2021 Bronco World Premiere

Damn, they did a really good job. I'm not much of an off-roader type, but this looks fun.

RIP Jeep Wrangler

neat, great having it back I'm sick of all these big dumb pickups crowding the roads.

I kinda want one..lockers, armor, and 35's stock!

It hurts my soul that the 4 door versions will sell way more. That proper 2 door Bronco is an awesome vehicle. I kinda want one.

....but yikes at starting price of $30k :\

granted, if that's your single, all-rounder motor transport in this modern world with ridiculous wants that replace actual needs, it's a good option.

I like it and it checks a lot of boxes. I hope they come out with a Raptor version with a V8 that I might be able to afford once they depreciate 60%.

Bronco Sport - Ford Escape Appearance package with less cargo capacity and a bit extra room for passengers
Bronco 2dr (aka the not -wrangler) - For when you want a Jeep Wrangler with less room for guys in the back and "ford engineering quirks" that piss you off when you just mail off your final payment and are now dealing with repairs on your own.
Bronco 4dr - AKA the one you are going to see everywhere with all the cutesey "Look at me!!! I modded my truck with this crap and now I lifted it and now I have evil headlights and I attached 4 flags to the back and I wonder If they make a tactical version of the tire cover and the did you get the recall done? What do you mean I got replace the entire housing when it module fails aka whatdyamean only the 2021 have the issue and the redesigned part is only on 23's

Naturally, i would only buy a 2dr in yellow with the 7spd stick. Assuming that no dealers will actually stock the stick I'd probably order a base trim.
Reality is I would never waste money on one and wouldn't consider that class of car as my personal daily. At most I'd get one as a second vehicle and even then I'd sooner get an old Bronco II (cuz sentimental reasons) over the new one.

I used to own a Bronco II.
Starting price for the 4x4 version was about 14K and adjusted for inflation translates to 30K.

Toss in all the modern niceties you get with the new one as well as the "niche\cool factor", 30K seems like a fair price.

Looks very nice. One of my uncles had a pair of Bronco IIs back in ancient times that he really liked - brings back memories of the many fishing and hunting trips we took in them. I also recall him spending more time working on them than he did driving them - one of them was always not running for some reason or another.

I'll be interested to see how much aluminum is in it. A lot, I'll bet, especially in the doors and panels. I hate aluminum.

I just hope it hasn't inherited the F150's spark plugs that keep breaking off when you try to change them. Those things are beyond annoying.

That's the Sasquatch package, yes, they really call it that.

I was at the Ford site today and you can place your order now for the top of the line model that comes out next spring ($59k). At least you could, apparently they've sold out.

I owned a Bronco II. It was for many years in the JD powers list of the top ten worst cars of all time. Managed to drive mine for 250k miles.

I'm really digging the accessory rack on the dash. About freaking time someone thought of it. But you folks do realize every redneck is going to be buying these for 20% above MSRP, right?

 

[QueBert]

I especially love how the 2 door looks. It's not a Jeep so hopefully it won't hold it's value like they do. I would LOVE to pick up a used one in about 5-6 years for like $16k. With that engine it should get pretty good MPG too. That's one of the sexiest vehicles I've seen in a long time, wowzers.

If it's anything like the current Raptors, it will either barely depreciate...or some cases, actually appreciate, I think. I seem to recall not too long ago that ~8 year-old raptors were selling at something like 90% of their original sale price? lol.

Popular vehicles are popular. A lot of people will pay a premium to get something they really want.

I agree, but when a dealership is sitting on inventory and no one is buying and they still have ludicrous markups then that is where I roll my eyes and move on. For instance, several Chevy dealerships nearest me did that with the new vette. They held more inventory than anyone was willing to pay for the markups. I searched on Chvy's own website and had to literally go out of state to get an MSRP offer. Sometimes the dealerships think the market is there, but it cannot be proved when they are sitting on inventory.

Then that's a stupid dealer, not a stupid buyer.
