Bradley, Ford MUST offer all their parts through Ford because there are no aftermarket parts out there for the Bronco. Bronco owners are stuck buying from Ford even if they don't like the product they offer.
Yeah but isn't that the appeal? Jeeps are a dime a dozen... they may be recognizable but they're equally ubiquitous even in major cities where almost nobody wheels them. The Bronco is still a unique look much like the FJ and it will still be new. Barring limitations in how many can be produced, I would not be shocked at all if first year sales compete with the Wrangler and eat a bit of that pie.
No different than a Jeep and it's just the nature of a new vehicle. I mean the original JL bumper options were just JK bumpers with adapter plates and the real lift kits took a fair bit of time to hit market too. I can guarantee the aftermarket for the Bronco will pop quickly.
This was more of a point that these can all be financed with your car loan. I understand Jeep has the aftermarket cornered at the moment. The Bronco shown has primarily all accessories available to be financed. That cant be said about the Jeep in the photo. In 2 years time I expect the after market to be closer in numbers.
To me it looks so TAME compared to how rugged the Jeep looks. The Bronco looks like an SUV that's trying to transition into an off road beast. The Jeep looks and is so much more rugged looking and raw. I like that they've kept that look with the fenders and grill while still adapting the interior and making the ride a little more comfy in the JL's. In the end, I think this will create better products through more competition which is good for all of us!
it looks like a Mini Cooper Countryman with larger wheels.thats the bronco. the sport is the yellow one on the left of the pic here.
