I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
The reveal is scheduled for March... So getting the brochure in the next few weeks would make sense. Probably right after the reveal.

As compared to the Ranger where dealers didn't get books until several months after the trucks started shipping...

Honestly… that is huge news... if any of it is true. I do a little reading daily about the new Bronco and those three engines aren't even on the radar. The Coyote being pretty much a pipe dream...

The buzz is a 2.3 and 2.7 ecoboosts… with a 7 speed manual being optional.

It won't be long until we know. One thing is for sure... Ford has done a super job concealing hard facts.

It is either that or the details are going to be as big of a surprise to them as everyone else...

There has been so much misdirection and so many conspiracies/theories it almost looks like nobody knows what it is going to be.

Most of that is from people who have no clue, but want it to be true.

They know exactly what they're doing... I just can't wait to see it.

Is it 2dr or 2dr/4dr? 2.3, 2.7, 3.0 or 5.0? Take on a wrangler on a trail or the Baja like a Raptor? Automatic only or optional 7 speed?

What few hints ford has released don’t really add up to anything. The only sign of a 2dr was under a tarp. A 5.0 really? Hang with a Rubi with IFS? With Ford leading the push on killing automatics are they really developing a trans just for the Bronco.

And then there is this that kinda flies in the face of the VS Wrangler statement.

Well since Rams eco diesel (Mercedes) is pure utter dog shit. Maybe that new 3.0 is the powerstroke 3.0 so a diesel bronco would be a big draw for many people.

I drove a 2020 Ram 2500 Cummins bighorn yesterday. It's was amazing. The only 2 things I didn't like about it were the back up camera placement. (I like where mine is mounted in the 14, 1500 in the rear view mirror, I hated the radio screen one in the 2020 2500. Secondly No manual transmission. It was a friend's rental, So whatever, But I absolutely LOVED the engine brake. If Ford can build a powerstroke 3.0 that will last and get all the little nuances just right it will go down as the most spectacular rereleased vehicle ever. Especially if this bronco is as versatile in terms of engines transmission ect. Ford wanted to continue the Ford motor company "family" thing at least in my opinion, what better way then a new vehicle that can draw in everyone from soccer moms to muddy hillbillies to raging homosexuals. Coughes and looks at PJ.... that's not important. But what is noone knows a damn thing yet and these automotive companies have let us down so many times in so many different ways over the years. The only thing I can think to say if Bronco is a flop, Is to QUOTE that little swedish nazi grendel thornbridge, How dare you!!!

I don't count birthday's anymore...just happy to be looking down at the ground instead of looking up
This may be the new power plant. Hamster generator is hooked up to a 12 volt battery which powers the electric motor.
Cheap to run, just lettuce n carrots.
Only bi-product is hamster poop which can be used in a garden, to grow more lettuce n carrots.
It's a perpetual energy machine.
