We are all super desperate for facts!Man the media is super desperate for any new scrap of information on that Bronco, what a bunch of jokers
This is fair, however TFL was at the unveiling of the Bronco R and even posted an article about it having the 2.7 so the new piece just feels lazy.Bashing Ford or TFL isn't going to speed up the process and TFL is releasing the information they're allowed to release. If they don't play by the rules they won't get a vehicle to test and we all like to see their reviews on new models. I like many on here would love to know more but let's not bite the hands that feed us or they might just go away
Without being morbid (which I can be sometimes, lol), you hit on something that's been on my mind lately. I ain't getting any younger. I've become more keenly aware of time passing and the value of that time. Perhaps that is a reason why this Bronco thing has seemed so drawn out and bugged me more than some others. I'm not 25 yrs old where a couple years can feel like no great shakes.This is SOP......We all know how the games played and the drip......drip....drip is to increase our interest. It's not new and it's not going to change since there's a lot of things that have to be done to roll out a new vehicle. just lining up the suppliers for the parts is huge and then when you factor in different trim levels it takes a lot of time and effort and back up suppliers too.. Just imagine the scheduling on each different part on a vehicle to insure the supply. that's a lot of nuts and bolts and washers and other parts.

I like many on here would love to know more but let's not bite the hands that feed us or they might just go away and since we all know the internet is full of misinformation it's not too reliable either. It's coming and I hope i'm not in a box before it get's here......and I have less time than most of you younger guys to get er done!
Good point but everything is subject to change when the bean counters get involved and they (TFL) want to see this as much as we do and if they throw a bone at Ford about more power and an engineer shakes his head in agreement they run with it...........You know we all want it but what we want and what they produce is always in jeopardy until it's being actually produced and for sale. I think we're going to get the 2.7, but I don't know it and in today's world what trim level will you have to buy to get it? There's going to be a cost and they aren't giving things away on any vehicle out there. It's all part of the game until we see it and then we know for sure.......then we just have to figure out how to buy it and given escalating prices that's becomes part of the equation.....This is fair, however TFL was at the unveiling of the Bronco R and even posted an article about it having the 2.7 so the new piece just feels lazy.

You're not being morbid, but I've had more than my share of sands running thru the hourglass.......seen more than my share of sunrises and ain't quite ready to see my last just yet until I've owned one last Bronco........ but lets hope the good lord and my wife finds it in their heart to give me the time....Without being morbid (which I can be sometimes, lol), you hit on something that's been on my mind lately.

Ford's CEO recently authored a piece about making options more customizable by the purchaser. I'll be Real disappointed if Bronco has the traditional 3 trims with 3 bundled package options in each.I think we're going to get the 2.7, but I don't know it and in today's world what trim level will you have to buy to get it?
What I've noticed about bundling today in vehicles is that they use engines choices to drive the buyers to higher trim levels which increases their profit. In effect they have the XLT available with all engines but trim levels below that can't buy all engines type of marketing strategy. I'm not sure it will apply here but selling yugos with an ecoboost doesn't boost the bottom line and the bottom line is the priority on each model they build. It's how they disguise it and market it that makes it easier for the buyer to rationalize. That's why those tv ads work on many different angles to appeal to a broader audience. It also facilitates being able to build them easier since the trims specific and they have a few choices outside of that instead of a menu with more choices and unlimited options. They have to prestage fewer different parts than normal for that trim and model in the process and production times increase.Ford's CEO recently authored a piece about making options more customizable by the purchaser.
