2021 Bronco = Spring board to the 2023 Ranger

[Ramcharger90]

Where does a Bronco Ranger fit into this?

Lone Ranger?

This is still just a render... but the claim is that it is 99% accurate.... who knows... but WHAT!?!?!?!

I'll take two please!

So Lee Iacocca was attracted to horses?

Mustang was named for the concept car which was named for a WWII fighter aircraft.

I’ll say 75-80% accurate... I see stuff that would be impossible compared to the undercover one we’ve seen.
Ford won’t have that overhang at the top of the windshield... that’s bad for fuel economy.
I’ll have one in 2 years... just enough time to work out the bugs and come out with the special “Raptor, Tremor, Lightning, Rock Monster” version.

I'm most likely a end of year two buyer myself... I want one bad... but I assume I will be waiting for some year end deals.

Going to be exciting seeing these trim levels and aftermarket support come to market. I may end up low end trim and just modify it myself... but who knows.

Yes... yes the P51-D which used the Rolls Royce Merlin V16 same as the British Spitfire and like 40 other aircraft. which the p51was the only piston driven fighter to shoot down a me262.


I still think Lee was the original Brony

It also had the Allison engine and the first ME262 was actually shot down by a Spitfire. It wasn't really rocket science to shoot one down, find their base and wait. They were all but helpless on takeoff and landing. In a traditional dogfight the ME262 wasn't that great so they avoided it (they couldn't recover speed well during maneuvers, and the throttles had to be slowly controlled to not flame out the engines) and piston planes couldn't catch them if they were smart about it. So the vast majority of german jet kills were when they were taking off or landing.

The first two kills were actually by P-47's, they got into a turning match which ended up with both 262's crashing on their own. They didn't actually get "shot down" though.

For the 4 door fans...

There is a lot that is wrong with these last couple renders... but they sure have me dreaming again.

 

[Dirtman]

That's alot of wiper blades...

 

[Uncle Gump]

Yeah… it appears when you get the two additional doors... you get the bonus third wiper.

IFS isn't ideal for off road for sure. Again, speculation on my part, Ford is going after what the larger market share is going to use it for and that isn't going to be off road. You might be right on SAS projects being done to rectify that issue.

For a vehicle such as this, the larger market will almost certainly want a solid axle.
Toyota tried it with IFS already, and, well, the FJ Cruiser is no longer with us anymore due to it selling a single unit for every 10 (much more crudely built) Jeep Wranglers (of course feeling like you're in a cave inside it didn't help either).

However, if the new Bronco chassis remains in any way similar to the T6 Ranger chassis (on which the Troller T4 is also allegedly based on), there seems a possibility we might get to see both IFS AND a solid axle offered. If so, it will certainly be interesting to see which one sees the higher demand.

I really like the looks of that.

 

[Uncle Gump]

A 2 door popped up yesterday in some spy photos... probably not spied... more likely staged.

 

[Uncle Gump]

The debate over IFS and SFA is alive and gets heated.

Clearly the 2 door shown is IFS. I'm still not sure we won't see a SFA... I don't think Ford has showed it's entire hand just yet.

You guys are going to flame me, but I think that 4 door green "Bronco" is hideous.
Looks like a cross between an old Hummer, A Jeep with squared fenders, and an old IH Scout, but couldn't make up it's mind.
2 door is OK but the 4 door....meh >
