Ford’s reveal on Monday is very important to many people, including us, and although the COVID-19 pandemic may have delayed the Blue Oval disclosure timeline (along with almost everything else), the pandemic did something that should work pretty well for you: seeing Bronco perform live alongside us.
The coronavirus caused the Bronco reveal to switch to an online format instead of a car show or private event, so now you can relax in your best sweatpants today at 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern and watch The Leaf Come Out What could be the coolest American SUV since Ford stopped slapping Eddie Bauer’s badges? Broncos in the 90s. Perhaps even cooler.
Yes, there was That escape on FridayBut if you are like us, all you did was make yourself even more psyched to see the revelation. We certainly aren’t happy with a single image and you shouldn’t be either. In fact, if you’re excited to see, you’re probably wondering exactly how you should go about seeing Ford reveal its new SUVs. The good news is that it will be easy. You just need to bookmark and revisit this same article (or click this link), and you’ll be in the virtual front row along with all the automotive journalists.
Here’s a leaked photo of the two-door Bronco, just to show you it’s worth getting excited about.

If you don’t want to see the full presentation and just want the highlights, you can check out ABC, ESPN, the National Geographic Channel, and Hulu, which will stream snippets of the holidays during other shows. ABCs will go up during the Country Music Association’s “Best Of Fest”, while ESPN will air during the SportsCenter. NatGeo will be performing during National Parks: Yosemite and Hulu will stream all the different venues along with a curated collection of outdoor and off-road content. That said, your best bet for the longest revealing presentation will be here: Ford is planning a longer presentation on YouTube than on those networks.
If you don’t already know the Bronco, we will offer you a brief review. For starters, the Bronco will return after a quarter-century hiatus to find most of its biggest competitors (Chevrolet Blazer, RamCharger, etc.) pushing up the daisies. Unfortunately for Ford, the Jeep Wrangler is still around, and it has spent the intervening decades sharpening its teeth off-road and making it a much more livable vehicle. There is also a new and very compelling new Land Rover Defender just hitting the market too.
We know that the new Bronco will not only be a unique model, it will be a family. The Broncos will be available in a larger off-road format with a more traditional look and a smaller, more crossover Bronco Sport version. The great Bronco will have a solid rear axle and independent front suspension and will be available in some great colors. Will have a 7-speed manual transmission option as well as a 10-speed automatic, and probably get energy from a 2.3-liter four-cylinder turbocharged or an optional 2.7-liter turbo V6. Baby Bronco will share some of its hardware with the new Ford Escape, but significantly more off-road capability is promised.
Beyond that, you will have to wait until later today when the sheet comes out for more information.
