Problem for Ford is Jeep has gone in and ate the whole lunch, by the time OJ gets his act together with a locked in design, spend over a billion and 12 months tooling a plant to make said Bronco, Jeep will have probably sold over 750K units LOL hence taking all those customers who potentially consider a Bronco but are now in a Jeep. Jeep folks tend to keep their Jeeps and with long loans are probably out of the market. Aslo since many Wrangler folks mod their Jeeps they have even less inducement to jump ship.
My bet is Ford is targeting a soft roader with IFS as mentioned where you can remove the doors and top, will dual it with another vehichle and pray they can sell 75K units to make the plant viable, kind of like the LX cars where they sell Charger 300 and Challenger and between the 3 models on the same line means a viable plant.
Ford dont have that luxury, no front IFS or wont work with another truck or SUV unless they too are solid axle if they go that route.
