Ford Confirms The 2020 Bronco, and Ranger for 2019 production.

If its anything like concept shots,*edit(fan forum renders) I may be interested, would be an easy sell if it came with Raptor package, not so sure of turbos for wheeling, but who knows...

No word on power plants, but here's hoping for a diesel in the Ranger.

As a certified Ford Fanboi (tm), I'm excited by these announcements. Of course, details matter, and I'm dying to hear more about powertrain and capabilities for each.

I'm gonna cash out my ESP in 2020 and buy a Bronco if it looks anything like the fan rendering above 😍

[Agent_Oorange]

Yep, sign me up for a Bronco if it looks like above.

[BokCh0y]

Oh fuck!!! I want one

There is a diesel coming for the F-150 in 2018, I see no reason why I would not end up in this platform as well.

The fact that this won't be a 4 door takes me out of the potential purchasers pool, but if it comes out looking like that rendering, I will be a sad non-owner.

It will look like a 2-door f-150 or a 2-door 2018 expedition. No way will Ford use different parts. Look at F150 and superduty, they use the same cab.

Which is why I'm surprised as hell Ford's building this. Sadly, 2 door anything seems to be a dying market, just think of how many 2 doors we had available just 10-15 years ago VS what we have now. Seems next to nobody wants/or can live with a 2 door anything anymore unless it's a true sports car.

Think of the last true off-road capable 2 door SUV, the FJ cruiser. It sold like hotcakes for the first two years then fell by half and continued downward till Toyota pulled the plug.

I applaud Ford for building something as unique as the Bronco, I just hope the market supports it.

These aren't concept shots. They're fan forum renders. Ford didn't show off any photos other than the 2 logos today.

Totally. I was going to compile a few different renders, but got sidetracked.

2020? Why the 3 year timeline

Probably trying to line it up with OJ's parole date. They can give him a ride home in a white one.

Will be nice if its a sized truck base, but if its just a slightly different looking F-150 then thats silly.

Most likely will look like this:

I bet it'll be based on the Escape platform and be a competitor to the Jeep Renegade, with a little t/c 4 cyl and a cvt transmission. Boy will that ever piss the old school Bronco fanbois off lol.

Super excited about the Bronco coming back!
It needs to be a super simple 2 door, like the previous That's all I want! If they want to expand with a ton of options like the jeep wrangler, that's fine. I just want a super simple 2 door suv with some decent power. Give me a 4x4 cube with 300+ hp.

Unfortunately I'm guessing we're going to get a rebranded ford everest. Which would be a nice addition to the suv line since it seem to be an actual suv and not a glorified car. However it doesn't deserve the Bronco name.


I hope ford does the Ranger correctly this time. All they need to do is bring over the truck they sell to the rest of world. However I think that would be too logical... they'll screw it up again.

The article I read said they were going to bring the globa ranger here but with restyled front end. If there is any truth to that remains to be seen.

New Branco = Existing Ford Everest with mnior cosmetic tweaks. It WILL be four door. This is the existing model. Those fan renderings and concept shots are not at all related to what's happening here.

I hope not! The 2017 Ford Ranger fx4 is already a great looking small truck. Really hoping ford can make a decent small truck, it seems to do well in the rest of the world. The one we got made no sense and should have been killed much sooner, it had no advantage over the F150.


My guess is that the Ranger and Bronco will share the same platform. The everest and ranger already appear to be very similiar, I think we'll just get a north america version and nothing special. Both great vehicles but not worth the bronco name hype... Ford has been doing really great things lately, so hopefully they prove me wrong! Ford still has the promise for 12? performance vehicles by 2020 ( what are they at, 7?8?), so maybe the bronco and ranger will be part of that list?

Pretty much exactly as ugly as I expected after hearing about the rumors months ago.
