New Bronco

Race Red Outer Banks Sasquatch | Navy Pier Interior Seats

I come bearing more gifts. additionally I had the pleasure of sitting in the 4dr today. Quite roomy for the driver. Back seats are as cramped as they are on the Wrangler. Interior quality is what you’d expect, good amount of plastics, nothing really soft touch. It’s nice though for what it is.

Florida car dealer mistakenly sells man a Ford Bronco Sport display model, demands its return

A Tampa Bay area Ford dealer demanded a customer return a brand new SUV one day after purchase. Turns out the Ford Bronco Sport was a mannequin vehicle that was not supposed to leave the car lot.

Thx for sharing. With a ‘94 RRC and ‘96 D1 already in the garage, I’d seriously look at this vs a Defender.

I’m disappointed by the lack of humorous commentary by the cameramen. No one said “just like your mom” when the guy said “man everyone is hitting that.”

Looks good, though. The rolling chassis was neat to see the rear frame and suspension design.

I’m looking forward to seeing one in person. Still not super impressed with the suspension flex on these. A friend of mine saw several and said they’re very Jeep-y which was is what I was afraid to hear. The fact they don’t offer any other interior and seat color than black kills me

Yes, I was surprised at that as well. I don’t mind black yet it certainly makes the interior feel smaller.

We have a white dog that sheds like hell and black seats will get scorching in the summer down here so the lighter interior makes a huge difference

I can think of several things you can do to remedy having black seats. Custom made seat covers, generic sheepskin/sheep wool seat covers, hippie bead seat covers, a blanket, a sheet, etc.

Another remedy is to shop for a car that offers other-than-black

More of an observation than anything. I’m starting to think my future lineup will probably be a sedan as a daily paired with an older Rover

After having an Audi Avant (wagon) in the mix probably would not go back to a sedan. However we had an A4 sedan as a loaner and it did have good cargo area with rear seats folded. The Avant though just makes it easier.

Wife will have a big SUV for those needs. Would love a Jag XF wagon but there tough to find and command a high premium over the XF sedan

To me there is no question as to Bronco vs Defender, and it goes beyond price. LR fucked the Defender because they got greedy, or were just clueless, or, more than likely, they just aren't your father's LR anymore. Do a search. Bronco vs Defender aftermarket front bumper. Got to give Ford credit, they understand one of the main things that make the Wrangler popular and tapped into it.

Which would be me - the father!

Agreed on Ford’s marketing. They will do well.

I've thought about this. I can't remember ever owning a vehicle with an interior other than black, or some other variant of it. I'm sure I have, but I'll be dammed if I can remember it.

My interiors have been gray, red, beige, another beige, black, another black, another red (current), and another black (current). Wife currently has white.

Too many to remember yet current is tan in both Rovers, cream in the Saab, dove grey in the A4.

Great video. Looks like the new Bronco is very offroad capable.

Haven't figured out the various packages yet but it looks more and more like the true defender replacement.... Priced tons better to.
