My 24 years comment was referring to the last time a Bronco rolled off of the assembly line and how long most bronco enthusiasts have been waiting.
As far as the reveal, Ford said Spring 2020 in NOVEMBER, it was initially going to be at the North American International Auto Show along with a stand alone event at either the same time or just prior. If you’ve followed the threads on here and other Bronco6G forums the Job 1 date has been December of this year for well over a year now, and has only been delayed by 1-2 months due to corona.
If it’s not revealed by June 24th (the date I’ve heard) then yes be concerned. But we are apparently getting news in the next 2 weeks so I’d hold your horses on that grand Cherokee.
To late, no v8, no diesel, not a fan of tiny turbo motors in 115 heat, but do love them on hills, hence my need for v8 or diesel. Jeep has both.
I'm reminded of an unofficial polling of a Ford Dealers mechanics on which motor they would want in their f150, I think it was 10 for ten, all said v8, the turbo's are just to gadgety.
Don't get me wrong, love my Ford(s), but their lineup this decade is lacking, Explorer a touch to big, all have third row seating you have to drag around for vehicle life, loaded costs as much as a 1 year old BMW X6. Why? Money. Me and wife, thats it, maybe dogs, but seat 7? I don't need an E150. Escape? Had a 2005, loved it, 170,000 miles on it, sold it when I felt tranny was beginning to go. New Escapes, way to small comparably. Why? Generally they make cars and trucks bigger through their life cycle. Can't even sit in one, to tiny.
Grand Cherokee? Yeah, costs what an Explorer costs, right sized, has a V8 or Deisel, Rides like a large luxury car but can lock the axles. Seriously.
New Bronco? Again, this is the perfect time to release limited details, the drivetrain as an example. Full color photos? Nah, hold but Tesla can show you what a truck he is selling 3 years from now looks like, GMC, chevy and dodge doing the same, but fords bronco, nope. Really? 64 1/2 Mustang had an earlier release. No release of information in my mind, is unfortunately, a bad thing. As in they did not make a Wrangler killer, or even Tacoma killer.
