More Bronco hear say.

Honestly...

If i didnt have my big camper to tote around....id be in line for one.

Base models start at 28k according to ford.com, so figure low 30s isnt bad. Plus i like the "basic" look of the base model.

The Bronco Truck!

That's interesting... not exactly what I'd hoped for.

They sure do know how to keep secrets.

Nothing about the slide they showed references Bronco Pickup.

That could be a pickup, a full size Bronco, a new Excursion, or something smaller then the Ecosport.

I did see somewhere that the Ranger emoji was back on a future project. I've looked at some much information... I don't remember where I seen it.

 

[Uncle Gump]

It's actually on the Ford website under future vehicles. I figured it was a place holder for the next Gen Ranger.

That's a good watch on the crawler gear...

It seems this Bronco truck talk hasn't died yet either... this story was up... then taken down. But there is a cached version. Not sure what to even believe anymore when this comes up.

Who knows anymore... the more I think about it though... I would wait and buy one.

Stupid thought that just hit me last night.

2.3 Duratech and 2.3 Ecoboost share transmission bellhousings, that is how people have been swapping that family engine into Rangers (only the 2.0 AFAIK)

Soo... could one find a dead or dying Bronco, nab the 7 speed and swap it into a Duratech truck and gain the creeper gear?

Hopefully they just added one more hidden bolt to foil future @PetroleumJunkie412

Sorta like when he tried his hardest to put this bolt in after doing his clutch?

If you push on a bellhousing bolt hard enough, eventually it makes its own hole
