For us, here at the Daily Car Blog, only two Ford’s exist and they are the F150 and Ford GT. Everything else Ford makes is not worth covering. The Marstang? never. The Marstang blatantly copy/pastes the design language of the Aston Martin DB9. But here’s the deal folks, Ford actually makes some really good engines, it can do great things. However, our problem with Ford stems from interactions with the sniveling two-faced plonkers over at Ford’s UK PR division. If a PR division acts like a pack of deranged Hyenas and can not represent itself in a good light, how on earth can they represent their brand?
Deplorably is the answer. High caliber people doing lazy and feckless low caliber work. Sounds familiar. Nevertheless, we are taking some interest in the Ford Bronco. Simply because it’s a slow news day and genuinely because we do like it a lot. And if Ford UK can not send out an enthusiastic enough message (they are simply not capable) we’ll do it for them. The idiots.
And it seems a lot of people are enthusiastic about the all-new Ford Bronco, 190,000 customers in the USA have placed online reservations. Ford revealed that the Bronco Wildtrak accounts for 26 percent of pre-orders followed by the Bronco Badlands. The Bronco has a 6 model lineup and a starting price of $28,500 for the Base model. It’s actually called Base. Prices rise to $46,980 for the top of the range Wildtrak.
The limited-edition and fully loaded First Edition has an asking price of $57,410. Admittedly that’s way too much to pay for a Ford. Personally, I would choose the $33,385 Big Bend. It has a good amount of equipment, although I would spec the sound-deadening roof option. Thankfully 4X4 is standard, with the option available of choosing more advanced systems.
The Ford Bronco is visually defined by those massive 32-inch tyres, which gives the entire vehicle a unique rugged 4×4 stance.
