my '15 Mustang (the only non-car), believe it or not. It fits my non-driver needs better than the Mustang, but I think I'd miss having a car I can take out and thrash on weekends.
