Bronco reveal looks interesting. Do not sleep walk out of the tent. Long way down.
Aliona and I watched the reveal and 3 reviews so far, reviews offer better looks.
Of course she likes the 4 door, I gotta say I like the mean looking 2 door.
Base starts at 29k USD, I expect loader 4 door won't be cheap;
Not availble till next april, hmmmm timing could be right.

We are looking for something between the Edge and the F150 4x4 Crew which is a bit over kill now with the kids gone (no need to seat six anymore) and just two of us. We use mountain bikes and live basically in the Switzerland of Nova Scotia. Trustworthy winter driving and clearance to get to the good trails back on the logging roads is a bonus. I see the Edge as an urban cruiser. I find Ford is not too bad with packages when you want a certain feature, other similar features are included in the group. When buying we find their accessories are comparably priced with aftermarket items to a certain extent. Looks like there will be many"extras" on the Bronco.
I like what they are doing with the models by offering three core starter packages. Maybe our Edge and F-150 will become a two door sport Bronco if it meets all the needs.
Be cool to have the two horse breeds in the garage.

Not sure what it sounds like to you, I was just reading word for word what they put on the Ford Canada website.
I guess with hi and lo that would make it a 14 speed and the auto a 20 speed ???
Interesting they're also taking reservations on the website for orders in the fall, delivery in Spring 2021.

the way I understood it, 6 speed manual.
but has an ultra low for rock climbing.
even has an option when rock climbing
gas and brake are on one pedal.
this thing looks wicked cool and has serious off road
cababilities. depending on pricing and how hard they are to get,
I will have one next year to replace range rover.
timing is right to rpelace what we have.
Problem is Aliona wants to see it first lol.
that could add a fair bit of waiting time.
I like 2 door, she wants 4 door, so 4 door it is lol.
Funny thing is she want meaniest looking one they have.
I don't see her likeing roof off, but I suspect Diesel will like that

I saw the commercial (short film) on New Bronco last night and I like the New Bronco ?
Watched a few reviews, no one has driven it yet, but everyone is positive.
Looks like it will blow away the Jeep, some wicked options and designed
plug and play options for those who want to add or subtract.
5 option packages, which can all be added too.
the first 3500 of one option has already sold out with pre orders,
the epxect Ford to have a hard time with demand for the first couple
of years. Guess I am going to have to go to Ford and get my name on one.

Very nice looking! Here is a good writeup from top gear.
Ford really isn’t messing around. After a 24-year break, the Bronco is back, and it wants for nothing more than to bludgeon the Jeep Wrangler into a muddy submission. And on the strength of its spec, looks and price, it could well do just that.
Available with either two- or four-doors, the big Bronco (there’s a smaller Bronco Sport too. More on that in a bit) is based on the same platform as the Ford Ranger pick-up – a “fully boxed, high-strength steel chassis” that allows for 17 per cent more suspension travel than “the closest competitor”.
Naturally four-wheel drive is standard – base-spec cars get a “two-speed electronic shift-on-the-fly transfer case”, while the “Advanced” system has a two-speed electromechanical transfer case for auto shifting between 2H and 4H.
As for engines, you get the choice of a four-cylinder with 270bhp and 310lb ft, or a 2.7-litre V6 with 310bhp and 400lb ft. Both turbocharged, both petrol, both with ten-speed automatic transmissions. Though the four-cylinder gets the option of a clever seven-speed manual – six regular ratios plus a crawler gear for the really serious stuff.
0-62mph? Top speed? Not important. We’ve got some more Bronco-y numbers for you – Ford promises 11.6-inches (295mm) of ground clearance, breakover and departure angles of 29 and 37.2 degrees and a 33.5-inch (851mm) wading depth. Independent front suspension (an optional semi-active front stabiliser bar disconnects for better axle articulation) is backed-up with a five-link solid axle at the rear.
Next
You can get 35-inch tyres and beadlock wheels (FROM THE FACTORY), plus heaps more serious off-road tech like long-travel, position-sensitive Bilstein dampers and Spicer electronic locking differentials. High-spec Broncos get steel shields to protect the engine, transmission, transfer case and fuel tank from harm, and you can have heavy-duty steel bumpers with space for an integrated winch, plus “rock rails” strong enough to support the 4x4’s entire weight.
There are up to seven drive modes – including Sand/Baja, Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl. ”Trail Control” is effectively low-speed cruise control, while “Trail Turn Assist” uses torque vectoring to tighten the Bronco’s turning radius by overspeeding the outside wheel. Meanwhile the sat-nav gives access to topographical trail maps.
That’s it for the tech (there’s lots more we haven’t mentioned…), now onto the design. Unsurprisingly Ford has gone down the retro-route. Indeed, design work started with a 3D scan of the first-gen Bronco “that served to influence the proportions and design” of the new one. We think it looks superb.
Two-door Broncos get a roof that can be removed in three sections, while four-door models have four removable sections and an optional soft-top. All Broncos get removable frameless doors, plus slights on the front wings that can also serve as tie-downs.
Inside – which we guess if you’ve taken the roof and doors off isn’t really inside at all – materials are tough and hard-wearing. Some models get hose-down interiors with marine-grade vinyl seats and drain plugs. The screen is up to 12-inches across and runs Ford’s latest SYNC4 infotainment system, plus there’s a mounting point on top of the dash for a “bring-your-own-device rack” for phones, GoPros etc.
There are seven different Bronco specs on offer – all of which look excellent – plus loads of options (get the Sasquatch Package, trust us) and some 200 accessories you can get from your dealer (light bars, those doors with holes in and so-on).
Prices start at $29,995 for the two-door – the equivalent of around £23,700. Likelihood of it coming to the UK in right-hand drive? Slim to non-existent, which is just awful news. But hey, you could always buy one and stick it on a boat to Blighty. We’re tempted. Americans can reserve one now for $100 at Ford’s website.

Looks like the sport will be in 30's range
full size starting low 40's but depending
how crazy you go with build could get into the 60's
Looks like order bank opens in fall with first deliveries' early spring.
I suspect will be see alot more about this as summer unfolds.

Sasquatch comes with 35" tires, not sure thats an option I want
as cool as it would be. But Wife wants to look aggressive, so should be fun
to build as we learn how you can package it.
they say you can order base and add want you want.
so could be interesting to see all of the options.
