They make most of their profit from extras. I wouldn't be surprised to see no available models with rubber mats and manual window cranks. I think backup cameras are required by law now but that's a nice thing to have when you're trying to back into a canyon.

yeah, I don't know. Lot's of speculation out there right now. They did file for a patent on a floor drain plug, so maybe.

Silly!

Here is the proper way to drain water from a vehicle. Only 17 seconds

I said they make the most money on the extras. I'll bet that floor drain is a very expensive option. They wouldn't patent it if they weren't worried about China stealing it and selling cheap aftermarket drains.

My wife’s cousin was in on the design on this. He couldn’t leak any information on it.

Well I like it!!

I wish they would have a big enough model for a 5.0 Liter.


Will wait and see trim packages and the 200 plus options available when it gets a little more info.

I think it will be a success....Might have a 2011 Wrangler to sell laugh

Since when has China worried about a US patent?

The Explorer came from the need for a 4 door version of the Bronco II. I've had my fill of 2 doors.

While I would like to see the F150-based, big-body Bronco return, I will admit that Ford exceeded my expectations on this 2021 model. They gave it some good hardware and design, not just a few badges slapped on Mom's grocery-getter SUV (Bronco Sport fills that role). Depending on packaging and pricing, they will sell a lot of these. The factory 35" tires, the Eco-Boost 6cyl option, and the two transmission options are kind of surprising, but in a good way. They did some homework here.

My old Jeep has floor drains. They are a rubber plug you pop out. You will probably get your hands dirty which makes this a no-go for the modern driver. This new Bronco will be saddled with every limp wristed, candy-ass, option they can dream up. Nothing will be manual if there is any way to run it through a computer instead. Throttle response will be sluggish. Expensive plastic panels will be plentiful. Hitting a deer will cost north of $15,000. Still, the name will sell it to some people and there are utility vehicles available for those who really want them.
The original Bronco was conceived as a utility vehicle for rough use. Simple, relatively inexpensive to buy and maintain. Better than the Scout or the Jeep. Not quite as good as the Toyota Land Cruiser. GD

I think they did good work here. I'm going to wait a year or two for this to sort out. My experience with buying the first year of, well anything, isn't the best. As is often the case with Ford, I thought that the color palette is weak. Really weak. Anybody else think that? I sure did. Where's the Grabber color? There isn't one.

It's a Bronco in name only...

Makes me long for my old '69 model!

The old Bronco's were nothing to brag about, If you were under 5' 10 you could drive one, but if you were 6'4" you had to put it on and wear it. put one on a narrow 2 track that was a muddy side hill and you were going down hill no matter what you did. this new Bronco, was designed by Lawyers for Walmart parking lots, don't think you will see many of them out in the woods, after a couple of years .

The website shows the street tire version on the "models" list they look horrible. They should show the ones on 33's and 35's laugh

The engines and transmission are all proven in other vehicles so may go against my inclination on getting a 1st year model.
