I almost reserved one, but I’ll likely wait until they’re out and I can test drive one.

MSRP is surprisingly reasonable from what they're showingnow...First edition starting at $59k and base model starting at $26k?

Surprised it's not in the $70's

Would've been cool to see one with 5-600 hp like the Raptor though

Rockcrawlers and trail riders are going to be hard-pressed to dump their Rubicons with all the suspension mods for this.

Why assume this is the target market, though? For all of the Wrangler’s off-road capability, what percentage of new sales do you think go to rock crawlers and trail riders? Hell, people are still buying and rebuilding 40-year-old CJ-7’s.

That’s not to say off-road capability doesn’t matter. I just don’t think Ford has to displace Jeep in the rock crawler world for the new Bronco to be successful. IMO, the niche is people that want a true SUV for every day driving instead of a crossover or a minivan on a truck chassis.

Does anyone have any idea when this will be added to the Build & Price tool? Currently the Bronco Sport was the only model added

Rumor is there is one in the works to be released a year or two after the original models are produced similar to how they are going to release the Ranger Raptor.

LOL have you seen cars on the road? With car loans the way they are it doesn't matter. People will somehow justify financing for 20 years.

Not talking abut those idiots.

IDK... its a toy, people like toys. Looks pretty ballin. All reservations spots have been claimed for 1st edition. Who on here got one?

Ford has really triggered the GM and JEEP Fanboys.

The new Ford trail control on the automatics and crawl on the manuals is far better than anyone else has to be honest.

You can let trail control drive the car for you from 0 to 20 mph and do all the necessary moves for you if you want.

has nice looking approach and departure angles. But much like a jeep pretty much useless for anything other than riding around looking cool on you stool.

Pretty sure it’s only the first editions that are all gone. You can still reserve the other models.
