2021 FORD BRONCO REVEAL

[bennymac]

It's your standard issue Brodeo.

You know the guy in the "EPIC" shirt is a solid blue square skier with a middle management job that occupies a soul crushing portion of his life, and every time he pulls that thing over his head he fleetingly contemplates ending his pathetic existence instead of hoisting the facade of coolness he needs to feel accepted by his "friends."

I think everyone else at the campfire is ok with the direction their lives are heading. But EPIC is still holding on to aviators, American Eagle shorts, red beer pong cups, and the idea that fraternities are for life and good times will always be happening every weekend.

Wait....is this photo a Rorschach test?

I can’t get excited for newer 2 door 4x4s. The short wheelbase sucks for multiple reasons. They need to bring back stretched 2 doors like the LJ, Zr2 blazer, modern FJ. The 4runner wheelbase isn’t bad but doesn’t carry the sexiness of a stretched 2 door IMO.

And I hate the look of 4 door wranglers, which is essentially what the 4 door bronco will be.

The 2dr 4runners with the pop tops were fun (never took one on any serious off roading though)

Enrique Iglesias has a chick to each side of him and great posture.

I kind of want to be like him.

The deal killer for me is if I can't sleep stretched out in the back with the seats down. I have a feeling that will be the case with the 4 door.

I bet most current and past EB owners will be disappointed. I get why Ford is doing it and what market they are chasing but they are trading on a name/brand and are missing the true heritage. Stroppe will be rolling in his grave.

I'll eat crow if it is actually cool.

Signed a former EB owner.

Gawd I wanna punch every one of those dudes in that first pic. Surprising lack of white sunglasses though..

That's Ford reaching out to us specifically...and wishing it was the 90s like us too...Either that, or they're going after the Cult of Toyota...

I for one am flattered and plan to give a look at this "new Bronco with the Gen1 bomber & feels", as I have always had a hardon for Gen 1 Broncos.

But Ford is a big fucking company, so they have to be lying to me...

[XXX-er]

With political correctness Ford don't wana get into anything risque with the marketing I guess naming a car after a horse was pretty safe ?

Boy, he's really aged well.

You may be right about his skiing and the job but that guy actually feels epic the whole time he's wearing that thing. Maybe not so much the rest of the time. The shirt is possibly keeping him alive.

hows this stack up against a tgr outing?









ouch

Most TGR meetups I've been to the average age was north of 50...Not that there's anything wrong with that, but far from bro brah.

Hey, not all maggots are pensioners.

That said, if I see any of you wearing a t shirt that says "EPIC" and it's not in direct relation to the pass, you're getting put on notice.

I wrote what I wrote before watching that and it only enforces it. There’s a dude towards the end that describes the free summer camp so people can learn about their new car and lifestyle. The early Bronco was built for a lifestyle that needed a vehicle. The new one, as stated in the video, is to bring people into a lifestyle because there’s a Bronco. That’s the soul that’s missing. #sappysonofabitch #instagram

But at the same time, if it’s filling a real need, who cares that they are creating a lifestyle for some lost wealthy souls....

[Conundrum]

Just makes me realize that I’m a sentimental curmudgeon that doesn’t handle pop cultural shifts well. Maybe I’ll buy one someday.

True enough. Everybody needs hobbies. As long as it doesn’t hurt others or interferes with others it’s all good.

[bodywhomper]

I am reluctant to follow pop trends, but if something like that fits my needs, fuck it, I try not to care what others think.

Upthread there was discussion of sleeping in the back. I had a 2-door 4Runner for a long time and could spread out in the back no problem. My wife and I lived homeless on the streets of north Oakland and south Berkeley in it for a summer. I’m 5’10”.

I may be an outlier but this looks to be a pack of clowns

[Mazderati]

Wonder what the marketing budget is for this lifestyle launch.

I’m calling bullshit - the bronco nation hat they showed for sale wasn’t depicted as a flat brim.

So much flannel and so many ironically slouched knit hats. Think I just made a little mouth vomit.

Will there be a dèrelique trim level for these unsettling times?

Much like GSA and F'KNA...it's gonna be the inside joke. I'm definitely getting one for next meet up!
