I voted no because they are WAY WAY overpriced in canada. The Squatch package is 7000 dollars. No thanks. I can buy a rubicon, add the best Teraflex or AEV suspension to that, plus tires and still have almost 2000 in the bank for other things. 77k plus tax for a black diamond edition with hard top, and squatch package here.....NOPE.
I am a ford person too. I drive jeeps because ford had nothing to this point like it. I was willing to take a hit and move me to a new bronco FS and the wife into a sport, but at the prices here. NO THANK YOU.

They are over priced once you get above first two trim levels. Honestly I think a base model Ranger FX4 package is the best deal going now for a overland vehicle. I ma curious to what Hyundai and Kia come up with on their new pickup truck. Nissan titan base was a good deal but Nissan just raised the prices and got rid of the incentives.

Correction....it's all YOU really need, Not us. Hence the reason I say it's way overpriced for what I want in a rig now.

Anyone waiting for the new Broc (non sport), will have to wait alot longer. It's now delayed until at least july 2021. They might have well called it the 2022 bronco at that point.
Please, please, please God, blast some sense into the heads of those at Chevy and make them bring back a Blazer to be proud of. What a waste that the 50th anniversary of the Blazer was marked with a Nissan Murano-esque ride.
I digress...
I like what they did with the new Bronco a lot. Knocked it out of the park. I understand the Bronco Sport but it's not for me. If they were gonna go that route, I wish they would have gone one step further and made one more variant on the f150 platform. Call it the Bronco XLT or something.
But my money would probably go to the Toyota 4Runner route. Excellent quality, excellent reliability and its everything a new Blazer should be
The Bronco "Family" Covers allot of demographics Ford wants to target. The 4-door big bronco competes with several jeep models but also Toyota and Nissan trucks. The two door competes against Jeep Wrangler and some LandRover & RangeRover models. The Baby Bronco Sport covers the highly profitable crossover market of Rav4 and CRV and the Korean cousins, but also competes with Jeep Renegade and Compass to some extent The BandLands Sport competes with Cherokee, VW, Hyundai/KIA Performance Models. So that is allot of very important market share for ford now that they dont sell cars in NorthAmerica anymore. RAV4 is the number one selling vehicle in the USA and there are multiple models including a hybrid. Even though the Badlands is overpriced because you cant get a base no options version at dealers. Ford priced and specs these vehicles to try to compete in those markets successfully. I don't think the value is there for anything above the first two trim levels of either mode Bronco. Even those lower trims leave out options that should be standard on all vehicles at those price points. Now that I have driven one and know full well about Fords build quality issues and failure to cover warranty work I cant see owning one.

Where did you see this? My wife has a Big Bend 4 door reserved and has heard nothing yet, so I’ve been guessing the demand was much higher than anticipated.

The automotive sites are reporting on this now. It's going to be late June, early July before show room floors get them.

Even on Ford’s build website it says that some people who have already put deposits down on a Bronco will not see them until 2022....
The factory stamped skid plates on my Super Duty are holding up fine. So I wouldn't underestimate them. I'd just add the OEM versions that you're missing for now.
Really no point in tuning up Rangers and Broncos. Still a slow 4x4. Let the Mustang guys blow up their rides. I quit building up my Mustang years ago. It's perfectly tough as is, I don't need to out drag perfectly new Porsche 911's with it. You have to draw the line somewhere, or go broke. Overlanding is an easy line. Reliability>power.

I dont own a toyder or a jeep but I wouldnt mind adding the bronco to the collection. Ide keep the silverado and let my wife drive the bronco.

The stamped ones on your F250 are MUCH beefier than the tinfoil that comes on cross overs. I am replacing mine on the pat with the skids from the FDII version. They are actual skid plates compared to the ones that are on it now.

I would have gladly swapped my JK for a new 4 Door, but 7995 for a mini lift, 35s and some lockers, is outrageous.
