Rugged Ridge HD Stubby.What bumper is that?
Ford has a "Futurest" on staff. she is a full time on staff Ford motor compny employee. The fist report I've seen looked like statistic. How yesterday. Maybe she can confirm your vision in 5 yearsI've never been a fan of Ford ... and I find their marketing abrasive, kind of like a political add. "Everyone sucks, buy a Ford" .... no thanks.
I find it equally laughable that they designed a platform to be a desert runner and then claim it to be a Jeep killer. I predict a day in the future with Bronco's clogging trails with Jeeps waiting patiently behind tapping steering wheels.
Ford has a Marketing guy who leaks photos and pieces of information on Twitter ... that's how they communicated the roll out, delays, price and color changes, B&P updates to those who reserved ... it was sad and frustrating ... glad it's over!From Bronco6G, supposedly March 29 is regular production start up. We shall see.
You are correct, the new Bronco is based on the next gen Ranger platform. In fact, spy photos of a camo’ed next gen Ranger finally started surfacing just a few weeks ago in Michigan.I heard the opposite. I heard that the Ranger is based upon a 9 year old platform that has been sold all over the world, just not here in the U.S. When Ford brought it here a couple years ago, they tried to pass it off as "new" but it isn't. It's old.
The Bronco, on the other hand, is all new from the ground up and the next generation Ranger will be based upon the Bronco.
That's the version I heard.

When I got my JTR LE my buddy, who has an older Bronco appropriately named the Mountain Truck, told me that after the novelty wore of I’d be back driving my 2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. Over a year later and the JTR now has almost as many miles as the GC. The Grand Cherokee is a great rig but the Gladiator just makes me smile every time I drive it.After much back & forth, owning Fords for much of my life and watching the terrible Bronco rollout. I have cancelled my Bronco reservation from July 2020 ...
This morning I ordered a Sarge Green Gladiator Mojave ... Super excited to be part of the Jeep community .. Now the hard part, Waiting the 6-8 weeks..
Smart choice! You won’t be disappointed. The Mojave is an amazing vehicle, and so fun.After much back & forth, owning Fords for much of my life and watching the terrible Bronco rollout. I have cancelled my Bronco reservation from July 2020 ...

I to was a Ford owner my whole life. Got tired of fixing them and once I saw the new Bronco I said hell no and got a Gladiator. Haven't regretted it for a second. Especially after seeing those F-150 issues and recalls. Welcome to the family!After much back & forth, owning Fords for much of my life and watching the terrible Bronco rollout.

I also cancelled my Wildtrak with my local dealer and went JLUR (just finished build). These shady bastards kept the reservation for themselves since they know the stock will be limited as it still shows as active in my Ford account.After much back & forth, owning Fords for much of my life and watching the terrible Bronco rollout.

Glad it worked out for you. The tow rating (3500) and payload is pitiful on the Bronco. However, the reservation to order rate has been higher than Tesla (to my absolute surprise), much better than even Ford expected. Ford stock has almost doubled in the last year (not surprised with the new F150, Mach E, Bronco Sport, and Bronco roll outs) and remains a good buy with Ford moving to EVs (announced support for battery technology today).
