Hey guys … anyone else think the Bronco is going a little extreme with about 15 new (exaggerations) models?

I feel every day I’m hearing about a new version coming out. Since 2021 when they released .. they had 5-6 models. Then this year they are releasing somewhere between another 3-4 models.

It’s getting exhausting… and why? There is no need for this many sub models to a certain model. Foot down … hate this. Makes it seem super cheap, in my opinion.

Anyone else !? ??

They’re just taking a page out of Chrysler/Fiat/Stalantis playbook. Lost count of how many different challengers and different wranglers there are.

Yes! Seeing as they can't even produce the 6-7 models they originally had. Now as of March 7th they're no longer taking orders on '22's except for the Raptor version. :crazy:

Yeah, it's a bit much but they're modeling it after Jeep and how they do Wrangler - 11 models.
Absolutely.. and let’s be honest .. this isn’t a Jeep, this is a bring back of an American heritage model. And I feel like they are completely ruining it … completely.

Imagine that .. right ? Then I’ve heard about 3 different models of Raptor versions, Wildlands, BackTrak, First Edition.. new engines.

it’s sad .. it was something I totally wanted at one time, now I feel the estranged way FORD doing this makes it feel less unique.

I agree, even the Ranger models if you can't fill orders and keep the dealers moderately stocked with existing vehicles then stop teasing with new stuff. Sends a mixed message tease that they can evolve and make new stuff but alas we can't supply current stock or parts. Stick to something you can back up and produce given the current climate.

They (Ford) took the fun right out of this launch for me. I knew I wouldn't get a 2021 with my 10/14/20 reservation but now I'm told it will be sometime mid-late 2024. That's why I went out and bought my Jeep. Heck I might not be able to drive anymore by the time my order number is up. ?

Im over it. I waited years for the Bronco to come out. I finally gave up waiting and bought the first Ranger off the lot. Now Ive grown to not even like the wrangler in new clothes. What i really wanted was an f150 bronco, not this.

Go ahead and flame me, but I am not a fan of the new Bronco at all. Looks like they copied many shapes of several models of the Range Rover.
And probably 95% of buyers will never take them and use them as intended. They will be status symbols and primary use will be to run out and pick up beer and pizza.
Of course, there will always be those who will gladly pay over a hundred grand via an auction just to own one, but will loose 2/3 of that value when production catches up with demand around 2025, which by that time it will be due for a make-over, thus lowering the values even more.

I saw a Bronco on my way to work today, had really small basic steel wheels on it, I had to do a double take cause it looked so strange without big tires. Maybe it was a winter set or something.

The Base and Black Diamond models come stock with steel wheels. Supposed to be a retro look.

I had one ordered which I have since 99'd do to all the issues they were having and their inability to fill orders in a timely manner. I have since ordered a Tremor. Maybe I'll pull the Bronco off 99 status in a couple years when you can actually get what you want when you want it.

Hey Mack,

XL, XLT, STX, Sport, Lariat, Tremor, FX4, FX2, SuperCab, SuperCrew, Roush……..

And I hear there’s a Raptor version coming.

That’s twelve Rangers from Ford dealers and I’ve likely missed some.

Just sayin’ ?
