More Bronco hear say.

Well I tried to watch it...

My dog was eating and got his collar tags locked into the dish stand and took off on a mad dash spilling food and water everywhere... howling like he was being attacked by a bobcat. By the time I got him undone and cleaned up the damn mess... the video ended. Guess I will have to watch it another time.

Was it this:

yes it was...

I believe Jim's point was that they market it as a different vehicle - the Gladiator doesn't claim itself as a Wrangler and vice versa. There are -lots- of shared parts, but they're treated as a different product.

Now I get it. Thank you

I'm seeing "Sports" all over Tallahassee. Either there are a few running around, or I keep seeing the same two everywhere. Only seeing "black" and "mint" color.

What the Heck am I looking at?

A Gladiator. Not a Wrangler.

Some of those welders putting together the F series stuff were like "here, enjoy your booger welded truck!" dragging and skipping the gun around without releasing the trigger at all. lol

I gotta say, I LOVE how modular these new full size Bronco's are. The fact that the rear quarters are easily removable had me sold the minute I saw it. Same with the front fenders. Sucks I'll never be able to afford one.

Here is a tid bit of "hear say" I copied from B6G...

The Bronco Brand:
- Conquest results of both Sport sales and Bronco 2/4dr reservations is widely outpacing targets, showing strong proof of concept in the 3-model launch portfolio. Warthog's announcement isn't too far off, and I expect we could see the next member of the Bronco family debut in the next 18 months (even if in concept form).
- The bespoke "Bronco" showroom options - developed by Ford at the request of dealers - will play a part in the brand's second wave of growth as first wave deliveries wrap up. I can't say too much more, but these will be much more than upfitting and accessory displays.

If this holds true... we will see the warthog or raptor pretty soon. I'm still hopeful in the "next member" of the Bronco family. I know it's a longshot... but I really want a Bronco pickup with 2 doors and a 6 ft box with tailgate.

What else would the 3rd member of the family be if it wasn't a truck?

Are they counting the 2 and 4 door models as one? Or does the sport count as one, and then the 2 door and 4 door make up the remaining two models?

The 3 model launch would be the Sport, the 2 door, and the 4 door.

The next wave may very well be a pickup, but I don’t foresee a 2 door being available. 4 door pickups are 10x more popular then regular cabs.

Sport... 2 door... 4 door

It's probably a pick up of some sort. I just hope for bed space and not more doors.

It could also be like the old half cab Bronco... it could be a 2 door on a 4 door wheel base... after all the Bronco R was a long wheelbase 2 door. I would go for the long wheelbase 2 door.

Not really sure... but it's going to be exciting!

I really want an extended cab...

Here's What I Saw At The 2021 Ford Bronco Assembly Plant - Jalopnik

“Hey man, I know it’s late notice - but how does your 10am look?” a representative from Ford Motor Company texted me on Sunday night. FoMoCo wanted to show me the exciting new Ford Bronco being assembled at the Michigan Assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan. I wasn’t about to miss out.
