Sold Out

[Cmar]

Saw this posted (or similar post anyway) over on 6G forum. Ford Australia has sold every new Ranger, Raptor, and Everest wagon imported this year already, off the plan, - without a single car being test driven. Such is this vehicles reputation over here. Toyota must be hopping mad.

Hope it’s not the Bronco model being used to get these orders to customers.

Will also be interesting how 6G rolls out here with the new tooling being introduced.

No we don't yet have a date for the Bronco for Aus, the Everest fills the gap fairly well for the present, it's a pretty popular vehicle, because it's basically just a Ranger 4 door station wagon.

Seeing as most of the rollouts lately have been a disaster I'm expecting the next one to be too. This way if it's not I'll be happy but after almost 2 years waiting for my Bronco I'm not holding my breath.

Honestly I wish the Everest was brought out here to replace the Exploder

I'm trying to wrap my head around the price of the Raptor, geesh!

Keep in mind that's no US dollars. IIRC the US version will start around $53,000 but I'm sure most dealers will be adding on crazy markups. I'd expect to see them in the $75,000 + range. Just look at the crazy prices some are getting for the Bronco.

Ah, good point!

Everest looks much better, is more capable, and is based on the ranger. What more could you want.

But do they make one with 2 doors and a removable roof?

The bronco is based heavily on the ranger as well and is very capable unless you want an engine that works lol

As much as I like the bronco and would happily take one, I still like a solid body on frame suv. Taking off doors and tops seem to be a novelty item. Sadly I will be doing that for my wife's jeep.

Bronco is body on frame you are thinking of the sport which is basically an escape

Oh I know it's body on frame. I guess I just like a roof. Call me an outlier in my opinion. I'd take a new excursion before a new bronco.

Honestly its got more structural rigidity and strength than a regular suv that roll cage is beefed up
