Should we expect similar prices to the 2 and 4 door wranglers or is it going to be more of a specialty product like the raptor with similar pricing? a rubicon is about $42k for the 4 door and a sport is around $32k. If I could get a 4 door bronco xlt for around $36k I’d be a happy man. My guess is Ranger price plus 10% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggests the next gen Ranger will be a tad wider too. Anything is possible with so many changes from the ground up, baking in all potential product variations that are covered under the envelope. I wonder if Bronco will cover this classic styling element at the top of the door, that's kinda cool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgeoffroad04 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Does anyone know if ford has decided on front suspension style? SFA vs. IFS? Curious if they are still testing or if that ship has sailed and what we see in the Mule is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably very similar to the existing Ranger. The rear is probably similar to the Ranger Raptor with the Watts linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.I. Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I´m tired of the Bronco history. 6 years waiting for this vehicle. Is a long time with rumors, fake news, delays and more delays, and more delays. I'm at a point where I do not want to know anything about this car anymore. If they're going to produce it, let them do it once and for all . Test mules 6 years after Ford announced they will produce a new Bronco! Oh My God! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 If you really want to split hairs, we had a Bronco concept back in 2004 or so-pre global recession and the great SUV correction of 2007 or so when gas prices sky rocketed. So we can techinally say we have been waiting almost a decade and half The current Bronco rumors are about 4-5 years old, prior the way too early show off the name in 2017.

I'm guessing it'll fall in line with Edge pricing, if not a tad higher with a Raptor version. 8 hours ago, falconlover 1 said: I´m tired of the Bronco history. 6 years waiting for this vehicle.

jpd80 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I think they will be competitive with Wrangler but I wonder if Ford sits the price between Edge and Explorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d expect it to be more expensive than the edge due to it being a 4x4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K270 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Anyone notice the current Ford financing commercials? Do you see what the F-150 is towing on a flatbed? I wonder if that's intentional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
