i am going to have to respectfully disagree. i think that ford needs to bring back an f150 based bronco or raptor based bronco. i dont see how you can say that the fuel market is affecting the sale of vehicles with large engines. look at all of the vehicles, sports cars and trucks with large displacement engines. there is definately a piece of the market interested in a full size two door suv, except now a days they are limited to the jeep wrangler which still sells a fairly good number of vehicles despite how much the new v6 sucks.
if ford can produce a vehicle like the raptor and have it sell like it has been, i think they could easily build a bronco on a single cab short bed f150 frame.
my first vehicle was an 89' eddie bauer bronco w/ a 302 and i LOVED it and think about kicking myself in the butt everday for selling it. hindsight is 20/20 unfortunately.
with the advances in emmissions and such today, they could easily have an 18 mpg bronco with that new 5.0 coyote motor and even better fuel mileage with the eco boost.
not too mention, how much would it kick a$$ to have a bronco with that 6.2L boss motor, e locker from the fx4 in a modern tech bronco! it would create a piece of the market that could force even more sales away from chevrolet and dodge.
retro is in style. just my two cents.
