The Bronco Thread

[roketman]

Anybody see the Area 51 paint in person? I am torn between that and Cactus Gray.

Yes I have. I think it looks great! My son just ordered a Bronco in that color.

 

[Gene Cassone]

Yes I have seen it on the Bronco sport and looks great! Yes , and my son also has one on order in this color! ( mine will be in rapid red!!)

Somewhere at Land Rover, they are only wishing they nailed their Defender re-do, as well as Ford's design team nailed the Bronco blend of new technology and classic lines.

Saw a Bronco in the Wild today. It was the 4-door "Sport" Model.

Meh....It was OK.

The Bronco Sport is actually really nice for what it is. I got in one with a $29k MSRP and that’s the first time in a long time I’ve been in a car, really any car, and thought “this is a lot of car for the money.” Clever features, nice design, very reasonable price. They will sell lots to regular people.

 

[2112]

Yeah, I am only commenting on the external design. I think Classic design is far cooler.

I am a Ford guy either way. Hope they sell a ton of these.

Really glowing review in the Drive. See:

2021 Ford Bronco Review: A New Off-Road God Is Born

As promised, the new Bronco is a purpose-built delight on a trail. On road? Well, it's still a truck.

Glad to see it offers a manny tranny.

Looking like my prediction of the tires from the promotional images being left on the cutting room floor are coming true.

Just received letter for my 2021 that was delayed to 2022 now to 2023 for the black hard top. Patience is a virtue …

When do the new Broncos begin delivery? (Not the baby sport model already seen around town)

They are starting to trickle out now, but the backlog is immense.

My original build week was June 7 but has been pushed back three times so far to week of July 12 as of now. Somebody must have put me on the Sh-t list

 

[Gene Cassone]

Don’t feel bad ! I too was week of June 7, got pushed back 3 times now week of August 7. Your dealer will get news of build date changes long before you get a email!!

We received our first unit yesterday for a VIP customer. Our next unit shows in transit. And we have a hardtop in the plant now. Lets hope from here on things go smooth.

Lets hope from here on things go smooth.

We all hope... but it appears that there's still some rough seas ahead with potential improvement beginning in August (full-rate production objective). Michigan assembly plant will be closed down 2 of the next 4 weeks giving suppliers (namely hardtop producing Webasto) the chance to get ahead of the game a little.

The good news is that some Broncos are finally getting into customer's hands - and the initial review all continue to be very positive!

I haven’t even made it to the Sh-t list yet...

We are going to wait a little longer.. didn’t see this coming

Finally ordered one last night. I can live without a hard top so hopefully it'll be here in a few months.
