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.

Found this link on B6G, looks like Ford has a new patent on a SFA. Possibly for the new Warthog and maybe Raptors? I don't see them using it on all the models because most are DD and mall crawlers but this would make sense to target true off roaders.

Hmmmmm. I will be shocked if I ever see a newly designed solid axle from Ford.

Thx! Good review Dennis.


There have been 2-3 on B6G who took delivery of theirs last week. Here's a good customer review.

Here's a video from the B6G moderator who was in TX at the Bronco Off Rodeo.

Guess they won't have to worry about any fuel in the oil smell. :shock:

Does the Bronco have sync 4? I ask because the screen looks suspiciously the size as the hole in the Mav dash.

Yes all the models including the Base has Sync 4. There's 2 different screen sizes available 8" & 12". The 12" comes in the High package.

OK Dave, I'm thinking that I may need to block you.

I can think of several things that I've bought on a whim based on your posts, and now you've gone and linked a bunch of Bronco reviews.

Now I'm thinking I may want one of those too.

I was here thinking we were online friends, but now I'm wondering if I can actually afford you. :p

Join the club Dennis I can't afford myself! lol ?

I got sucked in the same way courtesy of Jim @wanted33. One minute we were chatting about the Bronco the next I had one on order. The nice thing is it's only $100 (refundable) down and it gets you a reservation. Might as well just bite the bullet and order one now.

Jim, It's been really exciting to finally see some getting their Broncos. Makes it almost seem real when you see them in their garages. Once they really start hitting the streets it's going to make it even harder to wait until next year.
