As a user in the know here told me last time I moaned about no hybrid, Ford is known to release these things late in hopes that people who’ve already purchased will trade in. Oh the almighty money grab.

I'm not sold yet on hybrid off roaders. People are bitching that the alternator now is too low for water fording. Now with a hybrid you have to consider electric motors, a giant battery pack and how to protect them from water intrusion. I can see it easily costing $10-15k more than a comparable gas only Bronco.
It will cost that much more if it is the “Raptor” bronco.

As far as I know the electric motor is inside transmission so no concern for me there.

And to the OP, 2023 at the earliest IMO

Not gonna lie, even though I jumped off the Wrangler bandwagon a long time ago, the 4xe has got me thinking. Jeep says it'll be in showrooms in December. Ford messed up by not having the plug in ready to go at launch

Yes I wish they had the PHEV Bronco ready to go at launch :(

The only manual hybrid was the Honda CRz and it wasn't great

You will have the bronco hybrid in auto only
We all know that's most likely the case, but Getrag said the transmission would work with hybrids so some of us are going to dream about it. No need to spoil our fun.

Price & performance. We have zero data on either. I personally would need a significant amount of data on both before considering a hybrid 4x4.
