More Bronco hear say.

[Uncle Gump]

I agree with the above...

Seems instead of creating a name for their "Brand" they're already trying to just blend it in.

Should have been an exclusive name.

Bronco War Horse

Outlaw could be good too but may not pass the PC committee.

Meant wild horse back in the day.

Not RHD and it's pretty square... with what appears to be an F150 Grille.

It sure has the fat fender/tire part down.

sure wish you would have got a picture of what you saw.

Gump....The fat bastard broncos have 37 in tires....and at least one has what I guess are good year 40,s..bigger then 37 and it may have been a f150 sized truck....it was darkish...it was on a trailer on 275 heading south from sibely...I was pulling up the exit when they were turning on.....almost followed but we were running late. If I get to go home Saturday..I am guessing there will be tons of platform trucks roaming the roads.

Make sure your camera has new batteries and fresh film!

Yeah... I've seen the camo'd up Warthog/Raptor Bronco's on 37's. I think I heard 4WP was working on getting a lift/body panels for 40's.... but I'm sure most aftermarket folks are doing the same. Still blows my mind how much Ford put into the Bronco for the off road crowd... with a factory warranty.

I'm really hoping with your connections you can get a bit of info on the next gen Rangers. If they don't do a 2 door Bronco pick up... I'm probably going to be in the market for new Ranger. The Bronco will come after when the used market arrives.

 

[bobbywalter]

Big changes at ford.....and from my preview....not ideal.

 

[85_Ranger4x4]

Whatever demographic I am in for trucks... I ain't on their radar.

What camera?

 

[Uncle Gump]

I saw over on the other site there was 18 pages of chatter and disbelief that they would receive the email.

That place is toxic... it's hard to even look at most times.

And that is what I was afraid of...

My wife found a ladies fb Bronco group and is having fun with them. They stay a lot more upbeat than the forums... I don't know how/why.

It’s probably just me but I’m not a fan of 37s on a vehicle the size of the Bronco. I’m sure there is enough of a demand that many disagree. I’m just not into the Hot Wheels look.

But Jeeps do it.

As backwards as Ford is, at least they seem to be making an honest attempt to compete with Jeep.

The Raptor idea is stupid. Give it it's own name. It's just like the Mustang Mach-E. Calling that a Mustang was stupid. They chose to use a popular brand name to help sell it. That car should have it's own name, and Ford should offer a true electric Mustang.

A Bronco pickup is another stupid idea. Why have two midsize trucks? Literally competing against yourself. Take the Bronco engineering, mix some F150 and Bronco in a blender, and create a new Ranger that will outsell Gladiator and Tacoma.

Or just get rid of Ranger all together. But having a Bronco truck is lame. Jeep doesn't have a Wrangler pickup. Why would Ford have a Bronco pickup. LOL.

I say give the Bronco a bed and call it a Ranger.

There was a time when Ford lead the way. Sometimes now I feel like they just copy everyone else instead of being out front.

In the end, the F150 is still the best selling pickup, and that's what Ford really cares most about.

If I was President of Ford, I'd be firing some people.
