More Bronco hear say.

[Uncle Gump]

The unveiling of ULTRA4 stock class Bronco seemed a bit lack luster when they pulled the sheet off at KOH. The reality of this Bronco is really a big deal though. At least in my humble opinion. It means they're gonna walk the walk... and they believe in there design enough to go head to head with the rest. There is still some race parts that make up these rigs... but if I'm reading it right... some of it will probably be part of Ford Performance parts.

They even have portals on these race trucks.

I'd say Ford isn't messing around with this...

I still think this will bleed into Ranger.

I seen the easter egg too... I was caught up in the race trucks though.

There is a lot of beef in that suspension...

I can hear it now...

Do any of these Broncos exist at dealerships yet? So someone can actually go look at one? Not interested in a Bronco Sport, I want to take a look at the actual Bronco. Doubt I'd ever take the top off but I like the 2 door looks. I'd love to get a comparison shot between a Bronco 2 and the new 2 door Bronco....it looks like its larger than a Bronco 2 but not nearly as large as the 80's and 90's full size Broncos. I don't think I'd venture too far offroad, maybe some backroads on forestry service roads and such, but no rock crawling type stuff, so a lower end Bronco would probably be fine for my use.

I sure hope they did a better job than Jeep did on the waterproofing LOL, that would really suck to take a $50k SUV offroad and destroy all the electronics in the dash....OOPS LOL.

No, they are showing them off at events though. At King of Hammers they are doing half hour rides right now (or within the past couple days anyway)

As things progress they will be easier to see.

I've heard they are working to get units to the dealers for people to see and drive... probably have to make an appointment.

Apparently nobody drives here in Idaho, as there's yet to ever be any events like that here, and not sure why there's hundreds of thousands of acres for them to test vehicles out on in real world conditions instead of fake parking lots of hauled in dirt LOL.

I told my aunt the other day she needs to let me know when they get some delivered as I want to go look at them. She's a service manager for a Ford Dealer in Boise so she should know when stuff shows up LOL. Last I talked to her she said they were starting to get a few of the Bronco Sports in stock, the 1 they had listed on their website made me laugh though, it was a base model with a little 3 cylinder in it, I guess Ford must have found some old Geo Metro engines lying around LOL.

@wildbill23c, to be fair our states don't buy that many. This is survey taken on Bronco6g for the first thousand orders on their site.

 

[Uncle Gump]

I never looked at that piece of info.

Interesting... I would have thought IA would have been higher due to the Granger Ford deal alone.

I think it is more by buyer than dealer.

When I filled out the survey they asked what my state was, dealer was just dealer name.

 

[Uncle Gump]

Probably better by state ownership that way.

Most of that reason is people have no idea what is out there because the automakers and every other company out there doesn't seem to know these states exist so they never bother to have any events in these states and the majority of people who live here have no idea anything new exists because they're not on the internet, if its not sitting out at a dealership or on a shelf they don't know its out there. Many people here are retired, over 70 years old, they don't have computers and smart phones. These companies are doing themselves a disservice by not advertising outside the internet and their shows...but they don't care, its all about how much money they can rake in at these events, not about showing people what's out there.

Older/retired people generally still resort to the news papers, and TV for their information. I've yet to see a Bronco Sport commercial on TV, let alone a commercial for the Bronco. Same goes for newspapers, they're still advertising 2020 stuff LOL.

They wander the roads here....not been at home long enough to run thru a complete one.
