New Ford Bronco

[SFC B]

If they hire Al Cowlings as spokesman I'll buy on the SPOT!!

I think the upgraded models are pretty sweet. The sport model looks like a cheap ass version of an explorer

The Badlands is looking goooooood.

I've never been a Ford guy, but this Bronco beats the snot out of the new "Blazer".

But, pavement time between the two will most likely be equal. mtmuley

I bet you will see a lot of these parked in front of sorority houses when school starts back up.

@Sam Colt Most of the sorority gals I had the pleasure of knowing drove Escalades. Would be even more fun now if they drive Broncos.

@mtmuley probably.

Didn't know any sorority girls, but have fond memories of cowgirls that drove 4 wheel drive pickups. mtmuley

Talking about "where they end up" is kind of a moot point. It is the same situation for all new vehicles except maybe HD trucks. The big picture is that it IS seriously off road capable, looks great harkening back to the OG Bronco AND it is being made by an American company that did not take a bailout as opposed to an Italian company. They sold all 3500 "first editions" last night in about an hour. In a couple of model years (once any kinks and dealer premiums are gone) I MIGHT be tempted.

IH Scout ii as well

My first thought was that the lines remind me of the scout bodies. I bet we don't get a turbo diesel

Wish I would have reserved one

Lord help me, my wife saw the video today

I want one. Old lady wants to buy a house down the road out of town.

I could buy several broncos for that price. Guess I'll be waiting on the bronco

It would be so great if there was some special on TV about how OJ didn’t do it and a new Ford Bronco commercial came on during it.

Looks really cool. And since it's now a sub-brand they'll probably release a truck in a few years.

Problem with these and the wrangler/gladiator is they just aren't practical enough to have unless you are wealthy*. Got a family? Not enough interior space. Want to tow a trailer? Limited towing capacity. Trust me, I've been trying my hardest to justify the practicality because I want one. But I'd be spending more money on something that's smaller and less practical than my pickup just to have a slight improvement in off road performance.

They really are the new red convertible. That said, I invite everyone to make the case for owning one of these. Please.

*Unless you are talking about inexpensive used vehicles. In which case that can work.

"Time for "the specs spew," so pay attention. The base engine under the hood of the 2021 Ford Bronco is a 2.3-liter turbo inline-four producing 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, which ties the 2.0-liter turbo Jeep Wrangler for horsepower and beats it (295 lb-ft) in torque. The 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6 stumps up 310 hp and 400 lb-ft, handily besting the Wrangler's aging 3.6-liter V-6 (at 285 hp and 260 lb-ft). Ford has no answer to Jeep's 260-hp, 442-lb-ft EcoDiesel V-6. That said, there will be a Raptor version of the Bronco coming in a few years."

Some of these models are looking good!

I wonder if it's steel or aluminum, and what curb weights will be..
