Who wants a Bronco refresh?

Go big or go home. F250/Excursion based. With solid axles front and rear.

That is freaking awesome.

Square fenders on all trims, square headlight openings with round lights, flush tailights, new roof options, improved materials on the inside, more tech and safety features and a PHEV are all coming. Most of the body panels will remain until about 2029.

How do you confidently know this?

I sure hope Aug 1/2 the give us some hints.

Why August?

Not bringing it up to be political, but since the BBB defanged CAFE, we need a V8 now combo'd with a stick at this point.

I also want MyColor gauges, ambient lighting and cup holders like the Mustang/F150 have, and we could use more seat color options. Also a real handbrake and a factory soft top for the 2dr instead of @Bestop_Team teasing us all the time by pretending to listen only to ignore our requests for a square top that folds all the way back

Not ignoring you @CarmeloS, patience friend You'll thank me later!

Why August?

August is the 60th anniversary event or whatever in silver lake. It will likely be when the 2026 is revealed as well....or at least I hope so.

As far as a redesign, utimately I prefer they just keep exterior as is and do refinements on things vs doing a redesign. I think the exterior design is pretty well done, my opinion.

Mostly Tequila but I can break it down

Squared fenders = seem to be customer demand influenced. Production ramps up on squared fenders, production will phase out the round fenders
Squared headlights opening with round headlights = Ford Family Resemblance. Plus Ford doesn’t want the Bronco looking like Amazon delivery trucks and the new cheap Slate vehicles
New roof options = lots of complaints, competition is doing it better, and natural product lifecycle evolution
More tech and safety = what new version of any vehicle doesn’t come standard with more tech and “safety”
PHEV = Competitors success, gas mileage complaints and the tech already exists, just needs to be implemented into the Bronco.

I like the Scout’s harvenger thing. But I hope they give us both the PHEV and V8. Lets cross our fingers for August.

Ford, whatever you do for a refresh, DO NOT go to all touchscreen for HVAC and audio like you have on for too many products (including the '25 Escape I bought the wife in March).

Unless you don't want me as a buyer....

Yea but an expedition isn’t offroad tailored / capable like a Bronco.

Kinda, last gen of the Expy they had the FX4 package and a rear locker offered. I don't think that carried over to the 2025+ refresh however.

The wrangler does well with a 10 year refresh. If Ford comes out with a new bronco every 5 years you will never get as good aftermarket support.

Another reason I am hoping the refresh gets put off as long as possible.

The top one hit the showrooms in 2003:

 

[Rivers90]

1) Cooled seats like in the Premium Mustangs.
2) Relocate the headlight switch away from knees.
3) Provide a center console located, manual parking brake lever on manually equipped Bronco's.
4) Remove the worthless phone charging pad's.
5) Add USB-C port to the overhead near the Aux switches.

2) Relocate the headlight switch away from knees.
LOL Yes!
Can someone make a file to 3d print a cover so I don't keep turning the lights on as I get in or out?

I have moved the seat back more and it helps with hitting the light switch but I still wish the location was different for the switch.
