Reigner92 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I think the F150 Raptor going into production, will dramatically improve the chances of Ford bringing back the Bronco. They could even give the Bronco many of the same insides as the Raptor. However, I don't think it will be as big as it was. It will probably be based off of the Escape or Explorer, my guess is the Escape. Here's my take on it, feel free to post your own. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B. Morrow Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Nice chops. I can't decide whether I like the BRONCO grille or the Raptor FORD grille better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I voted that Ford should revive it, BUT I believe they should do so when the economy turns around......it should NOT be a priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking T6 for the Bronco - - sorta as the Raptor is to the F-series; the Bronco(s!) would be to the new global-Ranger so hopefully building more/many model-styles on one platform will be StdOp-procedure (NOT just for trucks & trucklets!!) & Reginer, I alos *like* all your Bronco faces might suggest using " B R O N C O " lettering on the middle piece of the grille & the mesh for the top & bottom "bar" - - wonder how it'd look with either little Ovals for the mesh or little "F O R D" shaped mesh-pattern - - tho *REALLY* prefer the model name for the BIG center-bar letters plus I'm very pleasantly surprised by how well the corrent Escape headlites & bumper shape work for the Bronco proposal :thumbup: but - just to offer something, here's some old chops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94ranger Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I've long wished for a new Bronco and my view of them has changed over the years. First I wanted a two door Expedition or Excursion. As gas prices rose, the concept looked really good. Then gas prices fell again and the idea of an F-150 based Bronco sounded good but with the new CAFE a two door Escape with more rugged looks would do just fine. I would prefer rear wheel based four wheel drive but as a person that has driven an Escape, it wouldn't be bad. Good job on the chops though.

It will probably be based off of the Escape or Explorer, my guess is the Escape. Here's my take on it, feel free to post your own. While the longest run of the Bronco was as a truck spin-off/Expedition ancestor, some of us are old enough to remember - and prefer - the CJ-fighter (and its optional V-8 :happy feet: ). In that particular case, success of the Raptor wouldn't be a factor. I've also got this nagging suspicion that Ford isn't really looking to add another model of a full-size SUV with the current public perception of the domestic manufacturers. So, a smaller Bronco would be it. I didn't vote since, with all the off-roading I've (n)ever done, the Tribute fits my needs better than a new, small Bronco would. The chops are quite nice, though.

The chops are quite nice, though. I don't really have a need for one either, but I still think it'd be cool for Ford to have a Wrangler competitor. Again, though, save it for better economic/financial times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reigner92 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) But a curvy Bronco wouldn't make sense to me. Based off of it. It would of course have a more boxy rugged look, yet retain the kuga's style. Ill see if i can make a edit of one and post it.

I i would simply have them use the Escape II badge instead and have them base it off the escape. Then i would add opposite drive to the escape II. Opposite drive would be the left from and right rear tires only having power to them. This is the best driving solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 rugged and very stylish? what do you think? I see what you're going for, but to me Kuga design language doesn't necessarily say "rugged." Good chop though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
