New Bronco - press conf from Ford

[Nobody]

There's a bit of a problem with door/top seam. No upper door frame, and the top overhangs the door opening. I don't see that being the case. Overall it's a good rendering.

Looks like the old Scout to me.

Bleh. Reminds me of those giant wall clocks you see for sale at Target that are made to look vintage and like they are driven by gears, but is really just a facade of cheap plastic.

And this is why Ford will not be able to make everyone happy. I think 90% of us would be happy with that and then 10% would pick it apart.

Not sure they are going to make a 4,500lb metal beast with solid axels and a carbureted engine.

I could live with that!

Might have to grow on me. "at first glance"

The rear wheel well back is definitely Scout II!

We need someone to produce the concept body to fit the EB frame!

Kind of a cool concept. I agree that with a few of its rounded edges - its' very Scout-like, but I still like it. Sure doesn't take much tweaking here or there to make a difference. Sorry for the tangent, but ever notice how an early bronco looks like a 90s Defender with just the BC Bronco 'squared' soft top?

I would say that the Defender 90 looks like an early Bronco with a BC soft top, rather than saying it the other way around.
I remember the first time I saw one thinking 'That looks a lot like a Bronco'.

You are absolutely 1000% correct! My bad.

I want 5x5.5 rims!!!

It's definitely better than some of the renderings I've seen. Also not as good as some I've seen. Overall I like the shape. I hope the long hood houses some good muscle. I wonder if the new Bronco will come with a cage like the wrangler does.

For liability I don't see this happening. Too much temptation to put expired wheels on a new rig and drive it like you stole it. Ford changed the pattern on the Super Duty's in 1999 so there was a break in re-use of wheels for starters. 1997 F150 saw this, then again in 2004.

RE: New Bronco?

Is this new or an old one? From Texas Hill Country Facebook page.

Old.

Motorweek or Road and Track had a recent sneak peak.
It was the new Bronco under a tarp. Apparently It Is being debuted at the Big Auto Show this Fall (New York?).
The silhouette that you can see has great dimensions. From the looks department it sounds like they were listening to us.
The large wheel wells look like a 33 would fit stock.

Looks a little too much like a blast from the wrong past...

Time will tell for sure

I like the Road and Track guess much better than the 6G. Now if they will just give me that removable bulkhead and a half cab option....
