That would still leave months of production before dealers got anything they could just slap a sticker on and put on sale. The US market for a dedicated 4x4 platform with removable doors and top is 200k vehicles a year. Ford probably only needs 20% of that market for the Bronco to be profitable. I think they may well exceed that given just how dated the Bronco makes the Wrangler look even before the complete outclassing in tech.I'd be surprised if more than 40-50% of initial reservations turn into orders.
The Bronco will also bite Toyota. The 4Runner is dated as well. It supposedly has a loyal base but is it, or is some meaningful segment of it just people who want a capable 4x4 but look at the Wrangler and think meh... Those people are going to be looking hard at Bronco.
