Bronco Build & Price date

[Baron von Bruce]

Way to jinx us... Apple is so far behind Android when it comes to releasing new and exciting things, and since you lumped Ford in there we won't see the B&P until 2025

You don't jinx us. We don't need a Chinese Bronco that collects data and advertises 100MPG but only gets 8 so we can brag about our phony stats to impress girls at the bus stop.

I'm confused, are you knocking Android or Apple? Cuz I thought iPhones were made in China?

BTW Ford did release something today

Ford has revealed how much it will cost to go Mach 1 Mustang
The rebooted high-performance model will start at $52,915 when it hits showrooms next spring.

The automaker chose Oct. 14 for the announcement to mark the anniversary of Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier in 1947.

The order books are now open for the first Mach 1 model in 17 years

Saw this earlier.
So.....what is a significant October date in Bronco History?

I'm just here to watch this off-topic argument about Android vs Apple at this point.

(Also, Android FTW. If you think Apple is superior in any way, just means you're a sucker for their brand/advertising and have become complacent with their products, which is all they want anyway: you keep buying no matter how little they try to innovate or improve)

I believe in Harvey Dent.

I believe in Camry Dent...

Both of those Dents will give you up.

Both of those Dents will let you down.

But I never would!

October 23, 1963. Here is what I found on Ford’s website..


In 1962, Ford began to extensively survey Jeep and International Harvester Scout owners to see what they liked and disliked about their vehicles. These findings were summarized in an internal memo on July 11, 1963 noting that both vehicles had “poor comfort, ride, noise and vibration qualities” and that the size and power of both were also unsatisfactory. These findings, indicating a gap in the market, went to the Product Planning Committee on October, 23, 1963 with the recommendation for “funds for further development of a Ford utility vehicle, code named Bronco.” A fascinating memo a week later had the subject line “1966 G.O.A.T” as it heading. The G.O.A.T. terminology was indicative of the desire to develop a Goes Over All Terrain vehicle while the document itself describes the drivability of the car.

But... October 23rd feels... late October.

If October is broken down into thirds (early, mid, late), it'd be 10.3 days per section. So 1-10, early. 11-20, mid. 21-31, late.

If October 23rd is "the day," they lied to us twice. Haha

Total BS. That's not the middle of the month! It's 74.19% of the way through the month!

Only if your definition of "by" is the one Mark uses would "middle" have a range from 26%-74%.....

Calling this out as fuzzy logic!
