Remember how the Blue Oval presented the “Bronco Nation” as an “independent online community” for both owners and enthusiasts back in July last year when it shared the news that its reinvented Bronco was turning into a new outdoor-focused sub-brand? That’s another way of saying they’re backing them up – including with first looks at the hot stuff.
Case in point, here’s the first don't call it a spotting of a 2021 2-Door Bronco nailing all the high-end goodies, including the limited-series (and sold-out) First Edition, casually dressed up in the exclusive Lightning Blue exterior hue and sporting a matching Navy Pier interior.
Just in case any of the reservation holders back out at the last moment – or out of pure boredom for waiting so long on the first deliveries – getting the 2021 Bronco in such a particular configuration would incur charges of at least $58,905, according to the Build & Price online configuration tool.
Granted, there wouldn’t be too many options to add because the flagship trim is beefed up with most of the goodies. Those include the Sasquatch or Ford Co-Pilot360 packages, connected navigation with SYNC 4, or the beefiest driveline possible featuring the 4x4 system with “automatic on-demand engagement,” the rear locking diff, the 2.7-liter EcoBoost, and the ten-speed auto.
All in all, one could add a different (sometimes at extra cost, if Rapid Red or Cyber Orange are selected) color, though we have a feeling the exclusive Lightning Blue makes a clear collector’s case for itself. Then, all that's left are the $1,895 modular hard top in shadow black (if the MIC doesn’t do the trick), the wheel lock kit ($90), engine block heater ($100), keyless entry keypad ($110), and the towing kit ($595).
We have seen many prototypes of the 2021 Bronco by now, and it’s easy to see when something is amiss – for example, we love how this First Edition looks out into the “wild” (it looks like the back of the factory, so this "wild" is pretty tame), basking in the sun with the top off.
Still, that hasn’t stopped us from noticing that the First Edition decals are missing as the Blue Oval probably didn’t have time to add them. We don’t think they are dropping them because they’re still featured in the configurator (and we bundled a few CGI shots in the gallery for confirmation).
