Good news for Bronco ADM: Toyota back to full production in 2021.

I found this on Reddit. I can't speak for the accuracy of this article as I don't have a direct source and haven't seen it corroborated anywhere else.

BUT... if Toyota can take the brunt of hungry 4x4 buyers, Bronco demand and price (increased ADMs) could have some negative pressure.

Perhaps other manufacturers could figure out how they did it as well and repeat the success.

Crossing fingers. I will edit the title if this ends up being inaccurate.

It’s probably because it’s Tacoma and 4 runner are such old POSs they don’t need any chips lol. They’re literally a steering wheel and pedal. Anything can be made reliable if it’s a 20 year old platform with a 5 speed tranny and no tech lol

Haha! Exactly the same reason I have a Tacoma and DR650. I like minimal... The Bronco is extravagant compared. It makes me nervous!


Despite that though, I do wonder why the supply changed suddenly enough to return full production.

As a backup option, I’m in line to get a 2022 Tacoma TRD Pro. If it’s available to me before my Bronco, I’m gonna be real tempted to get it.

There is plenty of tech just depends how much you want to spend same with the Bronco

I’ll be picking up an Army green 22 TRD OR loaded mid Dec. Resale values are crazy. I’ll keep my 2 Bronco orders and compare once one of them is built.

My Toyota dealer has an army green 4runner OR incoming. If it arrives before my bronco that’s just sitting with no update, then I’m buying it
