Where can I see/sit in a New Bronco before converting??

[Monster1926]

Hello, does anyone know where I would be able to physically see/sit in a new bronco? I live in the Midwest more specifically Indiana and I’m willing to travel into Michigan. Does anyone know if Ford is going to send some pre-production Broncos to dealerships like General Motors did with the C8 Corvette? I have a rule of not buying a vehicle before I see/sit in it. I know driving one would be out of the question since it’s pre-production but they should at least let us see them in person.

Multiple locations in Allen Park / Dearborn Michigan.
Nothing is guaranteed though, so likely not worth the drive.

Unless you're lucky enough to live near one of the Bronco events I think you'll be out of luck. My understanding is that all dealer allocation will go to owners and that there won't just be Broncos sitting around for people to drive, let alone just sit in. If your reservation is late enough maybe you can persuade an owner to let you sit in it before you convert your order. Otherwise, you're taking a leap of faith.

I called Ford marketing and they had no clue of any locations to view one.

i understand that, I was hoping Ford would be smart enough to send multiple teams out in F450 with a trailer in a Few unsaleable Broncos to show off. Gm did this with the C8 and it was nice to see something before you commit to purchase.

Yeah a $50K leap of faith. lol

At the events you won't be able to sit in it but at least you'll be able to see it. We were lucky because Sanderson Ford had the 2 bronco's that were going to the AZ show at their showroom. They didn't care what you did so we got to go inside them and do whatever we wanted to. When we got to the show they had them roped off and wouldn't let anyone inside them.

Yeah, that was a tongue-in-cheek answer. He's referring to those who've had luck seeing some parked on Ford property outside of engineering/ validation labs.

I asked specifically if any dealers would have pre production units to view. He said they have no plans to do that.

Sorry, I'm not referring to Ford marketing's answer as tongue-in-cheek, but the suggestion to head to Allen Park.

On this thread about the Orlando show, they specifically listed the 2021 Bronco and Bronco Sport separately (and the Mach E). I doubt they'd put that up if they didn't have one.

At any rate, I'm hoping someone here will be able to go Friday and give a yes/no, and save me a trip if there isn't one.

There were supposed to be Bronco Showrooms and my dealer was/is to be one. Whether that's changed is anyone's guess.

Eh, even the few they show are all frankenbuilds

Dealerships are supposed to be getting at least one mannequin that you can check out. Allen Park Michigan Southfield Road at Ford Facility usually has one sitting in the parking lot.

In the latest Q&A video from Bronco Nation the marketing guy mentioned that every dealer will get a Bronco show car for their showroom. This will be before deliveries start.

Good to know. Hopefully they come in before the March deadline.

Same for Chicagoland, if anyone hears of a Bronco viewing, give a shout.
