IMO the Explorer has been a crossover since 2011. (no 2 speed transfer case)
That was the model year the Explorer went from body on frame to unibody, it is a chassis similar to the Taurus.

Tru dat Sir
Have you seen the stock price lately? no one is believing in Ford.
Month ago GM mentions self driving spinoff division or something like that stock shot up 10%. Ford did the same last week, i think they thru out to much info saying its wont happen for 5 years, stock didnt budge, until earnings missed.
Everyone seem to have a hardon for self driving , why buy a car take the bus.

Hard to imagine no one has spotted a "Bronco" out and about doing testing.
They are the same platform.

Ford knows whats good for Ford. They have been doing it long enough. How would you like to have your own buisness and have everyone and their mother tell you how to run it and what you can and cannot do. How is it greed if they invest their own money to make money? Greed is the pepole who want to force others to bend to their wishes rather than work for it themselves.
There is almost zero market for a 2 door SUV. Hell I its hard to even casually see a new generation 2 door Wrangler, they are almost all 4dr. The new Raptors? I have the only "2 door" (SCAB) Raptor I have seen. Even though the shorter frame/wheelbase and lighter weight makes it superior off road, they are all being ordered as 4 doors.
A front straight axle? I love my Bronco, but today I was up in the woods in the Raptor and was tooling along on rutted, washboarded sand/mud fire roads/trails at 35-55 mph and I it felt like I was on the interstate. I would have been hanging upside down in the swamp if I tried that in my Bronco.
What everyone wants the new Bronco to be is like the Icon Bronco and even that wouldn't measure up and it's what $150k to $250k??? Land Rover Defender 90s that are 20 years old still are in the $35k-$65K range.
Anyone that thinks they will get an even half capable new Bronco for $40k is crazy...that's the price of a bargain basement F150 4x4.

Today in Phoenix, new unlimited Rubicon $39,800, not too crazy.
They get that much because there is no competition.

yeah, they got a hold on the market for sure w/all the add ons available etc.. Hopefully that changes in 2020
Is that for an '18 JK or JL? 2 door or 4 door? My '17 Unlimited Rubicon Recon Edition was about $10K more than that. It's been all over CO and Moab. If the new Bronco can do Cliffhanger (assuming it can be lifted and fitted with 35's or 37's) I'll buy one! ;D

Here's a picture of the Tesla's off road ability at one of our dune crossings here in Delaware a couple weeks ago.;D
