Ford should of not made so many bronco models

[Bronco21fan]

Was just thinking with the current situation and all the parts shortages Ford should of just had a couple trims base black diamond outer banks and badlands wild track and big bend should of not been a possibility they just don’t seem to make sense. Plus with all the parts constraints seems like ford left themselves short handed with all the different models to make

I think offering Sasquatch on all versions was over zealous too. They shot for the moon

It seems like all of the constrained components (MIC; Sasquatch; 2.7; Tow etc.) go across all or most trim levels...so the number of trims is really of no consequence in this...

I kind of agree with this. Maybe the first year or two offer three models. Entry level, mid and top of the line. Big Bend, OBX and Badlands. They should have got their feet wet first instead of jumping in the deep end head first.

Don’t get me wrong I’m happy there’s something for everyone but they could have consolidated some trims and just gave the badlands with high pakage to compete against rubicon wild track wasent needed and big bend or base one of them should of gone or big bend should have been the starting point but like I said at least there’s something for everyone

If Covid didn't hit last year, we wouldn't even being having this conversation...

IMO I think Ford will cut back on the amount of models down the road, just to make production and ordering easier though

AFAIK There's no commodity constraint on the trim badges. Those and the SBD are the only trim specific items in the whole lineup.

They went straight at the Jeep market and Jeep has just as many trim packages, in fact they almost line up exactly. That way a buyer can make a direct comparison with both features and price to the Jeep.

Honestly I feel the exact opposite, I thought the Bronco would have had more options and availabilities than they did.

Each Bronco built probably shares somewhere in the neighborhood of 90ish% of its parts with every other Bronco regardless of trim tho...

The various models are far, far more alike than they are different. Trimming them down wouldn't really have much effect.

They could have 100 trims or just 1, as long as Webasto keeps fucking up the hardtops, won't make a difference to how many vehicles they can actually build.

INSIGHTFUL POINT! - I'm sure your 5 minutes of analysis was way more detailed and thoughtful than Ford's multi year planning and design of the Bronco lineup. We should all carry you down to Jim Farley's office and tell him we've found the solution to all his problems. They'd probably give you a test Bronco immediately and put you to work.

You should probably contacts Starbucks too and tell them they have way to many coffee price points on their menu. Your insights would surely make profits skyrocket there too!

There’s no need to be a smart ass just having a discussion to pass the time along while we all wait not sure why so many people get butt hurt over the dumbest shit

At least it's not this bad... yet

But wouldn't less trims mean less parts spread around?
