2021 FORD BRONCO REVEAL

[mooseknuckle]

So anyone willing to wait an extra 6mths for the 7MT with Sasquatch option? Was planning for some top-door off driving next summer and would rather not wait any longer.

[Kopi_Red]

For those complaining about the Sasquatch package being unavailable with the base manual, it seems like Ford is at least testing it on the manual truck, so we'll see where that leads.

It’s happening...

B&P pushed back to October. Anxious to see pricing/packaging options.

1992 Ford Bronco · Sport Utility 2D
$3,500

1992 Ford Bronco. 302 V-8 fuel injected engine. Headers. 5 speed manual transmission. Previous owner put in a new clutch and some front end steering components he said and it looks like he did. 6" lift, near new 33" tires. Previous owner also had the front bucket seats completely reupholstered $800. 167k miles. Runs and sounds good with the headers. CASH in person sales only. No trades. Serious inquiries only. Walla Walla Washington. Clean clear title.

I had one of those long ago. The 302 is time tested but hugely uninspiring.

Ditto. 302 but blew the transmission. Still have found memories somehow. However gas was hovering around 1.50ish.

Pretty impressed they actually listened regarding 7mt and sasquatch package(still feel dumb saying that out loud...)

As of right now, I am planning on a bare-bones Base model with MT and adding slightly bigger tires. I will consider adding the Sasquatch when they finally announce the price. But I can’t see spending $5K-$6K (admittedly a good deal for what it adds) when all I will use it for is putt-putting around my mountain town. It would look cool though.

When you all start getting your Broncos, just try and not be like this Jeep guy:

If i saw that on a trail i'd be thinking about if it would be possible for me and my buddies to roll it off the side.

Brand aside; that sucks. Eff those types of people. They ruin access for everyone.

I could see a very strong argument for squatch as value add to base if you plan to wheel in it. Gets you lockers and better suspension among I’m sure other things without getting forced into higher end package add ons. Rumors of pretty cheap after market sway bar disconnect. Won’t matter for trips to town of course.

I hope some mountain bikers stole all his Smashmouth and Britney Spears CDs out of his visor sleeves.

My argument would be that if Harry decides to get the locker(s) I would be more than happy to show him some really fun spots. Or maybe he already knows..

Hahahaha. Solid comment.

One of the comments in the Drive piece cracked me up with the following Zoolander gif that is exactly how I pictured this misadventure going:

"It's a Jeep thing. You wouldn't understand."

That’s gonna end up like a Mustang leaving a cars n coffee.

Guarantee it.

Went to see my '95 project yesterday.
Tranny fluid all over the floor, empty hole where the engine used to be, engine up on the hoist, parts laying all over the floor.
Looked just like that scene where the dude rips the still beating heart out in Indiana Jones.

Sourcing a new throttle body and injectors right now, since the Ford OEM ones are apparently made of unobtanium.
Ford wanted $2,000 for a throttle body and 8 injectors.
I got a much higher performance throttle body and brand new 19# injectors for about $700.
Looks like I will be in this thing for about $9,000 with a 0 mile engine.
Interior and paint will need to be done, and new wheels and tires.
It had headers already, and a K&N filter kit, so those 2 add ons pretty much covered my purchase price.

Fun stuff

What I'm really waiting for is to see if Ford will announce a plug in hybrid version to compete with the Wrangler 4xe. If they did, I would be interested in a smaller wheeled 4 door version as an everyday and adventure vehicle. If they don't, I might still consider a base model (ideally 2 door) with the Sasquatch package as a second car for exploring rougher trails closer to home. I love manuals, but unless my wife gets better at driving our current car, I'd probably go for the automatic so she could drive it. I want to have whatever plug in car we end up as my commuter.

Some Jeep group rallied and got it out without a helicopter.

No word on the Smashmouth CDs.

Pretty sure it has already been speculated after the E Mustang launch, plus Ford has a major stake in Rivian now, and the front grille of the Bronco sort of looks Rivianesque.

Edit- you said plug in Hybrid, not full Electric.
This article spells it out-

I saw that leak and have been eagerly following, but they basically just seem to be speculating that the Bronco Hybrid will be using a system similar to either the Explorer or F150 hybrid. Which is not exactly shocking, but it also seems like they actually had no new info in that article but could guess enough to write an article to generate clicks, so we'll see. Both the Explorer and F150 are standard rather than plug in hybrids. The sweet spot for me is a plug in hybrid as I could run it on electricity to work and back but still fill up in random desert towns. Ford has a plug in hybrid Escape, so we'll see. It might be more likely on the Bronco Sport, but I'm hoping that the buzz that Jeep is trying to build for the advantages of electric power for offroading will pressure Ford into offering something more similar to the 4xe.

I also hope that the hybrid trim is available on reasonably optioned versions of the truck. With the Explorer, it's only offered on the Limited. I'd hope on the Bronco that it would be offered on something like the Black Diamond trim.

Watched the video today. Looked like a clean recovery but hoping the drivers get dinged on that one.

[warthog]

Jeep owners group rallying to make sure they don't get shut down from running any trails.
Yeah, that guy is getting dinged in many ways.

I hope there was an oversized zorb involved? Otherwise, meh.
