It’s safe to say the all-new 2021 Ford
Bronco and 2021 Ford Bronco Sport are not the best kept secrets in the
automotive world and now we have another reason to say that. A new photo has
surfaced that exposes both new Broncos in all their all-terrain glory. Posted
by a member of the Bronco6G forum, the drone image shows a 2021 Ford Bronco
2-door and 2021 Bronco Sport completely uncovered.
The photo is significant because it marks
the first time a pre-production 2-door Bronco has been spotted wearing no
disguise whatsoever. We can also spot a Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 and a Ford F-150
alongside the two Broncos but, in all likelihood, the pickup trucks were not
there for benchmarking purposes.
A Ford employee offered some insight by
posting this commentary on the forum thread: “They must be filming something
for the reveal. Non-camouflaged vehicles would never be used for development
testing before the reveal. Someone must have snuck a drone over the filming
site. Those Broncos are definitely the real deal.” You may ask why the image
quality is so poor and it may be because the drone was shooting a video at the
time with a wide angle lens and the photo is a still image from that footage.
Anyway, the 2-door Bronco looks really promising
thanks to the rugged proportions, massive off-road wheels and tires filling the
arches nicely, and a dual-tone body featuring what looks like Cyber Orange and
black. The upright windscreen, tailgate-mounted spare wheel and the generous
ground clearance add to the 2021 Bronco’s charm.
As for the 2021 Bronco Sport, it looks
consistent with previous spy photos and sports a two-tone livery too. The
optional roof rack makes it look adventurous, though the Escape-based SUV can’t
really compare with the full-size Bronco in that respect. Ford will officially
unveil the 2021 Bronco on July 13 and there’s a good chance the 2021 Bronco
Sport will also debut on the same day.
