  • Ford has announced that the new Bronco will be officially revealed in July.

  • The 2021 Ford Bronco is targeted at the Jeep Wrangler and will have removable doors and roof.

  • Production has been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, so expect to see them at dealers sometime next year starting at around $30,000.

UPDATE 6/19/20: Ford has moved the Bronco reveal date to July 13 after realizing that the original date coincided with O.J. Simpson's birthday.


UPDATE 6/13/20: Ford has announced that the 2021 Bronco will be revealed on July 9, 2020.

Ford will finally show the 2021 Bronco to the world in July 2020. We've seen spy photos, renderings, and leaked photos of the revived off-roader numerous times leading up to this long-awaited reveal, so the world pretty much already knows what it looks like. But now we'll finally get all the details.

Ford announced that the company was going to bring back the famous Bronco name way back in 2017, and before the coronavirus pandemic struck, the new Bronco was set to debut in the spring of 2020. The Bronco will go up against the popular Jeep Wrangler, and like its competitor, it will have boxy styling, high ground clearance, removable doors and roof, and a rear-mounted spare tire. We also know that it'll have circular LED running lights and the Bronco nameplate across the grille.

We expect the Bronco's base engine to be a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder, with a twin-turbo 2.7-liter V-6 as an option. However, there's no doubt that Ford could offer an even more powerful engine for, let's say, an even more capable Raptor variant. There's also word that there will be a manual-transmission option, something the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator both offer.

Ford hasn't given a specific date for the highly anticipated reveal of the new Bronco, but at least we know that we don't have to wait much longer. Expect to see the 2021 Bronco hit dealers sometime next year with a starting price around $30,000.
