This may be spot on.
Anyone willing to throw money on it?
1. Gas won’t hit $10, demand destruction for gas is already happening
2. The bulk of these vehicles are going to people that don’t care about the cost of fuel. Just like wranglers, this specific type of vehicle is not typically affected by fuel cost.

I'm definitely swayed by fuel cost due to my commute.......

But everytime I look at another vehicle with better mileage I come back to the Bronco!

I really wish there was a plug in hybrid version.

Or a diesel option. I pulled a loaded 6x12 enclosed trailer 90 miles yesterday behind my 2018 Range Rover with the Ford Lion 3.0L diesel and got 2mpg better fuel economy than my Bronco gets in mixed driving. We’ve averaged 28.6 mpg in the 64,000 miles since we bought it.

In another 3-4 years their will be an electric Bronco as well as a Scout from VW. It will be nice to have options.

If you order now (mid August) you will wait. Order now. Nothing to lose.

My dealer said the order banks will open on August 22nd. Based only on what I am seeing- 6 to 8 months to get after that. Yes, many have waited longer- but we are seeing some end to the chip issue and Covid closings. So if you do your math, if you at all want a chance to have it by this time next year- you’d better order in August.

The economy will collapse before gas reaches $10/gallon national average. We are in the mid $4's here in south Georgia.
