I went to the car show yesterday and asked one of the Ford reps if she had any info on the New Bronco. She replied, "That'll be out in 2020". I asked if they had any pics of the new design. She responded, "Have you seen Rampage? There's a new Bronco in that movie, but the new one is likely to be different" I was surprised they would even mention the 15 year old concept.

Just someone who knows nothing trying to be relevant.

You have MORE relevance than any of them but don’t let that go to your head!

Went back a few pages and did not see this rendering yet. This one I would test drive. It shares a lot with my wifes FJ Cruiser.

Them tires are huge $$$

I wish people would stop putting out renderings that use f150 headlights/grill/tailgate. The one thing we know is that it will be based on the ranger platform.

Well it looks really cool but if Ford doesn't make the new Bronco at least somewhat nostalgic towards our classic styling then they've missed the mark and they missed a huge opportunity they can always grow the Bronco into the full size platform or look in the future just like they did the first time around

Maybe this is why the bronco is so far behind schedule

Ford is apparently spending millions designing a mattress ???

haha, they definitely need to get on with it

Little FYI---talked with my cousin today who works for a aluminum casting company here in the deep south...the have contracts with several manufacturers for engine blocks, cylinder heads, battery boxes for ev vehicles...his little nugget: they have the contract to cast the block for the new bronco 2, or as we will know it ford "maverick", they are also casting the battery boxes for a ev mustang and one other ford product.

The two times Ford has used that name for an SUV so far it has been an Escaplorer kind of thing.
So no point getting your hopes up.

eb-nutt1 · Feb 22, 2019

Promise my hopes are not up...it will supposedly be a unibody SUV, smaller in size than the escape...was just enforming the group about a SUV loosely connected to the bronco that is going to hit the market

They will definitely start off small and make it larger and more powerful with the next gen

That’s pretty standard way of increasing sales

Nostalgia is their best defense against the Japanese and Korean companies

Otherwise the big three can’t compete , the Asian cars are cheaper and more reliable
Plus they are fixing to be the ONLY passenger cars you can buy

Ford is abandoning that market and giving it to Honda Toyota and Kia because they can’t compete

It appears that maybe we should be waiting for the new bronco to see what updates the ranger will get, rather than looking at the ranger for clues about the bronco.

That has been my prediction all along. The Ranger that has been around in other markets is due for a make over. They easily and cheaply build and sell the existing Ranger platform here in the states. Then upgrade it along with the new Bronco.

I believe they bring out the Bronco and at the same time bring out a new Ranger.

gnsteam · Feb 23, 2019

That sounds pretty logical to me. But I'm afraid, I may not be able to wait that long. I'm seriously looking at the new Gladiator. Even if the new Bronco is a hit. I will have to give up my F150 to make the purchase. I want to get into doing some overland camping, and I feel I need to have some form of a truck for everyday use. So the Gladiator is looking like a good fit for my plans. I have a great original 76 Bronco, but with the increasing value of the Bronco. I'm becoming less comfortable with the idea of wheeling it anymore. So If I go this route,there is nothing in the budget for a new Bronco.

I just hope the new bronco gets the new 3.5 ecoboost engine. Drove a new expedition the other and that thing was quick. I was very surprised of the power.

bronconut73 · Feb 23, 2019

It sounds like it might be a new version of that 2.7 L dual turbo V6

Ford has a habit of doing a makeover and selling the new gen everywhere in the world but here
And selling the yesterdays news old gen here

They did it with the Focus
Europe got the new one and we got the one that ford stopped selling in Europe
We were always 5-8 years behind the rest of the world

Don’t they make crew cab turbo diesel manual transmission rangers here and sell them everywhere except here ?

I got a friend that works at a port and he seems to think thats the case
