Trailhiker Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 They could still use the Maverick name when it is time for the EcoSport replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so what is going to compete with Renegade which is slotted in under Cherokee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno! Sounds like we may not be getting Puma. I think we'll certainly be getting something other than EcoSport at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point exactly...With Bronco competing with Wrangler and Bronco Scout competing with Cherokee, what will compete with Renegade? That is presuming Ford has a "Compete with every Jeep mantra."

I think we'll certainly be getting something other than EcoSport at some point. There is the Mexican-made small utility and small pickup coming in a few years. Maybe this new small utility will have the Maverick name and be used to replace EcoSport. Sadly looks like we are not getting the Puma but don't see why not. The Puma could be sporty soft going crossover while this utility could be the smaller rough boxier one (just guessing here; not yet confirmed by Ford). Not sure of the small pickup but I hope the Ranchero name will not be used as it should be a rear driven small pickup if they make one. I'd be fine with Courier for the small pickup name.

Yeah, who knows. Maybe we're getting both. And for that matter, the mexican built one could be the Puma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeep is only a small part of the equation and that's solely where the Bronco name will be pointed at, hence why the Maverick name was changed to Bronco Scout. I could get into more detail but I really can't with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurgeh Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 But more to the point, it makes sense for Ford to develop a sub brand like Jeep or Range Rover, so when people hear Bronco this or that they think rugged with serious off-road chops. People don't think "Land Rover Range Rover Sport" (the actual full name of the SUV), they just think of the Range Rover sub brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that the Bronco Scout or Scout is going to be the Utility built in Mexico- At least this is what I'm seeing: Hermosillo- C-sized Pickup and Transit Connect in 2022 Cuautitlán Assembly-Mach E/Mustang Mach E and Bronco Scout/Scout later this year So far we haven't heard anything about a replacement for the EcoSport for North America or if the Puma is actually coming here either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 There has been no confirmation where Ford will build Scout. Cuautitlan is an informed speculation based on the fact that Fiesta is ending so timing seems right, plus we suspect Louisville will not have the capacity to make Escape, Corsair and Scout.

snooter Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Navistar and scout light line own the scout name...i doubt u see a BRONCHO Scout....i give ford credit here.....just putting scout out there alongside BRONCHO has seriously driven up interest........BRONCHO WAS IH'S name for bronco in 1964.....it rhymes with rauncho.....evidently inside IH it was refered to as BRONCHO for quite a few years...and that is some legit historical trivia from one of the scout forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passis Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Maybe the Maverick nameplate has been downgraded to the recently announced replacement for Fiesta/Focus/Fusion, a C2 "version" of (B) Puma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there has been a dramatic shift in production plans in the last few months, consider this confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
