Guessing there won't be a Filson Edition Bronco anytime soon

[Rick Astley]

Filson's been downsizing a bit locally and recently slashed a few more jobs. Their employment is now only ~300 staff compared to 496 employees in 2015.

Filson has recently raised prices on their iconic products and cut costs (labor and marketing). Bedrock, who owns Filson (and other brands), is improving the bottom line. I doubt we will see a Joint Venture between Filson and Ford for quite some time.

They should donate this rig to the firefighters working the Dixie fire (or any of the other 85 108 fires burning right now).

Filson manufacturing in Sodo (Seattle) is kinda crazy with the hourly labor rates they need to pay so there employees don't starve.

They make what appear great products, I just struggle with the value anymore.

The interior of the Filson Bronco would be a dream!

I believe they did donate the rig to the Forrest Service or a connected environmental group.

I don't think ford had ever planned for a filson edition in the 1st place.

I am sure your correct, Filson is no Eddie Bauer.

They can't fulfill the orders for regular Broncos, you want a special edition!?!

Just kidding that green would be sick!

I think the green was designed to mimic the early USFS green.
