New Bronco - press conf from Ford

[Prizefighter]

There are so many opinions already about the new Bronco from all kinds of people who have no idea what it’s going to be in the end. I’m optimistic. Some of the patent applications we’ve seen are pretty indicative that they are taking us seriously.

The whole “not buying unless it’s a V8!” crowd is just ridiculous. Ford makes 4 bangers with more power and torque than a 289 or 302 powered EB ever had.

I think this is going to be pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, yes, and yes.

The patent sketch looks like a suzuki samurai, but I'm not they just don't want the suspense to end.

There's two different designs here. The quarter and away looks very similar to our beloved 66-77 shape.

After my 2010 fusion hybrid, I will never own another.... (It is currently limping along with roving intermittent issues.... BTW hybrids have the lowest resale value.

Listened to this podcast today with Jonathan Ward. He admits to signing non disclosures with Ford, but he gave some helpful hints as to what the new Bronco will or will not be. It appears he has collaborated a lot with them in Detroit. He claims NONE of the renderings we have seen are even close to the new one. I wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow incorporate his brand a little. Pretty interesting listen if you like icon 4x4.

I told him through social media a couple of years ago his Broncos grabbed Ford's attention and had to be one of the reasons they were bringing the Bronco back. He did see the message and gave it a thumbs up. How could Ford not notice people paying $150,000+ for a Bronco with a three year wait list? Several more companies have popped up since then further making the point.

Ford Executive: "Hey maybe there's a market here."

You think? Just don't screw it up Ford...

I think you’re spot on. I’m hopeful for the new one.

 

[Bonefizz]

I'm optimistic as well.

Seen this picture tied to an article about mirror location. I like this design if it stays true.

Looks like the Troller that Ford makes and sells in Brazil.

 

[daddycreswell]

I'd drive that all day ever day.

In the last couple of months, there have been a rapid fire of FORD patents being registered for the BRONCO. It just adds to the anticipation of it.

A few weeks ago, I commented on social media on a FORD licensed and run page. I merely mentioned, as an off comment, "Still not the BRONCO". I received a DM from the admin on that page that stated, "It will be worth the wait".

We'll just have to wait and see.

The first one looks exactly like a Suzuki samurai.

 

[Prizefighter]

This graphic design is using the Troller for illustration purposes only. They are hiding the true design. They planned ahead for this patent application.

That’s what it looks like
Except the FJ cruiser is more reliable and will hold its value way better , they are actually going up in value already even though they just stopped making them a few years ago

 

[Jeepster]

I for one will be waiting for this new unit to see what's it all about.
New Jeeps has been tainted by FIAT.
If your thinking about buying a new Jeep, think long and hard.
