Really excited to see exactly how much homework was done on the wrangler by Ford! They really must have a list of improved features over the wrangler, to make such a bold statement. We know about a few from videos and some leaked photos. What other features do you guys and gals think Ford has up their sleeve? Only 26 days until we find out!!

As long as it doesn't have the death wobble, has good on road mannerism, and doesn't pour a gallon of water on you when you open the door in or after a rain I'm good. Sorry but I won't accept "it's a Bronco thing" with a $45k+ vehicle.

As far as what they have "up their sleeve", I think at this point there won't be too many surprises. We've see most everything it has to offer in the leaks. My biggest curiousity is the method and ease of top and door removal.

I thought that front dig was pretty tricky for a production vehicle.Factory roll bar and winch would be a nice surprise.

Or at least a winch ready bumper.

That’s a bold statement, and it’s exciting to think it might live up to the hype after all.

I think there have been enough leaks to rule out SFA and V8 engine options, which would be the only crazy surprises that could be left.

At this point I think the reveal will just confirm a bunch of cool features and confirm the engine variations. I’m personally still hoping for the 494 hp 3.0 hybrid from the Aviator, but I’m going to be stoked to just see all the small innovations they’ve put in to it we haven’t even heard of yet.

Perfect color combo in my opinion. Reminds me of the color of my 2001 Ranger edge I bought new, Bright Island Blue Metallic! 2.7 liter eco boost or bigger is a must!! I really don’t want a 4 cylinder!!

Isn't that one of the pics from the grabber blue render? Didn't really think those pics looked like grabber. Now this!!!

The blue Bronco I post looks like the blue flame from the Raptor. The 2010 Raptor in Blue Flame with the graphics on the side is my all time favorite color!BBD83BCF-90B0-4A28-A267-A385DDC7FA4E.jpeg

Been years ago but have been to the facility where Ford buys the competitive vehicle and dissects them. Doubt that has changed!

I’m still interested in seeing what the convoy feature, or whatever it was called, is all about.

I’m excited to see it all. And think Ford is going for it and won’t pull a “Blazer” failure on us!!

The Blazer wasn't the first time GM embarrassed themselves with a nameplate revival. Remember the 1985 Nova? Of course Ford is guilty as well. The Mercury Cougar.

I don't think we have anything like those to worry about. I'm pretty sure the new Bronco will do the nameplate justice

Lol, of for sure. Blazer was just a close/recent comparison. The Thunderbird was a poor attempt too...

I thought the T-Bird was a decent attempt. At least they went for a retro styling instead of making it a completely different vehicle.

I don't know why these dumb companies insist on reinventing the wheel, they should have copied one of the old T-Bird bodies completely and stuffed it with a modern engine and drivetrain. That's kind of close to the new Bronco, so Maybe Ford has finally figured it out.

If Ford made a new 1964 Mustang that wasn't $100k, I'd probably buy that.
