So does that mean in the Fall of 2019? Or does that mean that production starts in late spring of 2020?

My guess is that it will follow the pattern set by the Ranger. We'll see a auto show debut of the Bronco this spring 2019, maybe even January at Detroit, tooling etc with some demo units show up late 2019 (2020 model year); probably fourth quarter with some pre-ordering possible and demo unit driving at auto shows etc.; and full time production and deliver in first quarter 2020.So does that mean in the Fall of 2019?

I hope it doesn't take any longer than that, I honestly don't think my car will survive that long before it explodes. I've started crunching numbers, and have determined I'd be better off buying a disposable car than trying to lease a 4Runner/Ranger/Wrnagler etc. for a year, if my current vehicle does meet an untimely demise.
The more I see about the upcoming Ford vehicles, post sedan-pocalypse, the more I think the Ranger is just practice for the Bronco. The level of effort given to the Ranger for the North American market seems quite minimal, which makes me puzzle about the possibility that the vehicles sharing the T6 platform were given some shared development budget and somewhere along the decision making line the lions share of it went to the Bronco -- which will presumably need more R&D and design etc. anyway, but also opens a more significant market for Ford than another pickup which is literally only a few inches smaller than the F150 (just check out a picture of them side by side).I thought I had seen here several times where they (some Ford press releases, as I recall) referred to the Bronco as a 2020/21 model. This was some time after this whole 6g mess started rolling here (and it had been called a 2020 model from the start). Plus, since day 1 here, "they" have figured up to 2 years from Ranger launch to Bronco launch. At one point, some official statement really caught my attention that led me to believe that it's "2020" release date has been pushed back to the point it would be a 21 model. I wish I could recall exactly what it was, but it was an indirect comment that stuck out to me, like a hint. So, it wouldn't surprise me if it came out for sale some time into 2020 as a 2021 model, or later as an official 21 (fall 20) launch.
