Is anyone else wondering where the front license plate will mount?

Yeah if you get a chance and could ask if they know where the actual front license plate mount will go for us that have to have them would be appreciated, thanks!

I just received word that the Ford engineers will be doing a live Q&A on Saturday. I wasn't given a time, but it sounded like it would be in the afternoon. Might have to stick around until then to see if we can get any new information.

They will also be around starting tomorrow, so maybe I can get some questions answered before the Q&A.

We should put together some Q's to stomp their A's.

First Question: WHEN THE *@$% IS B&P COMING OUT?!

I just do not understand what you guys thought the bronco would be lmaoooo
Have you ever ever rode in a Wrangler prior to deciding you wanted its twin?

Yeah i have, so i hope this is better in some respects. It isn't a high bar imo to be better than a wrangler in overall comfort. Fair point though. This needs to be the next level, not its twin.

For crying out loud all ya'll slow down ! I started this thread on my lunch break and now it's over and I just finished one thread ! Ya'll added 3 pages as I was reading it ,LOL .

The only thing I really learned aside from seeing the awesome pics to begin with is too many people do not have any idea what "Pre-Production" means . I've worked in the automotive trade for 35 years and we let things go all the time that are of varying materials and quality just so the manufactor can get something put together . We let frames , nuts and bolts etc out the door without coatings and rust treatments etc . Things change drastically on day one of production .

2nd is it is obvious some of you have never lived without AC , LOL .

I wonder if any vehicle in the history of vehicles has been scrutinized to the level of this new Bronco? Were y'all this critical of the last vehicle you bought? I would guess no or you wouldn't have brought it home.

You guys crack me up

These pics and vids cements my desire for the Bronco despite its flaws. There is enough good to out weigh the not as good for me.

I predict I will be moving up spots on the list

The new Land Rover Defender. Although some comments on here are absolutely hilarious. Essentially the bronco has all the things defender fans wanted on the defender and they complained about the new defender not having (valid reasons too)

Now the Bronco fans have complaints about the new bronco because it sounds like what they want is the new Defender.

Should organize a meet and greet.

I think everyone in the audience should get together before questioning and agree that one by one, they all ask about B&P.?

Of course, and the Wrangler is starting to look like it has a luxury interior compared to these pre-production models. I still have have faith though.

Thanks for getting these pics, awesome to see!

Regarding interiors I’m glad it’s spartan-looking and mostly plastic/smooth surfaces. Will be easier to clean after a doors off/top off day on a dusty trail.

Bronco owners, just like Wrangler owners will fit into two groups in this regard:

1) Those who want the sparse interior options for ease of cleaning, wheeling, outdoor activities etc;

2) Those who wouldn’t mind a nicer interior but accept it because they like the look/performance of the vehicle or want to be seen as a part of the adventurous lifestyle

More pics from @irv0735. This set shows sway bar, rear floor air vents, rear seats folding flat (pics & video).

The rear seat cushion flips up to allow the seat to fold flatter.

So, uh... this is in Colorado, right?... And it's a public event... Does this mean TFL can be there?

They are Buena vista with their Gladiator an F250. Dont know if they would be allowed with TFL cameras. I hope they can visit as public.

I got here a little early and got a chance to snag a few pictures of the Bronco Two-Door Trail Rig Concept before they put it in the booth, but it does look like it will be roped off most of the time.

I snagged a video of them moving it as well. The noise before he starts moving is the removal of the electronic parking brake.

I'll check this thread for requests to get pictures of something specific. It is tough to see into the back right now, so I will see if they are willing to open the back up for some better interior pictures there.

UNBELIEVABLY GREAT PICTURES - DONE ON THE GROUND IN WET SNOW -YOU ARE THE MAN!
I fear the torrent that is going to come from the three pedal SAS guys.

Thank you for the awesome post and live video! It was so great to 'see' it. You did a great job at trying to get everyones requests.

Thanks for the pics! Good to see there are some drain holes in the bottom of the frame. Yeah that's the kind of stuff I look at.

 

[vrewald14]

I would like to strongly caution everyone against assuming that the brown discoloration you see around some of the holes is corrosion or rust.

I have a theory, which is that you are actually seeing dirt. Not rust or corrosion. Look at everything circled in green. If what we're seeing was rust, I would expect to see it on ALL holes or surfaces with sharp edges.

Instead, we only see it on some surfaces, of holes that ALSO have a darker discoloration / "wet" appearance surrounding the hole (areas boxed in red).

Also, if you look at the original image in the first post and blow it up on a big screen, it's easy to see that the brown discoloration looks quite raised in appearance. Meaning, there's no way that much rust would stand up and out over this short time.

Finally, look at the other areas of the undercarriage. There is definitely this similar colored discoloration dirt everywhere. Especially on the differential.

Based on this, what I actually think we're seeing, is that there was some kind of fluid around the red boxed holes that left a residue and attracted dust / dirt from previous showcasings that has not been washed off.

Just a theory.
