Ford accepting refundable $100 deposits on 2020 Bronco

Ive driven fords for the last 12 years but given the news coming out about Ford Foundation (Ford family member on the board pulling strings) giving millions of dollars to BLM and other defund the police organizations, i'll be going elsewhere. I love fords, but i put my money where my mouth is, quite literally. My brother in law has a sick ass '66 bronco resto-mod that i love. I'd find one of those before buying a new ford anything.

I had not heard that. That is disturbing as I own 3 f350s and an F150 that are getting old and all I have bought is ford or jeep for the last 30 years. Who do we like now?

Pretty hard to stomach the Ford Foundation, and I don't blame you for your choice.

Until recently I could have answered your objection that that family member had no affiliation with the actual FoMoCo. But Googleing to check my facts before shooting off my mouth I sadly found that you are correct and that now there is a Ford who works at FoMoCo on the board of the Ford foundation.

I'll probably keep buying Fords, so long as they are sending my pension check on time every month.

Lol.. thats a great question. A lightly used Ford from a non ford dealership.

Obama Motors (GM)
Fiat (dodge)
or Toyota? I guess we could start bicycling to the LGS, though I'm pretty sure few really want to see me in bicycle shorts.

You beat me to it. I was about to mention all those facts. Nissan and Toyota seem to be the logical choices i guess.. idk.. I wish Honda made a real truck instead of the faggy ridgeline bull shit. That fucker would last forever AND would retain serious resale value.
 
My current truck. Last new ford i'll ever buy.

I saw Musk making fun of socialists... I wonder how big of a diesel generator I would need to tow to feed that 3 motor cybertruck? I have solar at the ranch already so electric has tempted me in the past.

Can't get away from everything! Didn't Nissan's and Toyoto's families bomb our ships in Pearl Harbor?
 
Tried to make a deposit yesterday but the site kept crashing. I'll go try again now. Sucks you can't really pick your dealer unless you play zip code roulette and hopefully land on one you like.

Badlands w/ the 2.7 and 10 speed w/ the High package. seems like the sweet spot for me.

2 door or 4?
 
2 door or 4?

4 door. Better overall for driving, pulling a trailer, putting shit in. If you need a tight trail runner, the 2 door is ideal. Other than that, whatever pleases you aesthetically.
 
Is there pricing out yet?
On the link in the op, select the model and it gives the price prior to asking for refundable deposit.

29k to a little over 50. They will likely hold intro price for those with deposit even if sticker price increases.

When I set up the My Ford account to make the deposit it defaulted to the closest dealer, but then by resigning into the account I was able to click on the little head and after a few clicks pick the dealer I currently prefer.

Keep your Ford Foundation Donations.

Dang. I really wanted on too. But I vote w my $
13 years ago when I retired the Ford Foundation did not own any Ford stock. They had sold their their Ford stock when HENRY II and Edsel died. So should Ford make a profit on the sale of Broncos it will not go to the Ford Foundation.

I have been running a Ford S-duty since 2015 with a couple used interceptors prior to that with a pair of other small Fords in the driveway too. They make a tough vehicle for sure but I am really struggling with the Ford Foundation right now too.. I really like the new Bronco but I will have to pass as well. My fearless Governor of WV backed us up to groups of 25 again "requesting"- "MANDATATORY" face masks.. I have called him 3 times and personally am not spending any money I don't have to here in my own state.. ( I am aware that is petty and I am certainly not a high rolling big spender but that is my way of protest..)
I won't support the foundation trying to tear down our police either...!!! If we dig a little, i am sure every large company out there supports something we dont like, I guess that's the "new normal" ...
 
So just talked to the dealer. Because mine has Sasquach package, hardtop, and trailer towing, it will not be made till snow flies at the earliest, most likely next year.
 
The Sasquatch package is an inside company joke. Like the real Sasquatch, it's existence is often rumored but no one will ever get one.
I'll wait without too much fuss or bother. If it starts to get to me I'll just pretend it's a custome rifle, then when it comes it will be a surprise and delight.

All the car companies lean left. But, the Ford Motor Company has no current financial ties to the Ford Foundation. And I have high hopes that the company continues to do well enuf to continue depositing my pension check every month.

I placed an order the first day they allowed it. Since then I gave up due to ridiculous wait times and bought a new F150. So maybe Ford still won but they dropped the ball so hard on the Bronco, lots of people didn't wait. They need to get their shit together.

Yeah, China Virus and government tyrants interference in private business.
 
Seeing the bronco in person is was underwhelming. Looks like a Jeep Compass and a Kia Soul fucked and had a bastard child.

You must have seen a sport, that's not the one being talked about. They are not on the road yet.

The bon is with the soft tops are pretty decent looking. Like a poor mans defender. the colors they are coming in seem very retro. The hard top Broncos looking like a subaru.
 
I've seen several Bronco soft tops, and one or two hard tops. The hard tops have been recalled for issues with the tops.

I would like to drive one to see what it is like.

I plan to do a few upgrades to my Rubi if I don't go that route
 
Well the wife got notice that hers is in production now so hopefully we get it soon. She's ready to get it out to Moab.

I just picked up my 3rd jeep... Got a steal on a used 21 JL rubi and love it so far
This one is also my 3rd...love them. Surprised that there is nothing out yet on the 2022 models.

I am going to give it a big upgrade with tuned FOX shocks, better springs and a few other goodies
 
New Bronco looks like shit.

Definitely kinda a let down for sure... Had huge potential and I think it was rather blah helped steer me back towards Jeep in the end
....

They lost me the most with a non solid front axel and how big of drop the back seats are when folded flat

They are hurting for parts I think. I called dealers as far as 2 states over pricing out a new 22 and all had similar stories. Alot of the electronic packages couldn't be guaranteed or leather on a Rubi...
