[HitandRunDriver]

I read that today on Autoblog....I don't want to get my hopes up just yet but damn, I really would consider a bronco provided it doesn't look like Ford took an ugly stick to it.

"Production of the Bronco is expected to start after the Ranger and no later than 2020, according to a person briefed on the agreement who was not authorized to speak publicly."

Yeah, I heard that freep.com was the authority on new-car news too ... :/

Some people think they are going to rebadge something like this. I hope they are wrong.

It could be worse, at least those are body on frame with ecoboost and diesel options abroad. Don't like that, could be a fusion with bigger tires and gray plastic "offroad flares". I don't see any manufacturer ever going back to SA front & rear

Edit: Personally I kinda like that Everest, so I'm game to see it in Ranger version and 2 dr Bronco version

I can see this being a badge engineered Bronco

Wow!! stepping on Jeep's toes a little with that one? lol

I totally agree! The Bronco needs to come back. As of know, Ford's SUV line is huge and it still needs to Bronco in it, Expedition, Explorer, Edge, Flex. That brings me to my next suggestion, bring back the Excursion, specifically the diesel!

It looks more like a FJ Cruiser.

Gimme this in supercab with 6' bed with bit more aggressive tire (fx4 package)

I don't see the new Bronco being successful in sales if it's target competitor is the Jeep Wrangler. Not saying this isn't awesome that they are bringing it back because it is, but many competitors have targeted the Wrangler and have ended abruptly.

I do quoting of new business for my company and so far there is nothing in the pipeline for anything to quote for a bronco. I currently am quoting the 2018-20 stuff now. If there is a bronco it hasn't been released to quote to suppliers yet.

They should have never dropped the Ranger pickups either. I don't want or need a 22' long truck that sits 7' high in order to have something I can use to haul supplies home from Lowe's.

They dropped the Ranger because it sold for almost as much as an F150.

What do you do if you sell two trucks and you want to protect the number 1 selling truck in America? You stop production on the other one that costs almost as much to build and sell. They weren't selling a ton of them anyway, so they gassed it and concentrated on the F series.

They should kill the Edge and the Flex and revive the Bronco. The Bronco needs to be rear wheel drive in 2WD mode with a high/low range transfer case. It needs a manual transmission (doubtful) too.

If they do in fact build the new Ranger on a tweeked version of the Global Ranger, then will most likely build the Bronco on the same chassis since they appear to be headed to the same production line.
