Agreed on the accessories vs. core parts. In the industry concept vehicles typically have one purpose and that is to show off elements and get consumer feedback on the ones they like and dislike... which then turns into production. One thing that could separate Ford from others and the...

Doesn't the chart also say Carb Gray on Transit arriving mid Aug? So shouldn't those already be around?

A truck concept makes sense as on the gas area, there are stamps of a 2-Door, 4-Door and truck version of the Bronco, also if you have been listening to the Bring Back My Bronco podcast, one episode talked of the Bronco Underground group within Ford that on their spare time built a business case...

No worries my friend. Don't think you're dense. I do love a good passionate exchange... as long as it stays above the line and doesn't degrade like the 1st presidential "debate". Definitely would be interesting to see an economy completely free of government intervention... my guess is private...

My last comment on this as I will agree that we are interpreting the loan in two completely different ways. The loan to upgrade facilities was not a bailout for a failing Company. Ford would not have went bankrupt and out of business if they did not take that loan. As another poster mentioned...

As mentioned in an earlier post... there are 2 different things going here... The TARP money back in 2008 to keep GM and Chrysler from going belly up... Ford did not take any of that money from the US government... they mortgaged all assets and got the money to fund from private sources. The...

No Fed Money given to Ford as a part of the bailout given to GM and Chrysler... All money financed as part of the biggest home equity loan at that time, 2008 per your original comment... paid back.

Ford did not take any government bailout money in 2008... but rather leverage every single asset, including the Blue Oval... aka the largest "home equity loan ever", to weather the storm.

"...how will we know which dealer can get us our bronco faster?" Good question... just by reading the forums and what has been communicated to dealers... my GUESS is a key part of the production equation is dealer allocation and trim level... and what seems to be a lesser factor is reservation...

Totally get it... this is where Dealership integrity and trust comes in... and all my car buying experiences at different dealerships, different OEMs are the same... they will mark up when they can and as much as they can. Only thing we as consumers can do is shop our dealers to find one that...

Honestly I think all the delays you mentioned are valid, but in the big picture for me have zero impact on my decision to buy nor does it put pressure on my ordering. The only thing that might concern me is the allocation... and might get me to switch dealers to potentially get my ride...

So I find the fact of Ford not offering X-Plan the reason for people dropping out as a meh point. I really don't think the X-Plan would have been a major savings. As I and another poster mentioned earlier... Bronco Sport X-Plan savings range from $200-$950-ish on the different models... and I...

Can you imagine the negativity if there weren't delays in B&P and it didn't have all the accessories or options or if it didn't perform well? I think a meltdown would have ensued! I would rather have the minor delays to get things done right the best they can than be pre mature and crappy...

Got to "love" the negativity! Personally don't see how the rollout can be called a "shit show". COVID made everyone in the world completely change their plans/way of life for the last 8 months. The Bronco rollout is no exception to this. Do any of us know what Ford's launch plans were prior to...

Has anyone been listening to the Bring Back My Bronco podcast? It is pretty good. More importantly, I wonder if there is any syncing of the release of the episodes to other Bronco releases? Example the next episode releasing on Oct. 19th is "Green Light"... is this going to be the day for...

Surprise and delight... I have a feeling this will be the case too. B&P should be any day now as today is pretty much mid October, right? Also, someone in another thread had a "reliable source" that it was launching Oct. 13th... unfortunately not so reliable. Hoping it will still be this week!

My thoughts exactly, but instead of WT, I might drop to OB as more of the tech stuff is standard. Also from another thread, it was mentioned that all trim levels will have drain plugs, just not rubber floors. If only we knew the cost of said options/configs... wish there was some kind of...

I am digging the marine grade vinyl... but was it in the other Andy video that the rep mentioned you cannot get power seats with marine grade vinyl due to the electronics? This would suck for me as I am 6'5" and every vehicle I have owned I need to put the seat down as far as it can go to get my...

For me it is all about the tech... and specifically the 12" screen. OB was the initial thought because starting with the Mid and going to High or Lux wouldn't be a "major" jump, not to mention auto trans was standard. Then switched to BL due to the better off road capabilities that come...

I am new to vinyl wraps and am curious about them, so I was looking at 3Ms 2080 Series Vinyl Wraps and was surprised on the number of options. I have been told the wraps are great quality these days and a much cheaper option than repainting. Thinking it could also be a more economical way of...
