Everything is pointing to JAN 2021 for actual delivery. August-October 2020 seems plausible for a public debut.
You think we have a full year to wait on a reveal? I was kind of hoping we'd see some good stuff at the January auto shows with the basics, followed by a year of them releasing teasers, videos of off road stuff, showing diff trim levels like big Bend or Outer Banks, etc, then opening up order banks around Aug/Sep for January 2021 delivery for first ones
Unfortunately, yes.
This is my first post...I’m in the same boat as you
...what delay? We’ve known production isn’t going to start until 12/20 for a long time now.
Besides, good opportunity for me to sock away cash until the end of next year. Serendipitously, the wait is helping me not impulse, which isn't "exciting", but will probably work out for the best.
My understanding is that they did not intend to announce the Bronco returning for a while, but UAW announcing the return in negotiations forced their hand.That 1/21ish production date has been the only date really confirmed by any of the sources commenting here (maybe anywhere)... At least since 2/2019 with that U725 post from carmaker - maybe earlier.
May help to manage timeline expectations based on that. To a degree, I get the frustration and IMO I wonder if Ford just made the initial announcement, back in 1/2017, way too early. I guess I just assume this wait is "normal" because I haven't really had enough interest to follow an upcoming model before and don't know enough if this has taken "too long" by any kind of standard. I personally don't mind the wait as my current car isn't in danger of falling apart between now and then... Unlike Stampede's rig... sorry man.
And add to that, Bronco isn't a refresh or an evolutionary product - it is a ground-up totally new creation. I'd bet the timelines aren't all that dissimilar from other manufacturers designing and producing an entirely new vehicle.
