NLPRacing Posted October 23, 2025 Share Posted October 23, 2025 I was playing around with ChatGPT on a couple of models Ford could add to the Bronco lineup. One I am calling the "BRONCO SUPER DUTY" and the other is the "BRONCO MAX". The BRONCO SUPER DUTY crew cab pickup with either a bed or "tray" and 8 lug wheels. could be based on either the Australian Ranger SUPER DUTY or even the US SUPER DUTY, but the Australian Ranger SUPER DUTY makes the most sense, but solid axles front & rear would be really cool. The "overlanding" crowd should really dig it and it'll be a much better, more capable, vehicle than the Jeep Renegade. A 2.7EB base engine with a 3.5EB option and maybe a diesel option if possible. A "PowerBoost" option would be great too so it can be used as a generator when "on the trail". The BRONCO MAX 3 row SUV. Based on the same chassis as the BRONCO SUPER DUTY also with 8 lug wheels. A 2.7EB base engine with a 3.5EB and "PowerBoost" option. An EREV option with a 2.5L "Generator" would also be a great idea and would help it compete with the upcoming Scout models. Going forward, I think Ford could remove all Ford branding on the Bronco lineup (similar to the Mustang) and offer it as a sub-brand sold at Ford and Lincoln dealers as well as standalone dealers in some markets.

I've never had a true desire to have a truck, but depending on how it ends up looking (and I suppose if it actually happens), I might consider a Bronco truck. I've always preferred more unique vehicles (Flex, Mustang, now Bronco) vs. ones you see everywhere, but now having recently purchased a house and all the projects we've been doing so far changes the ideal vehicle type calculus. A Bronco truck can let me still have a more unique vehicle while having the truck capability. I do have access to a truck as needed via my dad or brother, who both have F-150s (Lariat supercab w/ 6ft bed and 2017 Raptor supercrew withh the 5.5ft bed), and have rubber cargo mat and seatbacks in the Bronco for some dirty things, but it's also annoying to have to call up and go borrow a truck if I need it. We'll see!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see!! I couldn't live without a truck. Of course, like you said after buying a house, there's always something you need a truck for. We're looking at moving to a flatbed truck camper from a fifth wheel, which means my pickup goes away and I get an F550 with a flatbed. I'm torn on the idea as I'll be without a pickup for the first time since I got out of college nearly 30 years ago. Sure, a flatbed can still do truck duties, but so many things I use my truck for (taking the recycling to town for instance) isn't feasible with a flatbed. My wife wants a Bronco, but she says she also likes the Gladiator (I won't allow a Jeep in the house lol), so if the Bronco truck comes to fruition, it may eventually replace the Mach E. I guess you and I will have to get the same color and trim package again! 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my Flex was light Ice blue that almost looked silver sometimes, but it went nicely with the white roof. They didn't offer a true blue when i got mine though....it was either that or the Dark Ink blue which was like antimatter blue that you can barely tell it's not black. Though I doubt they do a 2-door this time! Edited July 31 by rmc523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I doubt they do a 2-door this time! It'll have to be red! This would likely be the wife's ride, and she wants red. She does like the new Shelter Green, though. It's really sharp! And it'll definitely be 4 door. I have some regrets with the 2 door Bronco, but man is it nice to drive around being so short. We were in StL for a Cards game this past weekend (I HATE the city) and it was so nice having that short thing to drive around. The Bronco will be kept to flat-tow behind the F550 and truck camper. My truck is Antimatter Blue, and yeah, it's almost black. And it shows dirt just like black. I'm pretty boring, though, so my next Super Duty will likely be grey lol!

Texasota Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 We already know a Bronco pickup is coming and it will likely have Ranger Super Duty underpinnings (T6.3) as will the forthcoming F-100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
