Did Ford get pressured into releasing the Bronco prematurely?

Absolutely not.This thing should have been out years ago.Just the opposite, they have been holding back.

Ford released this when they thought they could make a profit. They didn't get pressured into anything. If they thought they could manufacture something and sell it for more than it cost to produce, they'd release it...and they did. You and I didn't force Ford to become a profitable corporation. Now, is Ford pressuring you to buy a Bronco?

Nope, not at all .. just seems like there are already a number of issues that are arising that never should be allowed to have happened, especially this quickly... just made me wonder if they started cutting more corners than usual in order to get them out the door

Also keep in mind that vehicle forums will bring out nearly every complaint or problem, and hardly ever any compliments or praise. When I bought my 2003 F250 with the new 6.0l, it wasn't long and I was on some of the diesel forums. The 6.0l did have problems in general for most, but there were a lot of good ones too, I had a good one. If I ever mentioned not having problems, folks would just flat out call me a liar lol. I don't know the total number of delivered broncos as of today, but when we see the complaints and problems compared to the total number of broncos out there, it will still be a low percentage I would imagine. The complaints do make it easy to trend what the common problems are for sure. Every little stitch in the upholstery will show up on a forum as a complaint, so keep that in mind, and prepare yourselves lol.

There is a certain amount of pressure yes, but more along the lines of down stream suppliers hoping and praying to stay afloat. They hope and pray that they can produce the numbers and quality that they promised, at a price point that will be profitable. Just like Ford is. With the “produce it as they go system“, one small hiccup in the food chain and everyone goes hungry. And I am starving

Look how fast they did the Ranger. They announced it and in a short time it was out.they were working to make a profit.Not sure what they are trying to do with the Bronco.

Technically the Bronco should have been to market even faster because it borrowed power trains from other vehicles.The frame architecture was borrowed from the Ranger,the Dana 44 axle has been around since the 40s, mechanically there is not much that had to be developed.
