Bronco reveal has officially been delayed until July

[Dirt]

This is definitely the most plausible reason for him leaving. Either someone at Ford told him to get off or he's just being careful now that the reveal is so close. People have been complaining on here for as long as I've been lurking around. I doubt he's leaving now because people are complaining. I'm sure he'll still be lurking around here watching down on us.

Crispy's account may come to a close, but @Administrator is here forever.

They could have done that last month.

I’m a little disappointed to hear that it is now going to be a virtual reveal. I feel like that could have happened any time over the past couple of months since they were presumably ready to go with an actual reveal in March.

I'm not even 1% surprised it became a virtual event. Covid isn't going anywhere in the next year (it has 500k more people to kill in the US alone before we reach herd immunity levels), so it had to be that or lock dozens of "press" personalities up for weeks of isolation.

That doesn't explain why it took four months to put together.

I floated the idea of a 4th of July reveal ... but that was two years ago ...

Still spitballing here: there will be no low end model like Jeep has with the Wrangler Sport. Bronco will start much higher optioned and $$.

We've known that for like 6'ish months at least, haven't we? Low end Bronco would be significantly more expensive than the base Wrangler.

You weapons grade whiners ran off the most useful member of this forum.

How is it our fault when he says "I'm picking up my ball and leaving". Makes you wonder who's whining now? People are entitled to their frustrations, what the hell else is a forum for? To talk about whatever... be it good or bad.

Pretty sure a lot of yotas have actual lockers in the rear from the factory. I'm curious what he's referring to tho ?

A rear locker is not a factory option on the Tundra, I just traded one in for a Power Wagon

Early July makes sense. Firstly, a July 4th-ish reveal would be epic, but also an early July reveal would allow for a few weeks from now to prepare the virtual reveal (logistics, filming, graphics, voiceovers, et cetera).

The only things that could steal any of the Bronco’s thunder for 2021 MY wrangler:

1. 35’s stock and updated gearing (not unlikely tbh but more likely will be a 2022 MY)

2. They finally show the I6 turbo engine that’s been rumored. Zero chance this happens anytime before 2023 MY IMO

3. Full electric option. Based on the plug in hybrid being a 2022 MY from what I understand full electric is still at least 2-3 years off.

4. New hardtop option, I don’t see this without a full redesign so at least 7-8 years away.

none of this is going to happen. We already know this. The only thing that will be a good selling point is the bronco get better gas mileage as well as some small cool stuff like side mirror locations, and removable roll bars.

other then that, nothing. Me personally, the gas mileage might be good enough for me based on how it finally looks.

Understand all that. Just saying, I've signed up for updates with Ford multiple times, yet they don't provide any. Their marketing effort on this whole thing just seems to be...lacking.

I signed up also, but never expected any updates until after the reveal. Sometime after that, I'd expect to get email or a brochure in the mail.

Yeah, I guess I was thinking on a more extreme scale. Ie, Bronco won’t have a comparable model to the Wrangler Sport and they’ll only be making higher models. No budget stripper model available.

Does anyone remember seeing ChrispyKC post about “#37 Joe Delaney was one hell of a Chief”

It was quite random and was of context in the thread it was posted in.

Another member found that Joe passed away on June 29. Apparently he was trying to save two drowning children and died trying to.

I wonder if June 29 posses another significant date within Ford’s reveal timeline?

Also, if the reveal is next month will we be seeing broncos with less camo anytime soon?

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT!
Then he said “this is my 37th post in this thread” could be mean 37 days from yesterday ??? Friday July 10

Nope. Nothing in this area anyway. They have Crawl Control and Terrain Management, which is great. But it's not a locker.

That's it... I'm asking Q.

Might as well try to decipher the Bible Code. It would make about as much sense as that garbage.

I recall the 37 as well. He also randomly said “I’ve said this 37 times” in a recent thread.

? interesting. When ChrispyKC tries to drop information regarding the truck’s capabilities and features it’s more or less obvious. This one is quite cryptic. I wonder if Ford is keeping a close eye on what and who is posting leading up to the reveal.

I feel likes it’s from a scene when a hero is about to die and whispers a clue or words of wisdom before their last breath. Kinda like the little Alien in MIB 1 in the old man’s head.
