Shortly after a series of images leaked showcasing the all-new Ford Bronco, it appears as though the SUV will be unveiled to the world on March 18, the Bronco6G forums indicate.

Ford recently sent out a bulletin regarding the Bronco to its dealerships across the U.S. In this bulletin, Ford writes that “March 18th will be a big day for Bronco! We will have more exciting news to share with you then.”

While Ford doesn’t mention in the dealership bulletin where the unveiling of the new Bronco will be, forum members believe it could take place at the Sun Valley Film Festival in Idaho running from March 18-22. The event is sponsored by Ford and a look at the event calendar reveals that Main St. in Ketchum, Idaho will be closed off to celebrate the return of the Bronco on the evening of the 20th.

Just a couple of days ago, a handful of photos surfaced online showing the new Bronco in both four- and two-door configurations. As we had long expected, the rugged SUV adopts a boxy shape and is more than fitting of the Bronco name. Some of the most striking elements of the new Bronco’s design are flared wheel arches, LED headlights and daytime running lights, and a roof that can be completely removed, just like the Jeep Wrangler.

Details regarding the available powertrains of the 2021 Bronco remain unconfirmed but the base model is tipped to receive a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with roughly 270 hp and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque. A larger 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 with 325 hp and 400 lb-ft (542 Nm) may also be available.
