Honestly, Jeep has quite a while to respond given that Broncos won't even start being delivered until spring of next year at the earliest. That's assuming we don't go through another round of assembly plant closures. Realistically, the casual Bronco buyer probably isn't getting their order until June/July of next year assuming Ford isn't pumping the numbers on their pre-orders. One thing is for sure though, Jeep needs to respond in some way.

I hope the Bronco steals some of Jeeps sales. I'm tired of seeing 5 on every corner with hardtops and pavement queen tires.

Gotta go by the numbers.

- Change bumpers to get petter approach/departure
- Offroad package option for Sport for better ground clearance and/or bigger tires for a "base" model
- etc.

How about an auto-up feature for the power windows? This is the 21st century after all.

Then again, knowing FCA, it’ll be a $595 option.

I don’t believe that’s a special edition. Looks like an outerbanks with accessories fitted.

Yea, it's not a special edition, just suited out with particular types of accessories.

I do wonder what this means


BUILD SPECIFICATIONS
• Ford Performance by WARN® winch
• Ford Performance modular front bumper
• Ford Performance tube doors
• Ford Performance by RIGID® off-road lightbar
• Ford Performance by RIGID off-road pod lights • Yakima® LockNLoadTM Platform roof rack
• Ford Performance recovery boards
• Ford Performance by WARN recovery kit
• Rear swing-gate-mounted table
• Spare parts and fluids by Motorcraft®

Very interesting. I wonder if the Warn winch by Ford Performance will be the 10s or the evo, and will it be cheaper than buying warn aftermarket???

I have been driving Ford vehicles for well over 30 years now. The electronic gimmicks that Ford has been pushing in the past few years have me totally turned off of the Bronco. I learned to drive in a 1971 Bronco with the 3 speed column shift. I really thought that I would consider the Bronco as my next, and last vehicle purchase. But I'm not too happy with the direction that Ford has been moving. Jeep is the only brand that I think is worth the money for the off-road needs that I have.

I don’t believe that’s a First (special) edition. Looks like an outerbanks with accessories fitted.

It’s a concept. Wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being produced in some way.

I doubt it will be cheaper. Here's the Mopar Warn Zeon 8s, MSRP of $1,595: https://www.allmoparparts.com/sku/p5160095ac.html

Warn's MSRP is $80 less: https://www.warn.com/zeon-8s-winch-89305

And you don't even get a special Mopar sticker or anything.

I like the turbo 2.0...but I would still like to see more power without breaking the bank to get it. A v8 response to the Bronco sounds good but CAFE requirements will make this an expensive short term option at best. Bring on a turbo v6

You know what I would like to see Jeep do? Make the Rubicon a serious off-road ready rig. I'm not saying it isn't already. But maybe offer it with Dana 60's as an option and nix the Dana 35. Give everything else a Dana 44 rear with option of a locker and keep the Dana 30 in the front for the sport and give the Sahara a Dana 44 front with options of lockers front and rear.

Seriously, how many people after spending all that money on a Rubicon go out and change the axles to 60's anyway? Why not make it an option for those that really want to wheel their jeeps? And how many have Saharas that would love to have lockers like the Rubicons?

Oh yeah...and one touch roll up windows...lol

Over the last week I've watched quite a few Cherokee KL (2014 - present) videos and I'm amazed at what they can do with no straight axles. That being said it looks like the Bronco is going to kick that up a few notches. I don't think 2022 is going to be a good year for the Wrangler.

With all the excitement around the BRONCO when and what could we see JEEP do to steal some momentum back in the Immediate future? Besides the V8 "Concept"

As of now, there is no momentum to gain back.

The Ford Bronco had its fifteen minutes of fame. And since it’s not available NOW, most people have already forgotten about it. It’s yesterday’s news.
