2021 Bronco Build & Price pre-launch waiting room

[Carolina Jim]

I think what we're seeing with B&P are 'pictures of the future'. Consider:

• big company with poor recent financial performance
• departure of a failed CEO
• new product launch
• many financial prognosticators questioning Ford's future
• external bankers with a ton of risk on the line
• very uncertain national economy
• Ford employees viewing keeping their job as Priorities #1, #2, and #3

Personally, I think each and every step will be a slog thru deep mud.

How many more pages will we hit before it actually launches? 125? 150? 175? 200? 200+?

2020

Nah, not a badass, I just don't like people.

What does that tell you?

It tells me that you are either an engineer or you are in I-T?

Ford Summer Sales Event runs to 9/7/2020.
I'm thinking that when the FSS event ends, the B&P will be available for the Bronco. Making wild guesses because that's all we can do till it happens.

I thought it ended yesterday

Don't forget the federal investigation Ford is under with the recent union scandal: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/27/for...investigation-regarding-union-corruption.html

To be honest, this whole thing has been pretty disheartening and has really made me disappointed in Ford. It really makes me wonder if they're going to be able to deliver a finished product by June.

Just extend the deadline for switching dealers so we can price our builds with different dealers. We, the buyer, have a deadline and it's around the corner.

You're going to have weeks, if not an entire month to do your build then make decisions to switch. I would rather have a complete BnP than some half hearted 2021 F150 nonsense.

If your boss said " you better be here by 8" would you be walking in at 8:59?

Words can have different meanings depending on the context in which they are said. Yes in your example, you better believe I am walking in at 7:55.

However, in the context of Mike’s statement on Twitter, he meant they were trying to get B&P done in August, but if not, it’s definitely coming out sometime in September. That is how I understood him to mean it when he wrote it, so therefore I am not surprised/overly disappointed like so many here seem to be that B&P is not live yet.

Not quite an engineer, but deal with shop drawings and design all the time. I-T? Might as well be, I'm always having to fix other's pc's.

So I give you credit, pretty damn close with that guess.

Maybe I wasn't paying that close attention, but is this new on the Bronco homepage? Don't remember seeing it before. Oh well, I'm sure this thread will give me all the updates I need .

Right? We can't forget that the Bronco is not just for Ford fans...it's also a product to attract people away from Jeep (and sometimes Toyota). It looks bad for the brand when you get people excited and then ask people to hand over their money without knowing exactly what for.

TBH, I went and looked at a Jeep on the local lot this past Friday. I thought to myself...better wait until Ford comes out with the B&P and finalizes pricing on Tuesday so I can compare the two. Now that another promise date has blown by, I may go back and test drive the Jeep.

by 8:01 =/= by September
by 8:01 = by September 1st

I really don’t care about this that much, but I couldn’t help myself; those posts were driving me bonkers.
It’s okay to disagree with me, but you’re wrong.

I disagree with you and am NOT wrong. The 8th month is August, so neither of your examples are correct. ?

Yikes, that 2021 B&P was a swing and a miss. The fact that they can botch the B&P on their money printer makes me even less hopeful for the Bronco.

Makes me think, could we potentially be waiting for Broncos until December 2022?

Or perhaps, they realize how much is riding on a successful launch of the Bronco and they are making sure they get it 100% right. Testing and re-testing their B&P to make sure they get it right.
