A revival of the iconic Bronco.

And, more to the point, the latter is scheduled to be joined by a smaller sibling with similar boxy cues.

In other words, a baby Bronco!

Or, as some news outlets put it, the next Ford Bronco Scout!

So, here's everything we know so far about the upcoming 'Baby' Ford Bronco SUV, also known as the Ford Bronco Scout and Ford Adventurer.

Meh, you lost me at Ford Escape. It looks just like the new Chevy Blazer. Common on guys, let's think outside the box on designs.

If Ford could import the Jimny and rebadge it as the baby Bronco that would be badass

I fear the coolest thing about this vehicle will be the name.

It could be good competition for the Renegade and Compass, but those don't seem to be selling in exceptionally high numbers as far as I can tell.

Don't get too excited, that's just a poor re-working of a Suzuki Jimny

Do you mean the photoshopped / rendered image, or the vehicle itself? As far as I know, this vehicle will have nothing to do with the Jimny at all.

Ford has been promising this thing for 10 years now.

There will be two versions of Bronco: one based on Ranger, the other, the “baby Bronco” based on Escape. At this point, I expect the latter to be little more than a crossover with retro styling.

I was holding off for the new Ford Bronco to come out, until it was revealed a few months back that it’ll be based on a Ford Escape.

The bigger Bronco is going to be body-on-frame, perhaps have a removable top, but will have the same IFS as the Ranger.

Yes, the artist has started with a Jimny for their rendering, the doors and wing mirrors are identical :LOL:

I just watched that video, omg, FCA doesn’t have anything to worry about. A commercial is supposed to bring people in? I couldn’t run away fast enough. What I took out of that video........
That white checkered thing looked like something out of a circus.
The narrator actually mentions that it wouldn’t be as good off road as a Jeep.
Sounds like auto trans only
No mention of roofs or door removal
Last thought.... no bs, I honestly think that video would only help FCA sales.

... the bronco sport is another complete model which is a crossover, like the jeep compass. The regular Bronco will have a manual, removalable doors and top.

No solid front axle, but it will not have FCA qulaity hell, and should be able to steer in a straight line. There will be plenty of sales for both Wrangler and Bronco, no need to worry, pick the one you like and enjoy

Ok Gary thanks for the education. I didn’t know but I’m all for it then. A little competition will benefit us. Keep FCA on their toes. Be safe pal
