Entry level. Although my XLT has a bigger screen, it's not that useful for much of anything. I wish it had the heating/cooling controls on the touchscreen. They are hard to reach with the pistol grip center console.

I feel like the new Bronco is just a myth. We’ve been hearing about it “coming” for like 6 years.

I'm kind of interested in seeing the new Bronco.


Reveal pushed back to next month. Removable roof panels and doors just like Jeep.

Until I recently an f150 recently and realized its shite against the new Ram. Ford has some catching up to do.



Everyone talks about the new Rams but I have a hard time getting past it being a dodge. My dad has a 2017 Ram 2500 gas burner and it has had a new transmission and engine put it in before 150k miles, and he only occasionally uses it for heavy towing

Dodge sold the Ram brand and line years ago. Ram is its own company now.

Sometimes I forget how uninformed the typical car buyer is.

It's not going to look anything like that unfortunately.

Trying to compete with both the Wrangler and Land Rover with one vehicle is suicide. There’s no such thing as a rugged luxury vehicle. Rugged luxury is an oxymoron.


True. Bronco should be basic imo. Big engine, rugged suspension, basic electronics. This way price is reasonable and minimizes things to tear up in an off road vehicle

Yeah I looked at a 2019 F150 the other day and laughed at how small the infotainment screen was



That appears to be a base model, not a lariat or anything.

think for a solid portion of the US the Mustang has passed into undesirable territory.

I respect the history and wish it weren't so, but an electric version of a vehicle that for many is synonymous with "redneck dream car" is a little questionable IMO.




This is why I think it fails. Anyone who wants a mustang won’t want an electric one. Anyone who wants electric won’t buy a Ford Mustang. Better off giving it another name with a sporty look imo

I realize this but it’s still a Chrysler product. They just merged with Fiat and then created a Ram division. Still a POS

Actually, it looks almost exactly like that. Don't confuse the Bronco Sport (teenagers car) with the full size Bronco relaunch. Two door version in background with top off.

Here's an actual full size Bronco....

I think it was just spun off, still owned by Chrysler/Fiat and made in the same plants.

New F150 is getting a large screen on par with Ram

Chrysler stamps its name on all of Ram’s major components. Wonder what Chrysler is paid for such advertisement.

Ram is not a separate company. It's just a separate brand. Ram is still a Fiat/Chrysler product.

Nobody wants an electric Ford Mustang. Nobody wants a crossover Bronco. You’re welcome, Ford. My bill of 350k for expert consulting services is in the mail.



I'll be looking at the Mach-E when I'm in the market in a few years

The problem is their price is the same as a Tesla which offers far better technology
