Ford Gives Bronco Plant Workers An Up Close Look At What They Will Be Building

John Tracy, 63, has Tuesdays off at Ford Motor's Michigan Assembly plant in Wayne, where he assembles the Ranger midsize pickup. 

But this Tuesday, Tracy came to the factory anyway. The hulking 6-foot-1 general assembly line worker, brought his petite 4-foot-9 wife, Lorrie, 63, with him. The couple stood in the blazing sun for a half hour just for a glimpse of the 2021 Bronco SUVs he will build next spring.

The wait will be insufferable.

Current plan: Buy a used jeep, tool around for a year or two, then dump it and get the Bronco after the initial frenzy has worn off (and Ford has had a year to fix whatever 1st year issues arise).

I'd take a 1st year Bronco over a used Jeep. We're committed to selling at list.

I go back and forth on it, but realistically we're talking Bronco delivery in 12 months at best.
