I don't think we will see it until later this year, seems like the GT500 will be the show stopper.
Ugh. I understand they need to keep up with these insane horsepower numbers from Dodge and the Hellcat, but I hope that Ford's big show stopper is not a car most of the population could care less about.

Give us the SUV we want not some over priced death machine.

Is there any time left for a surprise sneak peek at the show?

Looks like we are not getting any information this week. Looks like this is all about the Explorer. Very disappointed in Ford with this.

Hoping for the St Louis Show but I really don't see that as a place to take the wraps off of the 2020 Bronco.

I really thought a NAIAS reveal/sneak peek was almost a guarantee seeing as Detroit would have been the perfect place to do it.

Off-Road Magazine supposedly got their hands on a "production timeline" and it stated the Bronco will be revelaed in 2020 for a 2021 production model. Specifically after the launch of the new Explorer and new Superduty facelift. But we've heard "2021 production model" before.....

Ford needs to do better. They announced 2020 in 2017 so they need to stick to it. They kept their word with the Ranger so they need to do the same with the Bronco. I just hope this is not the beginning of lots of disappointments with the new Bronco.

My first car purchase as an adult was a 1995 Bronco that I kept until 2001 when I started buying wranglers since I couldn't buy a Bronco any more. If this slides until 2022 it's going to be another Wrangler for me and not a Bronco.

I know the semantics of Ford's terminology have been argued ad nauseum, but Ford distinctively says "Available in 2020" on their site (they also still have the "Coming in 2020" phrase posted too). If it is indeed a 2021 model, they need to own up to it and make it clear.

They did mention the Bronco again during the press conference at least. Now that the Ranger, Explorer, GT500 are cleared off the plate, I really think the next couple of auto shows could be ripe for a Bronco concept or teaser. Chicago show next month is probably too small of a venue, but maybe the New York show in April?!?

Color me deeply disappointed.

The only mention for the Bronco was an acknowledgment of the of the enthusiasm for it in the tone and timing of Jim Hackett's list of models that Ford will do something with in the next 24 months.

Only the tiniest thread of hope was dangled in the statement that we would "see" a list of 7 vehicles including the Bronco sometime in "the next few months" -- but maybe Hackett thinks 24 is a "few", who knows?

Ford really dropped the ball on this one.

What a blunder they better make a Bronco appearance before spring if not JEEP will be smiling all the way to the BANK if I do not get a glimmer of hope I will not wait and purchase my next vehicle and they will loose out. Who wants an explorer just another glorified 4x4 want a be.

I'm quite sure you aren't the only one Craig. Ford really needs to feed the masses with timely blurbs to keep them on the line until the Bronco hits the lots. I do not want a Jeep, so I guess I'll just wait. But, many won't.

It really sucks that they are still so far away that they can't even tease it yet. I realize they had quite a few other things to reveal at NAIAS, but I had really hoped for something new.
