Jqa1824 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I LOVE this name, if this is indeed the name of the smaller/cheaper/more civilized “Baby Bronco.” The name isn’t a dreaded alpha-numeric addition (exp: Bronco XS) or the meaningless ‘Sport.’ To me the name fits with an outdoorsy theme, and sounds fun, adventurous, and optimistic. It’s not in your face, trendy, or obnoxious. Plus, it’s a name you can say in isolation. “What do you drive?” ”A Scout.” ”What kind of car is that?” ”It’s a Ford SUV. It’s the brother of the Bronco. Bronco Scout.” Well done, Ford! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snooter Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Better than bronc wrangler....heep owners would have come unhinged......as a true scout owner i find this somewhat interesting....scout always was the better choice back then though....bronc never had axles worth a crap until 77 and both those brands did rust at the same rapid pace....2 winters and they were about gone in the salt belts Edited April 21, 2019 by snooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of the off roading brand without degrading the Bronco name in itself. I also agree with the alpha-numeric you mentioned as Bronco XS or even Bronco III. The Scout or Bronco Scout is good enough for me. Maverick can be used for one of the upcoming rear drive CD6 white space vehicles seeing how they already trademarked the Maverick name. But even then, Maverick is a good name too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like the Scout and Bronco Scout but it is possible that they're just trademarking names as backup as well as possible trimlines too though.

twintornados Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Bronco to compete with this.. Bronco Scout to compete with this.. Maverick to compete with this..

I'll go back and fix my post to reflect that..oops, never mind..too late to edit it. Edited April 22, 2019 by twintornados Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailhiker Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I'm wondering if some of the patents for roof/door options are for one of these, and not the Bronco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, the name changed from Maverick to Bronco Scout pretty recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the Jeep line up....Bronco will compete with Wrangler...that leaves Cherokee and Renegade. Bronco Scout can compete with Renegade, but Escape and Cherokee are aimed at two different demographics....an Escape based Maverick with more aggressive "square shouldered" styling would compete directly with Cherokee...Since Grand Cherokee is styled more like Explorer, no variant would be needed...again...all of this is sheer speculation on my part based on nothing other than consumer observations...

According to this news, the Bronco Scout IS what we've been calling Maverick, which is the Escape-based boxy model to compete with Cherokee.
