New Ford Bronco

Has anyone successfully reserved one? The site is erroring out for me.

Edit: After several refreshes, I reserved a two-door Badlands model. MSRP Base $42K.

Kinda leary about a first gen model but what the hell.

95:1 crawl ratio, front sway bar disconnect, standard 7 speed manual.. stuff dreams are made of. This is aimed squarely at the Jeep Rubicon, including a price range to match as well

Love it but will stick to my $35K 6 speed Tacoma TRD OR 4x4.

Got email invite to a regional dealer today to their in-house reveal this Wednesday.

I had been waiting for new Bronco for over 20 years and grew weary of the endless speculation.

Finally traded my JK in on a new Ranger 3 weeks ago.

Yes, but IFS and the manual is only on the 4 banger not the 6.

It certainly looks good but the proof will be in the pudding. I’d wait a couple of years...at least. It’s not a refresh, it’s a new model. Lots of kinks to wok out. Lots.

I have a 1996 Bronco that I've been driving for quite a few years.

Insane crawl rate.....and IFS. Once again, Ford being, well, Ford. Now, Ford needs to get a four door Bronco out to MOAB to compete head to head with a new Jeep Rubicon. Lets see how these two actually compete against each other outside of a $200k promotional video.

Two days after Jeep teased a V-8–powered Wrangler, and on the day of the Bronco debut, it reveals the Wrangler Rubicon 392 concept.

Well played Jeep, very well played. Jeep wins the trolling award for the day.

It looks like a short LR3/4 to me.

Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed.
Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists.
Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed.

No way I'll ever get rid of my JK. Every day I get more and more joy out of her. Recently I upgraded the bumper and fender flares. Very happy with it.

Just put the deposit down on a 4Dr Outer Banks model, all the First Editions are spoken for, darn it, saves me $15K LOL. Who knows someone will balk on a FE edition by the time they ask me if I"m still interested.

Gives me time to get the old Eff Juan Fiddy ready to sell.

Looked at the Jeep Gladiator, nice enough but a bit narrow and short doorways, hopefully this will let me get my big butt in without having to contort my body.

I like that 2 door but not going to trade in the 4Runner for it.

Situation awareness is defined as a continuous extraction of environmental information, integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events. Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you.

Does your JK have 162K miles like my JKU Rubicon? I project I’ll have around 180K by the time deliveries start happening next year.

They claim it’s sporting Dana 44 diffs and the 10 speed auto is presumably from the F series trucks.
