Ford<\/a> isn’t scheduled to release the highly awaited 2021 Bronco until next spring for the standard model and this December for the First Edition units. But workers at the assembly line have already begun building test vehicles to check for possible issues before the full production begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This marks the first time a Ford Bronco has rolled off the assembly line in 24 years, albeit being just a test build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bronco Nation shared the first photos from the pre-production at the Michigan Assembly Plant, where the upcoming Ford Ranger is also set to be built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first batch of units will serve as advanced hand-built prototypes, which the automaker will use for demonstration purposes. These units will also help engineers determine if there are necessary changes in the model before the official production begins in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this latest update, it seems things are slowly falling into place for Ford and the revived Bronco, so there is no reason for worry for the 165,000 customers who successfully secured their reservations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also recently, Ford announced it will be offering the Bronco’s Sasquatch Package with a manual transmission. The package was initially planned to carry just an automatic transmission; however, customer demand for a manual drivetrain led to the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2021 Bronco<\/a> will be built with a two-door and four-door layout, equipped with either a 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo-four that makes 270 horsepower or a 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 that delivers 310 horsepower. Both variants will be offered with a standard seven-speed manual transmission, while a 10-speed automatic will be available as an option, but customers opting for the V6 will only get an automatic.
