Awesome Cars Coming Out Soon
Ford Bronco
2020
The first Ford Bronco was released in 1966 and the model would go on to have 5 generations until it was discontinued in 1996. It was first made to compete with the Jeep CJ in the new SUV market. The Bronco had a solid 30 year run, but by that time consumers were choosing Ford’s other SUV, The Explorer, because it had four doors. So, Ford bucked the Bronco and introduced The Expedition which is still in production today. Since then the Ford Bronco’s value has gone only one way, up. The early generations of Bronco’s are some of the most valued classic SUV’s on the market. In 2017, Ford decided to reboot the old franchise and announced that The Ford Bronco will be on assembly lines again. Ford wants to take back the 4x4 off-road crown Jeep has been wearing the past couple decades. The new Bronco will share the 2019 Ford Ranger’s platform. Its top and doors will be removable, like the Jeep Wrangler. The Bronco will have two different engine options; a 2.4L 4 cylinder and a 2.7 V6 Ecoboost. The Bronco will come with its classic two door only look but to try to appeal to a wider consumer base, Ford has decided to also make some that have four doors. I’m sure some Bronco fans will not be pleased about that. All in all though its gonna be awesome to have The Bronco back on the streets and on the trails. My only concern is that Ford screws up the classic Bronco look and design. I love its boxy aesthetic, I hope they didn’t “modernize" it too much.
