Ford Bronco to Premiere on July 9th
The wild returns with new Ford cars for sale on Thursday, July 9th! Ford confirmed that the new 2020 Bronco will make its worldwide debut this July due to delays from COVID-19. The Bronco premiere was first confirmed at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show, with a premiere originally scheduled for March 18th 2020. Sadly, COVID-19 pushed the date back all the way into July. This iconic new Ford for sale will be assembled in Wayne, Michigan at Ford’s Assembly Plant, right where the original Bronco began. Ford has kept the new Bronco tightly under wraps, but with Bronco’s shining history, it’s sure to be a hit.
Ford enthusiasts will long recognize the Bronco name. This SUV started life in 1966 and left the market 30 years later, to the disappointment of fans everywhere. Five generations of Broncos had thrilled Ford enthusiasts, truck lovers, and car & truck magazines for years. Bronco wowed them all with its flexibility, able to function as an ORV, family vehicle, or farm truck. It helped that the Bronco came in three styles: roadster, pickup, and wagon. Although these three styles helped the image of capability shown by a Bronco, most pegged it as a truck. However, the Bronco ended its run as more of an SUV, capable of on-or-off roading. By the end of the Bronco era, customers had seen the engine shift to a capable V-6, reach a top speed of 100 miles per hour, numerous design changes (including the addition of the Ford logo on the grille), and the change from a removable to a fixed hard roof. It changed with the times, but still couldn’t hold up when it came to competition between Ford and Chevrolet. Thus, the Ford Expedition was born while the Bronco faded away.
Now, the world-wide showing for the new Ford Bronco revival is set for July 9th, 2020. Since the original Bronco held up so well, with customers still loving their original vehicles to this day, the announcement couldn’t come soon enough for lovers of new Ford cars. The modified date was first mentioned in a tweet by Ford on June 13th. The iconic day also happens to fall on O.J. Simpson’s birthday. According to Ford’s North America product communications manager, Mike Levine, this was purely coincidental. It does put a damper on Ford’s celebration, but the return of the Bronco will still inspire joy from Ford enthusiasts.
There are limited pictures depicting the elusive 2020 Bronco, but it will be an echo of the original 1966 version. The Bronco will continue its offroader origins, going up against the Jeep Wrangler and Toyota 4Runner. It will have a solid rear axle, air roof, and a 4×4 build with body-on-frame. A smaller Bronco Sport will be available. It will have a 4-door body that’s similar to the Ford Bronco. Sales for the Bronco’s two versions (four-door vs. two-door) will start next year. All in all, we’re sure that it will be an astounding new Ford vehicle that will delight customers all over the world.
