The 2016 Ford Bronco is still a rumor up to this day, more than a year after reports came out of it on the internet on April 1, 2014. Accordingly, it was an April Fool’s Day joke that went viral and eventually bred a lot of other versions.
As the American carmaker Ford Motor Company has yet to make a formal announcement or statement to either confirm or deny the rumors about the 2016 Ford Bronco, each information going around on the worldwide web is merely speculation at this time.
However, it does not prevent readers and car enthusiasts from appreciating some of the information being made on the 2016 Ford Bronco, especially with the fact that most of them look pretty solid.
After all, it is quite difficult to come up with a hoax that is purely based on one’s imagination of a vehicle. The details have to be culled from some authentic source which is why some of the reports on the 2016 Ford Bronco appear real as real can be.
While most of the reports and rumors on the 2016 Ford Bronco focus on the specifications and features of the pickup truck, the Ford Concept 2016 website was among the first to come out with details regarding the expected SRP of the vehicle if and when it finally comes out.
The site said that the price of the 2016 Ford Bronco shall approximate that of the 2015 Ford F-150 crew cab pickup truck, which is currently being sold in the retail market at $45,950.
Exterior and interior features
The exterior of the new 2016 Ford Bronco shall reportedly be very sexy and attractive. It has been reported time and again that it will be developed based on the Ford Atlas platform, with major influence from the 2004 model.
It shall also feature more curves and an impressive aerodynamic design to give it a whole new impression. The 2016 Bronco shall also have some aggressive and masculine chrome bumpers, brand new taillights, and improved and elegant LED headlights, linked to its modern and alluring fog lights.
In terms of interiors, it will be comfortable and spacious, to provide for a higher level of luxury to its five passengers including the driver. It will have the MyFord infotainment system featuring a beautiful and wide LCD screen, brand new audio system, navigation and other high-tech features.
Uncharacteristic lull in social media
After an uncharacteristic momentary lull in posting news and updates regarding the supposed 2016 Ford Bronco, the Facebook page of the vehicle carrying the name of 2016 Ford SVT Bronco is back with an update sometime in June.
The Facebook page has been regularly posting updates on the 2016 Ford Bronco since December last year through news feeds on the internet that usually comes with images of the upcoming truck with the trimmings of an SUV.
There have been countless reports and posts on the 2016 Ford SVT Bronco Facebook page, with some of them running in contrast to one another so it’s up to the readers to actually discern which are true and accurate, and which are not.
Perusing through the posts on its Facebook page, it can be gleaned that 2016 Ford SVT Bronco has began posting about the supposed vehicle beginning on December 6, 2014, all the way to April 1, 2015.
Subsequently, on April 2, 2015, a post was made on the Facebook page but it is no longer about the 2016 Ford Bronco but already about the 2017 Ford Bronco.
Since then, it can be noticed that the same Facebook page has no longer posted anything at all about the 2016 Ford Bronco until June 21 when it made another update on the vehicle in between reports on the 2017 Ford Bronco.
