Bronco White Tops, Multiple Vinyl Interior Colors & More Confirmed at Ford Employee Event

[Ripcurl]

the 20-footer comment was from the rep and referring too the vehicle is supposed to look great from 20 feet not as refined once you get on top of it.

Thats not a 20 footer, its 25

Depending upon where the camera location is in the grill it still may not be a game-ender. A lot of winches on the market (including Warn) have relocatable control packs/solenoids (the big part sticking up on the featured Warn winch). Whether moving that out of the way provides enough clearance not to block the camera remains unknown.

I hate to spend more money on a steel front bumper, but my hope is there will be some aftermarket steel bumpers whete we can mount a winch inside!

Funny....I've met a lot of women like that & just didn't know what to call them

Without the same grill as on the reveal 4-door the white top wont have the same effect.

Heck y’all we don’t white tops we can all drive down and just get all our rides Kevlar painted!! We can line them up at Starwood Customs??? Just kidding I can barely afford a Bandlands let alone Kevlar paint!

****UPDATE****

So after attending here is my recap...

Vehicles on display: 2 Bronco Sport Badlands (one Rapid Red and one Cyber Orange), the Catcus Gray 4 door Bronco "20 footer", a black 2 Door Badlands trail equipped concept from earlier event, and the Rapid Red Outbanks 4 door fishing concept.

The vehicles there were nothing new and nothing anyone hasn't seen, so no major updates. Pics from the Employee Round Up thread are representative and better than mine as I realized I did not take that many. The Cactus Gray and 2 Door Badlands were sasquatch packages, the Rapid Red fishing concept was Outer Banks, and the two Bronco Sports were Badlands.

As I expected the majority of the people working the event did not have deep knowledge, just basic info and there to direct people. There were a couple guys there with deeper knowledge but their time was limited with our group.

And no Jerry can paint swatches

Some takeaways and answers... all info is per the reps onsite

1. Overall size, height of sasquatched Broncos is not bad. Being 6'5" it shouldn't be an issue getting in. The height of the Outbanks fishing concept was shorter than expected, kind of surprised me. I would say getting in and out would not be vastly different than say an Explorer.

2. Marine grade vinyl will come with a "few color options"

3. Trims starting at the Outerbanks and above level will have floor plugs, just under the carpet if you don't get rubber floors.

4. Trail control will allow you to set "cruise" between 3-20 mph so you can watch other areas of vehicle while on the trail... so you don't have to focus on looking out the windshield

5. Trial cam recording... probably not going to be available onboard, suggestion was use a GoPro

6. General location of front trail cam (couldn't confirm where exactly) appears it would be covered by the winch they had on the black 2 door

7. Per one of the knowledgeable reps... white door handles will not be an option... but he did say painted white hard top will be an option, I even clarified 2 times

8. Per same rep from #7... this one I found interesting... he said wherever there is a screw stamped with "Bronco", that location was built with the intent to accommodate accessories/aftermarket pieces.

Other than those things, nothing really new... I had limited time and realized when my group was done I hadn't asked more questions or took more pics... I think I was too excited to finally see them in person.

Overall all of them will be great vehicles and we all will have a great time customizing and making them our own!

Interesting but you can go to the colorizer on Ford.com and pick oxford white and it shows white door handles. Maybe only with this one Bronco..but I will be ordering those handles from parts and getting cactus grey white top and hopefully white interior trim.

Ford has a potential home-run product launch with the Bronco.

Ford has the opportunity to 're-make' product offering decisions and will continue to be able to do so prior throughout the product life-cycle.

If a white door handles and hood tie-downs are not an option; I suspect an enterprising product manager will look to add that to the 200+ accessories.

Ford's is in business of making money and continues to migrate from selling cars and trucks to selling a lifestyle which includes accessories (following the Harley-Davidson lifestyle approach).

And dealer-installed accessories can be financed...protect your wallets my friends. Ford's coming for it!

Yeah. Outer Banks comes with color matched fenders, mirrors, and door handles... and is available in every color.

Door handles ordered through parts always come primed. The body shop paints them per vehicle VIN.

Fenders would be easy to paint

White Fenders will at least be available from Ford Accessories and I'm sure the aftermarket will be all over it.

Thank you! Yes to the white top!!!

 

[fltechpilot]

I was all on board the white top train initially but I've had second thoughts about having a painted hard top. The MIC is appealing to me because I don't have to worry about scratching a paint coat when loading/unloading a roof rack. I'm not the biggest fan of the choice of gray for the MIC top though....Maybe go standard MIC and then LineX ultra it white. So many decisions!

 

[Anthraces]

Thanks!!! (2), (3) and (7) ... Nice work! There is literally an entire thread on (2) alone you just helped solve! @Administrator , should you promote

now there will be multiple threads analyzing if a “Few” means 2 or 3 options in vinyl and what colors they might be. I am hoping for the white/grey that is in the CG.
Also, super happy the white tip will be available. I think this rowdy crowd would rise up and revolt

now if only we can get them to offer MT in the 2.7!!!!!
