2021 FORD BRONCO WILL REPORTEDLY GET A REMOVABLE TOP AND DOORS
Tons of details on the new Bronco have trickled out courtesy of a dealer meeting
FORD BRONCO SUV/CROSSOVER NEWS
  • Ed Tahaney Photos: Avarvarii March 25, 2019
    The Ford Bronco is finally coming back next year to enter the (relatively) affordable off-road SUV space largely dominated by Jeep's Wrangler, and it will headline an eventual family of off-roaders that will include two- and four-door Broncos, a front-drive-based baby Bronco, and—as we reported last summer—a small unibody pickup. The latter two will be revealed soon enough, but for now here's what we know about Ford's reborn SUV icon:



    TWO- AND FOUR-DOOR VERSIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE, AS WILL REAR- AND FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE


    According to Automotive News, FoMoCo revealed a two-door Bronco prototype at a shindig last month for top dealers in Palm Beach, Florida, and confirmed to its franchisees that a four-door model is coming, too. The dealers also saw the so-called "baby Bronco" and Ford's Mustang-inspired EV crossover that will offer 300 miles of range.

THE GRILLE SAYS "BRONCO" ACROSS THE FRONT


This follows Ford's practice of giving its trucks and SUVs bold grilles; the Raptor, for example, features a huge "FORD" across its front end.



THE DOORS AND HARD TOP WILL BE REMOVABLE


Following in the path of the Wrangler—which has offered these features for years—and other old-school off-roaders, the new Bronco will be customizable with the doors and top able to be stashed in the cargo hold. Unlike the Jeep, its side mirrors are affixed to the A-pillars and stay in place when the doors are removed.



THERE WILL BE A SPARE TIRE ON THE BACK


No "tire mobility kit" or dinky donut here.



THE BRONCO WILL SHARE A PLATFORM WITH THE NEXT-GENERATION RANGER


Ford will also build the Bronco alongside the midsize pickup at its Michigan Assembly plant.



THE SUV HAS RETRO BOXY STYLING


Like the Broncos of yore—think 1965, not 1996—the new version sports a rectangular grille, round headlights, and a squared-off profile.



IT MAY OFFER A 2.7-LITER ECOBOOST V-6 AS THE TOP-SPEC ENGINE

The V-6 delivers 325 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque in the F-150. There is likely to be a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder option offered as well.

FORD MIGHT OFFER A SEVEN-SPEED MANUAL



There will of course be an automatic transmission, almost assuredly the 10-speed unit co-developed with GM. But some reports suggest Ford has tapped Getrag to supply a seven-speed manual. Fingers crossed!

There will definitely be a hybrid version. Ford has already gone on record that the Bronco will be electrified in some way, and we'd expect some version of the system that will be available in the new Explorer.



EXPECT PRICES TO START IN THE MID-$30,000S


We will know more as we get closer to the Bronco's official debut.



IT GOES ON SALE IN LATE 2020


That's a few months after the baby Bronco.

Sorry I hurt your feelings. :crying:

I owned one. A two tone red 84 bullnose. It was a lot of fun, but it got dreadful fuel mileage, so as a college student I needed something more economical. It got traded off and turned into someones plow truck. In some ways I regret getting rid of it (especially since I really hated the car I had after that), but the same can be said for a few other vehicles I've had. Today, I'd much rather have something smaller and more maneuverable -- more in line with the small displacement off roaders I have been riding since I was 4, dirtbikes, atvs, a VW dunebuggy, and recently side-by-sides. The older I get the less I want to wrestle with the vehicle.

I could probably find pictures, but you're so butthurt you wouldn't believe it anyway. :curse:
