That Bronco truck looks 10000x better than the Gladiator!

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 fixed it 😛 It made 3 pages before being noticed too

At the very least I see it beating the zr1, maybe the zr1x. The GTD was clearly a case of having really good chassis balance and grip, but being slightly underwhelming on the straights compared to a lot of the cars it's competing against.    If this version is a demon in a straight line to match the handling, it's over.   

The thing I've never liked about that feature is that it wants the vehicle in accessory mode for it to work.  The whole point is for me to turn it on without killing the battery having interior stuff on.

They took away control over my Expedition's perimeter lighting with a promise to "bring it back soon." It's been forever and this update still doesn't rectify that!  

Outsourcing also means not being responsible for labor. If demand for widgets falls, you can't just fire the UAW employees who make them in-house, but if they're externally purchased, you can reduce volumes or cancel orders, and it becomes, say, Magna's personnel problem and not yours.  

Also, I think we missed the biggest news of the thread......Ford is introducing a new model!!!  The Transect Connect!!!  

IIRC, it actually HAS been planned and allocated a few times to upgrade it, but it's been pulled back each time.     I think I remember someone saying the issue is ....I think the paint booth, not the factory itself?

Ford's investment for e-Transit is far less than GM's in Brightdrop.
