Bronco fatigue

[Raptor911]

agreed. There has NEVER been this much info about a vehicle that is not yet for sale.

I suspect the road show across America at dealerships to show off the Bronco is to appease reservation holders as they wait for their Broncos.

I was watching some video where a Bronco driver in Moab said this is the most expensive vehicle launch for Ford ever.

The first time I texted my dad about a new Bronco was in 2017, I was talking about it on forums in 2018 (that I know of for sure, I’m sure i talked about it earlier)

Another few months is hardly even a blip.

Exactly the same. Getting to see one made more excited, but also knowing that we are making progress.

Very similar. I was scrolling the website since '16 18 looking for information (I think I actually started posting in '17 '19 though). No bronco fatigue yet

ETA: I got my years WAY wrong

I’m not surprised. With the death of sedans and sports cars Ford needs something to pick up the slack for enthusiasts and Bronco is just the ticket.

Dang I was talking up a Bronco return oceans of time ago, back in 2004 when the concept model appeared:

I was only 9 when this concept debuted, but I’m pretty sure I remember seeing it on the MSN Home Screen in computer lab. That may be a total fabrication of my imagination but I’ve always liked Broncos and I know I used to want this concept to come back.

Here Here! I've been anticipating it since they announced it in 04 as well

Thank goodness that awful spawn of Megatron didn’t make it far. Glad they got it right in the end, unlike that guy’s suit.

I actually like the 2004 concept. It’s 100% a product of its time. Compare it to the 5th gen mustang and you’ll see what I mean.

At least it got back thinking about the original 1st gen form factor vs the full size later Broncos.

I hit a wall myself. But I found that after placing my order (with @DealerInsider!), I've entered a zen state where I feel good about the wait. I'm not enjoying it... but it's not making me crazy anymore.

Fair enough good sir. I guess I should cut concepts a little slack...my project concepts around the house are rarely for public consumption.

Personally I’ve gone past the point of fatigue with this and I bought myself a bike to wrench on for the summer to keep myself distracted.

I’m over the wait as well. At this point I’m not even impatient anymore, it’ll get here when it gets here. Paring down my time on this site has actually helped with the wait. For me there’s really nothing more to learn about this vehicle, and being bummed all summer that I’m not going to have my Bronco until winter isn’t a constructive use of time.

I'm sure Ford can empathize with your deprivation. First the UAW spills the beans on a new model a year ahead of your intended PR release, then a global pandemic that halts the assembly of your production line (not to mention the work stoppages of the third-party OEM parts providers) spoils your schedule. Millions of dollars lost, and additional millions in unpredictable cost overruns. Go on record as suspending dividends from your stock. Meanwhile, whiny Internet critics piss and moan about the color options, drink holders, and their perceived ill-timing/naming/capabilities of an otherwise unrelated vehicle in the product line.

I can see how that pales in comparison to not being able to Uber to the dealer and come home a couple hours later with a new $40-$60+k vehicle. It's like they methodically planned everything just to torture us, get us angry with them for not providing our new toy on schedule in the face of unprecedented conditions. It's probably a marketing trick to drive up demand. Or, their pension fund is secretly invested in Fiat and they want to piss everyone off to drive them to buying Wranglers and spike Fiat stock.

The local Honda dealer here has a bunch of CR-V's in stock - if anyone wants me to drop by there and reserve one in their name, let me know. They even have them in green, and with top options galore.

I get to see a real Bronco for the first time on Wed this week. I'll drive my JKUR there. The thought of dumping a proven vehicle with tons of parts out there and a solid resale and aftermarket for one with nothing but promise is really going against my brain.
I would feel better if it just had one year of Successful assembly line production with a lack of recalls and failure.

My brother-in-law is waiting for a Rivian. There's some real fatigue!
