2021 Bronco, a no go anytime soon

[boatpi]

Ford delays Bronco until summer, cites virus-related supplier issues
The automaker also said the Sasquatch package with manual transmission has been pushed back to the 2022 model year.



Per Auto news.

IMHO they announced it too early. And not just an announcement, but journalist drives and pricing, etc...

There are dealer billboards here that are touting the all-new bronco, and they’ve been up for months.

If I was a customer I’d be pissed if I saw a billboard, drove to the dealer, and was told the fucking thing is 10 months away.

Well to hear my neighbor tell it, if you pony up for the 2022 Ford Performance Bronco ( 4 door only), which he's currently involved with desert development, you will be seriously impressed ---- it's a real runner.

Was ready to put a deposit down. No manual trans in the 4 door was a deal killer. I’ll wait.

Is it just me, or did this whole Bronco launch not feel “real” from the start?

All the reviews of a Bronco with no engine etc...

Wanted one but didn't want to wait, bought something else. It looks like it's going to be badass. But people aren't going to wait another year if they want a new vehicle now.

Bronco lover and owned a 75, saw the powertrain line up and became sick and stopped looking. Get your shit together Ford! There’s no replacement for displacement!

Saw a semi rolling East on the I-40, just out of Flagstaff about two weeks ago with 4 of the Bronco’s on the trailer, wish i could’ve got a better view but was on a train headed west.

Totally agree. There has never been a new product launch like this.

Seemed like a test of see how much interest there might be, but nothing more than that. Never felt like there was a Real product behind it.

Saw two Broncos this week same place heading west on a semi.

LOL

More like I want to buy one, you’re advertising one, and now you’re telling me it’s almost a year away?

Compounding the frustration is of course what the delay is being blamed on

 

[was thatguy]

Are they really under $40K?
Just googled pricing for 2021’s.

People are giving Robbie Gordon shit for taking too long with his SxS

Well played. I thought the same thing LOL. At least there is one with an actual engine in it.

True or false that the bronco is a limited number production and then no more?

 

[Sleek-Jet]

You think Ford is waiting to see what the new CAFE standards are?

I would say false. Because they’ve already talked about things coming in subsequent model years.

Personally, I think COVID fucked the supply chain up. But I’m just an outsider these days.

Not only talking about them, but currently doing developmental testing, which they do years in advance.

Just pull the name plates off a Land Rover and replace with Bronco! -- and you'd never notice the difference!

The LR has heated left gate though, so your hands don't get cold pushing it down the trail.
