Tons of 2021 Ford Bronco Sport models hidden away at Michigan plant

The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport is already filling dealer lots after the new all-terrain crossover goes into production at the Ford Hermosillo assembly plant in Mexico on October 26.^e, 2020. However, Ford Authority Recently spotted a large number of 2021 Ford Bronco Sport models sitting outside the Ford Michigan assembly plant, where the Ford Rangers and Ford Broncos are produced.

While it may seem odd at first glance, it is likely that these Ford Bronco Sport models were completed at the Hermosillo factory and then shipped to Michigan as a stopping point for distribution to dealers. Either way, we bet this show has been confusing for at least a few people who have been there for the last few days.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen new Blue Oval products fill parking lots. In the past few weeks, thousands of 2021 Ford F-150 models have been spotted at the Detroit Metro Airport and Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant (as well as surrounding properties). According to Ford, these new pickups are preliminary production models awaiting final quality checks before being shipped to dealers.

Meanwhile, the Bronco Sport, which shares a platform with the Ford Escape but differs in dimension from this crossover, has proven very popular with buyers so far. Ford actually expects it to sell more than its big brother – the 2021 Ford Bronco – despite the fact that more than 190,000 people lost $ 100 to reserve the latter.

One advantage of the Bronco Sport over the Bronco is uptime, however. Buyers can buy a sport now, while the regular Bronco faces yet another delay due to supplier issues related to COVID-19. The big Bronco also recently received a price increase which, along with the delay, caused some reservation holders to cancel plans to purchase one. The Bronco Sport has also received a price increase recently, albeit a modest one.

We’ll have more on the Bronco Sport very soon, so make sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for more information on Bronco Sport and 24-hour Ford news coverage.
