Thanks, Sean. I updated the first post with the info. But the August 19th date for Pittsburgh still has no details. Has that been cancelled?next stops.
Not cancelled. Location TBD still. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s posted.
I thought the woh handle on the console being "leather" wrapped was a funny touch...So I went out to see this thing today in sunny AZ. Despite the over-bearing heat, this thing was actually very impressive and looked great. Sadly, host was not prepared to show me engine. He indicated this "show-model" DID NOT have the big-boy engine. Told the stay-bar will also not be featured despite dash button for it being present. I thought Raptor roll bar was cool and the OEM front mud flaps. But interior was pretty sick! Wife said she wants one. Open sales begins this OCT. Starting at $75K... I'll probably hold out for the solar-powered, 1000 chigawatt, Doc-Brown trim model... what you guys think?
SBD being "not featured" makes sense as it is now optional on the Badlands. Might end up being an option and not standard.So I went out to see this thing today in sunny AZ.

Yes, that is my fat, enormous cellulite leg in the photo, but I quickly sat in seat to look around, engine off at the time. All in all, I felt this is not a gimmick trim model from FORD. This model seems very genuine in its attempt to hit that semi- "luxury" style that many Bronc enthusiasts may be after. I don't think this will have purchase drive that the Bronc Raps have, but it is a very decent attempt at something new.
Same. I really like everything about it, except the door count unfortunatelyI’m not in the market for a 4-door, but this truck is appealing. I like the engine, the seats, the door pockets replacing the useless nets, the wheels, and the FE copper color. I‘m even beginning to like its version of the modular grille introduced on the 60th anniversary edition. Maybe Ford will do more modular grille variations with new inserts.
C'mon @Ducati1098 don't be a body shamer! All Broncs are born fully capable of being loved....2DR/4DR doesn't matter. They all have inner potential to strive and overcome diversity. You're better than that amigo!
What is wrong with preferring the 2dr? I think the 4drs look fine but I'm not gonna buy one over a 2dr. No shame intended, it's just a preference.
I agree. It has some nice features to differentiate it from the pack and it does feel a bit more refined inside, but it is still undeniably a Bronco. I wonder there is any additional sound deadening materials/improvements. Cabin noise seems to be an issue for some, particularly those that have no interest in removing the roof.
This version (show- model) had a raw, commando interior roof. No sound deadening material whatsoever on board. It was NOT the final product, I could tell.
Yeah, I saw that same truck in Seattle. It's not in final production form. I've been running with my roof off the last week or so and the absence of all the squeaks and rattles I've accumulated (many of them are self inflicted) is nice. I wonder if they will try to mitigate some of that and the wind noise for a "premium" Bronco.
No shame here, just a personal preference
