Build & Price Update from Ford – Q&A with Bronco Brand Manager

[P52Ranch]

I remember when this site was fun and we all made polls and bitched about B&P and debated what “by” meant.

Now ya’ll crying about a manual...people actually read their manuals?

After reading 67 pages of this thread I finally realized that most of the issues raised on B6G are all because of manuals.
- No Manual with a 2.7 engine
- No Manual with Sasquatch
- No Manual with 4 Doors (certain models)
- A Manual requires a Standard (package) (except BL)
- No Paper Manual
- Manual leather seats on a 2 door cost the same as powered leather seats on a 4 door
- The manual door keypad looks like it came from 1980
- The manual weighs 20 pounds less than the 10 speed auto and that 20 extra pounds could be the source of all of the GVWR issues.

Then they should hire some of us lol.

Oh, NO!

That would be a bunch of employees griping nonstop, playing on their phones when they are supposed to be working, and there woukd be 7000 color options! ??

Technically we have known Ford wasn't allowing a manual with the 2.7. Just didn't know it was meant in multiple ways .

Just a new thought: post of your sales deal is a printout of the manual. If not in a premade book, then via the old double sided printer.

That could torque of a few dealers. . Hopefully my dealer in here doesn't get hit with a lot of these demands and trace it back to me!

For $60k they dang well better give me one!

So what if a guy wants an old school manual with his expensive rig........we couldn't begin to list all the individual "wants' that have been expressed on here.

Just drive by and let it be without throwing chairs at them or taunting them to cancel.

Go look at how many places on Ford's current Bronco web pages that it actually recommends reading the manual. It is numerous. Some people prefer paper versus reading on a screen.

If someone wants a hardcopy there are companies that will print your pdf to booklet form. Using the F-150, 700 page manual example it will cost you about $40 at this website.

While I can remember which SUV it was, the IRS found that the real rating was below 6000# and disqualifed any deductions on that vehicle.

It’s hard to believe any automaker took the incredible liability risk of intentionally overrating the weight carrying ability of a vehicle.

I have an EB and I don't understand what you mean. Are you suggesting EBs weren't intended as family vehicles, or to take camping, boating, etc.?

Where is the trailer? The roof rack? The sheets of playwood? The toyhauler? The 2021 Bronco will do EXACTLY what this ad is showing. Kinda supports my point, actually.

Looks spiral bound, I would try Google search for other options from other companies.

Did it seem like there wasn’t going to be a lease option? Not sure if I want to commit long term to this first/second year bronco.

I have built several broncos from Base to Outerbanks. Now that the configurator has some changes in price to it....I might as well throw all those out and start over.
My budget is around 42k.....any suggestions?

Base squatch 2.7 to start...

So many people trying to figure out what MIGHT delay their build. You might as well buy a dart board and see what you hit. I'm ordering exactly what I want and if the wait gets too long will worry then. It's all or none.

Exactly
