I've seen discussion says it's based on the same platform Ford territory uses...So def a unibody vehicle. Not really related to Bronco except for the same boxy shape and probably not really off-road capable I assume😂

Turns out to be larger than the Bronco or Everest, so go figure. 

The electric motor inside in F-150's R10 transmission is only 47 HP but the Ranger PHEV has the same R10 transmission setup and it's electric motor is 100 HP. Don't know if it could be increased further.

If anything it would lead to quick and easy things that can be turned back down like selling more V6 Broncos or 2 door Broncos.    That is the first thing that pops into my head.

It's hard to say how much of an impact this sort of thing will have. Internally, Ford's probably still planning on meeting those efficiency targets anticipating for them to be reinstated at some point in the future.    But who knows, it could influence some of Ford's future product decisions.     

Would absolutely buy this if available here!

You may want to rethink your position.  From today's Autoline Daily.  Go to the 1:30 mark.   https://www.autoline.tv/daily/ad-4094-stellantis-throws-in-the-towel-with-fuel-cells-volvo-to-shift-suv-production-to-u-s-mercedes-reveals-1st-all-electric-wagon/

The model name is technically call "Bronco New Energy" not Bronco. But the grille just says Bronco of course like Bronco Sport.      Bronco New Energy has fixed roof and longer so not the same body. Similar styling for sure. 

Tesla will introduce a new stretched Model YL for China that may partly explain why the Model X was pulled.  The longer Model YL is apparently a 6-seat SUV roughly 7 inches longer with a 6-inch longer wheelbase.  It’s also a bit taller based on data being reported.     https://electrek.co/2025/07/16/tesla-announces-model-yl-larger-6-seater-suv-coming-fall/      

Nothing...? My opinion which is not exactly popular around here but all the moves Farley is making points in one direction - that he is planning to exit passenger car business in Europe.   1. Get rid of all the volume products 2. Move the biggest remaining selling model (Puma) under Ford Otosan which has robust business with Transit franchise 3. JV with VW on EV with easy exit if the business does not catch on 4. Boost export capacity outside EU (e.g. South Africa, Thailand, India, China - although India is cancelled again) 5. ??? 6. Profit   I think Farley saw what Ford Australia did and is feeling pretty confident that he can duplicate it in Europe relying primarily on imported products: Puma (Ford Otosan Romania) Territory (China) Next gen Bronco Sport (Mexico?) Compact EV to replace Explorer and Capri (Louisville?) Next gen Mach E (Mexico?) Mustang (Flat Rock) Bronco (Detroit) Ranger (Thailand/South Africa) Transit Courier (Ford Otosan Romania) Transit Connect (VW) Transit Custom (Ford Otosan Turkey) Transit (Ford Otosan Turkey)
