Since it may be until 2022, I may start considering the 6th gen 4runner when it comes out.
Probably same price. 4runner better have a fun powertrain.

Why do we even need dealers, on a slight tangent? Why not do an internet launch like they did, put the full order bank up, then you just order and someone delivers it to your house? That seems perfect in a post COVID world. Should reduce all the hassle and delays.

F150 is made in 2 Factories
Dearborn with 10m ft2 and 4500 employees
Kansas City with 4.7m ft2 and 7000 employee (kc almost makes the Transit so half that then)

so a total of roughly 13 million ft2 and 7000 employees for JUST the f150 vs

5 million ft2 And 3200 employees to build the ranger AND bronco.
So simple math maybe 40% of what they can produce of the F150 (About the average using employee differences and square footage) says they can produce about 400K then (Ranger and Bronco combined). So they produced what 83K rangers in 2019 so that leaves space for over 300K Broncos. Would that make sense?!

I guess they thought they’d sell more Bronco Sport. Not sure why higher demand for the 2 and 4 door would push back begin ship date by two months ?
With this much demand one would think Ford would move heaven and earth to advance the delivery dates rather than push it back. if I ran a company that was 155 billion dollars in debt I would want to cash in ASAP on the demand for a new product.

You understand where Ford gets their money from right?

How much of this is due to covid vs overlooking logistical items like adding larger brakes to broncos with the sasquatch package? Either way it gives me time to decide what i want to do with my wrangler assuming this also doesn't mean a push back on more info and possible magazine tests.

And the Rivian. Maybe even the Cybertruck at this rate.
I’d take the Rivian suv over Rivian truck.
