This is the one vehicle on the horizon I might consider trading for. Can't wait to see it!
Wheel arches look good, I see a rear mounted spare tire, and my fingers are crossed for something that's not FJ Cruiser-ish with goofy styling and boatloads of plastic trim...
Unfortunately Ford is a huge supporter of plastic trim. I just bought my wife a new Ford Edge and the bottom 1/3 of the vehicle is all plastic. That being said I've already torn it apart for some audio upgrades and I was VERY impressed with the standards and tolerances they have these days for their component construction. The fasteners inside the door panels were top notch, the sealing of all the door interior components and under hood items was excellent and the routing of electrical harnesses and the mounting of the components was well thought out. Everything was very solid, even the plastic stuff.
We had an edge and it was a very solid car with the exception of the major transmission issues that every owner dealt with and ford refused to admit there was. Only on the first 2 years the car was made btw. Literally needed 2 sensors changed and the issue was gone. FYI.Unfortunately Ford is a huge supporter of plastic trim.

Not surprised. Overall build quality has increased tenfold across the Big 3. I just hope it looks good, and that the top comes off![]()
There were reports floating around on the inter-web that there will not be a 2 version of the Bronco. That pic looks promising
