I also wonder if maybe they are doing this to test the various paint colors and paint process to the elements. Missed areas, paint performance etc.
Looks like they have all of the colors now they let them sit there and monitor weld spots, grind areas, undercoated areas.
I'm still hoping for a white top option (why not, they are making the Oxford white bronco already with matching color top option) and if so, then the fender flares will be coming off and being painted oxford white.
Getting this Bronco now. I've been saving the planet for the past 6 years driving a couple of Focii. Now I'm going to enjoy ripping the planet up a little.
In a few years, when the hybrid Bronco has been out for a year or so, I'll consider the hybrid.
Not surprising...because there's nothing new. Their build and price is already created for them and it hasn't changed in years.
wow....an electric assist gas engine that can go 16 miles when full electric and when full charged I'm sure....lame.
I bet they tack on an extra $20K for the option.
While I think the 4 door is more practical and better proportioned than the 2 door I still have a soft spot for my 88 Bronco II and damn, that 2 door sure does remind me of it.
This?
The new Bronco is basically a lego vehicle. Ford has said it themselves. The build and price tool needs to handle all of the Bronco trims PLUS all of attachments and packages.
The packages are easy but what about the mounting rail on the dash? Is that only on certain trims? I suspect it...
They are most likely to be a rectangular tube. I had some real tubes on my 97 explorer and they looked better.
As for the 18 inch rims, I actually like the look of the rims themselves and they leave me the option of going with a larger tire down the road. A casual lift kit and I think it would...

Always been a ford man even though i lost my way for several years.
I drive close...
I'm thinking Monday or Tuesday.
Why, you may ask?
Well, Monday is the last day of August and we were told it would be out before September.
ALSO, they sent the survey out this past Tuesday and that will have been one week until September 1st.
That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
Getting the obx and will be sharing it with my wife mostly because I have a 40 mile commute (one way). She's almost as excited about the Bronco as I am.
Off days will be with my Focus or Ryker.
On weekends it's all mine.
