I had the opportunity of previewing the iconic Ford Bronco in Kansas City, as it makes a comeback after 25 years. I and my husband love to travel and our fair share of adventure, and also love our SUVs. When we saw that the new Bronco was just loaded for adventure, it made our weekend. We previewed the Bronco Badlands and Bronco Big Bend. While both are amazing, we are in love with the Bronco Badlands. Years ago, we had done some slick rock driving/off-road driving, in Elephant Hill, Canyon Lands, in Utah. At that time, we had rented a modified SUV. At that time, there was no Bronco Badlands! The iconic classic can transform from a city car, in downtown, to a rock climber in the canyons, in a second! While you can drive up to brunch with your girlfriends, you can also plan, all family vacations, in the wild, keeping the reimagine cult classic - Bronco 2021! Did I mention the 31-inch wheels! 
I am a person of color, and I use my space to highlight other persons of color, whenever I get the opportunity. The earliest sketches for the Bronco, dated July 24, 1963, were developed by designer McKinley Thompson, the first African American automobile designer working for Ford. How cool is that! Ford is introducing a new outdoor brand with its all-4x4 family of Bronco two-door, first-ever Bronco four-door, and smaller Bronco Sport models – all engineered with Built Wild™ Extreme Durability Testing, Capability and Innovative Design principles for segment-leading levels of off-road performance and dependability. As I mentioned earlier, the brand new Bronco was in Kansas City, last weekend! Auto shows have been put on hold, and consumers all across haven't had a chance to see the new Bronco.

Bronco
holds a special place in popular culture and has been featured in more than
1,200 films and 200 songs. Since Ford ended production in 1996, Bronco SUVs
have continued to grow in popularity with collectors and enthusiasts. With the
January 2017 announcement of the return of Ford Bronco, valuations have
skyrocketed, according to Barrett-Jackson Auction Company, with the average
first-generation Bronco sale price nearly doubling from $39,763 to $74,820 in
just more than three years. Hagerty valuation guide ranks 1966-77 Broncos as
among the highest vehicle price increases of all collectible SUVs over the past
three years – a 75.8 percent gain.
