bzcat Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 3 hours ago, falconlover 1 said: A common marketing for those 3 vehicles (Bronco, Baby-Bronco and the compact pick-up) as an off road vehicles requires a common name or label. I think the Bronco´s wild horse image will be used for all. The name could be Bronco, Bronco Maverick and Bronco ???, or could be different for each one: Bronco, Maverick and ??? However, it takes a long time to know (at least 12 months) How many other horse trademarks does Ford still own? Time to dust off Pinto? ? Bronco [fill in the blank] for sure will be a better name than Transit Connect pickup. Especially if it shares front 1/3 with Bronco Maverick.

jpd80 Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Quote Those in the room said the SUV has a retro design, featuring a rectangular grille, round headlights and the word "Bronco" stamped across the front. The baby Bronco's face was leaked a while back and looked very much like this, it's great that the retro look is being exploited for these vehicles.

I was looking at different horse breeds and none of those names a really good. There's even a Fjord horse! "Introducing the Frod Fjord" So maybe the possible names should include Cowboy influenced themes like Ranchero for the small pickup. Maverick certainly fits this bill as in a strange way so does Taurus. Maybe something new is in order, so I like Stallion, or Range for a small pickup . Range can be to Ranger what Explorer is to Expedition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't leaked - Ford actually published it several months back along with the sheet covered Bronco profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-dubz Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Here’s a few names I came up with: Phoenix - Ford Phoenix has a nice ring to it. Also hints at the outdoors. Imagine the logo options too. This would be my choice. Scout - pairs up nicely with the ranger name, but I’m sure there is trademark issues. FX - Ford FX sounds good and it is a 4x4 so the name fits Tremor - Ford probably already has this trademarked but maybe this belongs on a larger vehicle. Sentry - fits with the ranger name but might be too close to the Sentra. Triton - I’ve always liked the triton name but again should probably go on something larger. Legion - no rhyme or reason for this one, just sounds cool to me Edited March 25, 2019 by T-dubz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probowler Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 All the names mentioned so far are just... terrible. Even Maverick, while kinda cool, I just don't know? It might be good. Legion is badass though.... but i'm not sure how it would flow off the tongue? "YO, guess who just bought a Ford Legion?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too close to the word lesion.....although a Ford Lesion could be the start of a new sub-brand of cars you drive when you need to get to the dermatologist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudz64 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 In regards to the news of the removable doors and roof, im wondering if the 2 door be the one which gets this and the 4 door will offer something else? Storing 2 doors in the vehicle would easier than 4, as is roof removal. Remember that Ford patent with removable pods over each door plus over the rear (also removable) side windows, using an alloy center T structure? Maybe this would be for the 4 door Bronco, with normal doors using frameless glass...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
