tenracing Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Something that will compete with the Jeep, Wrangler, that can be set up for rock crawling. Not wider than a jeep, so it will fit on jeep trails... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94ranger Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Something that will compete with the Jeep, Wrangler, that can be set up for rock crawling. Not wider than a jeep, so it will fit on jeep trails... I agree with that... something a lot like the original was. Small, economical(ish), and with go anywhere toughness... The new wranglers are huge.... my dad just bought one and it reminds me of grandparents old big broncos with all the cargo area cut off. Perhaps a new Bronco should be smaller, about the size of the TJ Wranglers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snkbitn Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Not wider than a jeep, so it will fit on jeep trails... I would sell my FJ and CJ for one of these if they'd make it. But it definitely needs to be on par size wise with the JK. Maybe even a little narrower? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8-X Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Agree 100% on bringing back the Bronco, mid-size form (maybe slightly smaller), not full-size. But if you listen to the lemmings on the site, 99% of people wouldn't buy it or use it properly, and wouldn't be profitable for Ford. So I'm sure we'll never see a Ford manufactured Bronco anytime soon, especially since they won't bring the T6 Ranger to the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T'Cal Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 So then the Bronco would fit above the Escape and below the Edge as a true off-roader. That could work especially if Ford used this heavy duty platform for the next Ranger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 But if you listen to the lemmings really smart people who understand business cases on the site, 99% of people wouldn't buy it or use it properly, and wouldn't be profitable for Ford. Fixed it for ya. But seriously - what platform would they use and where would it be built and how many could they sell annually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probowler Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Fixed it for ya. But seriously - what platform would they use and where would it be built and how many could they sell annually? Go ask Jeep. If Chrysler can do it, Ford can do better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealmrmustang Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Go ask Jeep. If Chrysler can do it, Ford can do better. Exactly. The aftermarket is making new 1966-77 Bronco tubs with authorization from Ford. You can literally build a new 1966-77 Bronco. So, there is obviously a market, and a demand. My fear is that if Ford were to green light such a vehicle, it would be for a limited time, and a lot like the current Toyota FJ... not at all like the original, to be direct competition to the Jeep Wrangler. I think that Toyota got it all wrong with the current FJ. It sould have been like the original. I'm obviously wrong with this observation as they sell quite well.
