I posted this in another thread but it’s relavent to this one as well. LEBC reps attended a Ford SoTex Sales meeting just before TG. Here is what the Sales Manager was allowed to release:
“The word I hear is that the team in Dearborn is still dimensioning all of the bodystyle/powertrain/content/user experience elements of the next gen Bronco. We have already announced that we will launch Bronco in 2020, and it will be manufactured alongside the new Ford Ranger at Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan. All indications are that Bronco is a major priority for the company, and that our best designers and engineers are fully engaged in ensuring the vehicle is true to the first generation of Bronco, while delivering the capability the customer desires, and the canvas on which they will want to put their own personal touches. We are excited about the prospects of reintroducing Bronco into the Ford lineup in the not too distant future! Our Bronco enthusiasts and our Dealers eagerly await the first look at the soon to be released Ford Bronco!!!”
The 2 main points are “true to original Bronco” (why they only wanted EBs at the meeting), and that it will be customizable (aftermarket support like Jeep). Also we were asked to provide some input to the design team. We provided comments very much in line with all the comments in this thread and others on CB. I too hope they listen!
Sweet. This is good.
