This would be a very different conversation if I NEEDED a Bronco - but I don't. When you NEED something you're more open to compromise. For me, Bronco is only a whimsical desire...a "nice to have". But if the base model comes with too much electronic crap, no worries...Sayonara.
If you can keep this stuff turned off AND these functions don't clutter up the dash like a Boeing 737 MAX I don't care. But I'm just looking to buy a vehicle - not a Guardian Angel.
TECH doesn't have to be integrated into ALL aspects of life. One day there will probably be a La-B-boy recliner...
In talking about the BroncoBronco, we've described it as a 'passion' purchase. Not many vehicles are gonna fall into that category. That leaves most buyers with more of a calculated decision...functionality, color preference, $1K price difference, dealer convenience, etc. So...it's all a...
Chad....great to have someone like you in the forum. A few questions please:
Knowing the vehicle is 99% mystery at the moment, can you offer a few examples here. If window or folding mirror control is simply a digital on/off setting, why would Ford not ship the vehicle with everything...
Seems like the crossover is most often compared to the Cherokee, which is 182" long. I think the 2-door broncobronco is guesstimated to be 168"-170".
I think the longer Ford keeps up this ridiculous model-naming shell game, the more apt they are to slam a very tender body part in the door.

Take a Brittany or a setter up to Republic or Lake Gogebic in the Yooper...perfect time to have your heart stopped by a majestic grouse flush!
Teocali & Tslater...good points all - especially "Reliability", which in & of itself gives me comfort to get off the beaten path.
But other advantages of today's era are: CAD/CAM, process automation, ZD/JIT supply chain, and almost zero cost of capital. In comparison to mid-20th century, back...
Chrispy...the Hershey analogy doesn't hold.
An inflation calculator shows that '69 - '69 cost translating to $21K - $22.5K; certainly Bronco will come close to doubling that.
CAFE/safety is partly to blame, but reality is in the late '60s you were buying a "car" - today you're buying a...
I agree we should let the product speak for itself...and we're just not there yet. But reality says this "entire group of people" has a pretty questionable track record. In addition to an individual product, you judge a company by their overall financial success - and Ford isn't having much...
I'm guessing the 2025 Bronco "refresh" will delete the vehicle entirely and substitute a pair of VR goggles. All this meaningless BS being added is just something to drive sticker cost/margin & repair bills.
If you're correct about the 'baby'...and Carmaker1 recently advised "Bronco insignia and B R O N C O in lettering will be on these [several Ford] vehicles in very visible places"....wouldn't it be logical that U725 - THE 2021 Bronco will need to be called Bronco [something]?
