Selected for 2021 Bronco Employee Event on Thursday 08.20.2020 -- Any Questions?

Update 8/20: Some impressions and answers have been posted at new thread:
Some questions answered at Bronco Employee Roundup Event. White Tops Confirmed!



Hey folks... so I am a new member to the forums here, but have been doing a lot of reading of various threads for a while.

Just wanted to post that I was lucky enough to win a spot to see the new Broncos this Thursday morning... and wanted to ask the group here, is there anything the group wants me to ask the reps, take more pics of (if possible), or get clarity on?

Like I said after reading through the threads and others who have done the same, not sure if I will be able to get any kind of new info, but just wanted to ask.

After the event I will share any info/pics that are allowable.

****UPDATE****

So after attending here is my recap...

Vehicles on display: 2 Bronco Sport Badlands (one Rapid Red and one Cyber Orange), the Catcus Gray 4 door Bronco "20 footer", a black 2 Door Badlands trail equipped concept from earlier event, and the Rapid Red Outbanks 4 door fishing concept.

The vehicles there were nothing new and nothing anyone hasn't seen, so no major updates. Pics from the Employee Round Up thread are representative and better than mine as I realized I did not take that many. The Cactus Gray and 2 Door Badlands were sasquatch packages, the Rapid Red fishing concept was Outer Banks, and the two Bronco Sports were Badlands.

As I expected the majority of the people working the event did not have deep knowledge, just basic info and there to direct people. There were a couple guys there with deeper knowledge but their time was limited with our group.

And no Jerry can paint swatches

Some takeaways... all info is per the reps onsite

1. Overall size, height of sasquatched Broncos is not bad. Being 6'5" it shouldn't be an issue getting in. The height of the Outbanks fishing concept was shorter than expected, kind of surprised me. I would say getting in and out would not be vastly different than say an Explorer.

2. Marine grade vinyl will come with a "few color options"

3. Trims starting at the Outerbanks and above level will have floor plugs, just under the carpet if you don't get rubber floors.

4. Trail control will allow you to set "cruise" between 3-20 mph so you can watch other areas of vehicle while on the trail... so you don't have to focus on looking out the windshield

5. Trial cam recording... probably not going to be available onboard, suggestion was use a GoPro

6. General location of front trail cam (couldn't confirm where exactly) appears it would be covered by the winch they had on the black 2 door

7. Per one of the knowledgeable reps... white door handles will not be an option... but he did say painted white hard top will be an option, I even clarified 2 times

Other than those things, nothing really new... I had limited time and realized when my group was done I hadn't asked more questions or took more pics... I think I was too excited to finally see them in person.

Overall all of them will be great vehicles and we all will have a great time customizing and making them our own!

So much talk of interiors not representing production vehicles....when do they expect to have some to show-off?

What's projected date for Job #1?

How late do they expect velocity blue to be?

Thanks

If possible, try to get some decent photos of the gas can paint samples. There will be A LOT of people that will love you for this.

Gonna say it before someone else. You're going to confuse people in this forum.... I think you mean "Thursday" 8.20.2020? They are pretty critical.

UPDATE: For context, the original title was "...Thursday 8.18.2020..."

Thank you for reaching out here and offering research for us. I have asked before, hoping to get some answer, but is there a chance of any additional paint colors making their way into the mix for 2021?

FACTS! haha

First, have fun, we are all jealous.
Initial impression of the size of the Bronco (both 2 and 4 door) from the outside and inside (if allowed).
If possible can you flip the seat and climb into the back of a 2 door?
Any pics you can get, especially of the character lines and then close ups of the character lines so we can get good looks at the paint.
Thanks for opening yourself up to our affliction.

Wow, very cool. I second the question about when we will see a production interior inside an actual vehicle. Could you let the Ford people know there is a large group that would love to have the vinyl seats and rubber floors as an option on the WildTrak.

Thanks for the correction!

@dwfern - Ask them when the build and price is coming out for the Bronco.

it would be dope if you could get an actual confirmed month of expected delivery. also would be dope if they could tell you when some mannequin models will be at dealerships to test drive

He’s riding in a car. It’s called the Bronco. He is asking for people to submit questions that he will ask. If allowed, he will post pictures of his experience.

also please stress how dope it would be if marine vinyl and washout floors were standard on all models...... customers would be very happy.

Will do my best at size estimations... I am fairly bad at it as everything seems small to me. I am 6'5" and could trim some lbs. too... I will be moving out of a Flex to a Bronco, so that will likely be the lense my comparisons are based off of.

Definitely will be asking about Build & Price as like many of you I am itching to see how much money I am going to end up spending and where I will need to compromise on my config! Ha ha ha!!
