rmc523 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Well, it wouldn't be a Bronco chassis mule with an F-150 body on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would if it was a full sized Bronco which is the rumor. PD said it wasn't greenlighted yet but that doesn't mean they haven't been working on it.

NLPRacing Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) It doesn't appear to have a leaf spring rear suspension. Never mind, I see it. What I don't see is an exhaust. Edited June 6, 2019 by NLPRacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a "Bronco ____" chassis mule, but not a Bronco one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 A SWB F150 variant for sure. Maybe Ford is planning Bronco as a complete sub brand..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2005Explorer Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Maybe it's just the big tires making it look that way, but it seems the wheelbase is even shorter then a single cab short box F150. If that's the case it could easily be a full-size Bronco mule. Edit: Never mind after watching the whole video it is a shorter wheelbase then anything currently offered as an F150.

silvrsvt Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Most likely a Bronco Powertrain mule or something-the Super Short Wheel base for a F-150 seems to indicate that its on the Ranger and not the F-150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d be right where the wheel is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took C-crew from Louisville and sent them to KTP to speed up the SUV line. They were already full tilt before that.

jpd80 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Combined production at KTP is around 43k per month so maybe this special replaces a few RC builds at Dearborn or Kansas City Edited June 7, 2019 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromey Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Maybe we’ve got this all wrong. The “leaked” images of the Maverick/Scout/Bronco-whatever, was widely assumed to be of a SUV/CUV based on an Escape sized platform and the silhouette of the larger Bronco behind the aforementioned vehicle was assumed to be based on the Ranger platform. What if the Maverick/Scout/Bronco-whatever is actually based on the Ranger and the Bronco that is represented in the silhouette is actually a full-sized F150 based vehicle? A retro styled full size v8 Bronco would truly be a B__ A__ King Kong Beast that would blow everything else away. Nothing else like it anywhere. Probably cost $70k...but may well be worth it! Yah, I know. I’m crazy. But crazy is fun sometimes. ? Edited June 7, 2019 by Chromey Typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was Bronco that had to have a re-do in styling and then got approved. Then the Bronco Scout that's coming soon. But what was the vehicle that got approved in record time?

jpd80 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hackett talked recently about a vehicle project going from market research to design/ developing 12 weeks instead of years, he didn’t elaborate further 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pffan1990 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Oh yes, I remember reading about this. I think he was talking more about how technology has gotten so advanced in recent years that it has enabled the speeding up of design and development in a matter of weeks instead of years. But I also kinda remember he was talking about a vehicle or a category of a vehicle. I think he was talking about the upcoming affordable nameplates which was the small utility and small pickup based on this small utility. He could just have been talking about all of what I mentioned in one interview. I really do need to go find that article as you piqued my interests. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Yeah, Hackett worked out that in the past Ford had spent too much time researching models that by the time they developed them, they were then years late to the market place. Hoping his new strategies ar cutting through the seven or nine levels of BS atrophying middle management at Ford.
