Anyone check out the Bronco yet?

Got to say the new Bronco tires and rims would look savage on a Ranger!


100 dolla question! Will they fit?

They will, same offset. Except the Sasquatch (35's) those are different. There are 6 different models and all have different tire/wheel combos.

I love the looks of the Bronco. If it had a higher tow rating (it is only 3,500 lbs) I would have waited 6 months and bought that over the Ranger.

Wow Brandon that is one sweet Bronco! ? If that were my neighbor I'd be over there drooling all over it. lol

Haha, it is one sweet ride indeed. It has a very nice deep growl starting up and driving off, wonder what he’s done to it. And then they have two Tesla’s, Tesla’s ain’t for me but that bronco ?

It was rare to see any nice ones when I was living back east, all the older Bronco's were usually all rusted out or beat to death. They made great plow vehicles because they were small and could fit in smaller/tight driveways. Now living out here I get to see so many nice restored vehicles and the local car shows are great too. I'm sure it's the same for you in your area too.

It's exciting to see the first couple customers finally taking delivery of theirs and now it finally seems real seeing picture of it in their garage. It's really going to be fun seeing all the mods as some are already talking about putting 37's and even 40's on theirs.

Not sure if you saw this thread but on page 3 there's a few pictures of some nice vintage Broncos from this years Mecum Auction here along with some other great vehicles.

When I worked as a Ford huckster, er salesman, the last Bronco I sold looked like this:

I was surprised to such a nicely restored bronco as well. Most of the time they ain’t so pretty haha. I’ll have to check my local car shows, that sounds fun.

Can’t wait to see the modded Broncos too, maybe it’ll convince me in the future haha. We all know what forums do to the wants we may gain ?

ill have to check that thread out, so many threads on here, lots of hidden gems. Thanks, Dave!

Here's a great picture showing the new Bronco (Base with Sasquatch) sandwiched between 2 retro Broncos. ?

I was Editor of Bronco Driver Magazine for a few years (06-07) and I still can’t believe we actually have a resurrected Bronco and it looks so damn good! With the exception of a solid front axle (careful what you wish for) they did and amazing job and it’s truly a vehicle worthy of its predecessor, the 66-77.

Im sorry but I can see Ford, in the near future, creating the “Bronco Ranger.” As it’s sole midsize truck. New Bronco front end with a truck bed. Crew and single cab, 5.5 and 6.5 beds. Think Gladiator but Far better. Just spitballin.

It's been a long wait and way to many delays but it's exciting to see some customers actually getting their Bronco this past week. I'm not all that concerned about not having a SFA because for what I do (and I'm guessing most others) the IFS will be so much better on the road. I have no complaints with it now when going off road and I'm past the age of doing "serious" rock crawling. Ok, I don't have the ballz I use to have when I was younger. lol

There's a sub forum on the Bronco 6G site here with some info on a possible Bronco truck. I would assume Ford want to see how ell the Gladiator sales are before launching this? I honestly know nothing about the sales and have no interest in either.

Well after the announcement yesterday I’m even more confident in my choice to pick up the Ranger this spring. It looks like to get into the Bronco with the options I want I would be mid 2023 at this point. I’m not wasting years of my life waiting on a vehicle. If and when I can get a good deal on the exact build I want I will place my order. I am keeping the deposit I have to not screw up my dealers allocations but I already messaged them and said to change my status to “do not build”… Now that I know how this saga ends I’m going to pull the trigger on my suspension upgrade.

I actually like the MIC top and have no desire for a white ir color matched top. But I am getting closer to a breaking point now. It looks like Ford is again going back on their word and saying they will now start shipping dealers inventory BEFORE fulfilling ALL customers orders. If this happens my end date will be October '22. I'm out if I don't have mine by then I'll probably just fully retire and maybe entertain a Ranger Raptor if that launches. But then again I may be to old to drive before they actually hit the streets. ?

Michigan Assembly Plant (MAP) had some flooding last night, along with the whole greater Detroit area. Expect more delays, and now to Ranger orders as well.

Read this news over at B6G.

Looked like a holding lot for Stellantis was really bad (vehicles submerged)…

Good God what else can/will go wrong!

Well I guess we shall see how waterproof those hardtops are.

Edit: This is the Jeep plant not the Bronco plant below.
