Anyone know when we can start to expect reviews for the Bronco on Consumer Reports, Car & Driver, etc?

I think the better question is, "When will social media STOP reviewing and having people reacting to receiving them".

I'm totally in for the first youtube Bronco Unboxing video.

Can we have the media suppress any Bronco news until my delivery date? Should be easy for them to do.

I think Ford can make them hold info until a date they select.

Honestly who cares. When you look back and read the reviews that they have left even for modern classics such as the MK4 supra and process what they say, they're wrong more often than they are right.

Especially today, everyone assumes the average consumer wants the vehicle with little road noise, creature comforts like heated everything and automatic shizz, at least 25MPG+, zero maintenance issues besides oil and wipers, and never get stuck in snow, and probably a hybird, anything short of a Crosstrek or Rav4 is going to get 3 out 5 stars no matter how overbuilt and capable it is.

"oh this vehicle can handle Moab stock unassisted and survive the nuclear holocaust but has less than desireable MPG for todays standards and loudest road noise in its segment which will irritate even the most enthusiastic consumer. Also its a domestic product so...ew" - CR probably

TLDR: Auto reviews are biased.

Lol, you should get a job with them, you’re write up seemed spot on.

Doug will have you beat with a "THHIIIIISSSSS is the new Ford Bronco!" at the embargo lift.

Have you read any of the mpg/power seat/noise/washout concern threads? Seems in the same ballpark as what you are describing. Maybe CR is targeting more folks than you think?

Wait. So you're saying the average consumer wants more road noise, less gas mileage, more maintenance and likes to get stuck in the snow?

Okay, this part is funny. That does sound like CR.

Consumer Reports purchases all the products they test/review including autos. They are currently testing a sport and will test the Bronco soon as they can buy one.

Peterson/4 wheeler reviews matter more to me...
