Looks Like Ford Bronco is Serious About Taking on the Wrangler

[Covet]

As exciting as the ‘new’ Bronco (that ford has been saying coming soon for a damn long time) is i have $5 that says it looks like a squared Explorer when/if it finally comes out. Much like the excitement i had about the “new” Defender announcements I don’t think it will look like the Defender I want to see, same with the Bronco.
MFGs are kind of scared to make something like the Wrangler, scared that it wont sell because it isn’t cushy enough. I am hopeful for the new Bronco, hopeful that it looks and performs like the old Broncos i remember. I am however, not holding my breath for Ford not to f$ck it up like Chevy did with the Blazer come back. I am sure the new Blazer is a nice truck, but it looks mini-van-ish to me, vs. the old beast that i recall.

There will be 3 broncos at first:

The Bronco, which will be a body on frame 2 door

The Bronco unlimited(the actual name is not known, just said unlimited to compare to Jeep)the 4 door version of the body on frame bronco.

The Bronco Maverick, which will be the competition to the Cherokee and renegade. 4 door only.

but they are all FORDs , there won't be any Ford parked in my driveway

Maybe they are new pictures!

Still can't wait for a proper body on it instead of the butchbacked Ranger

I think this may be closer to reality
Only A-column And Engine hood
And Perhaps the front bumper!

Much better, even if it still looks like a short bus raptor

Well this is interesting... airbags for tube doors.

The only draw back on a wrangler is the lack of airbags. I wish they had invested more into safety cuz as much as a wrangler is driven off road it's driven more on road. But I'd still take a wrangler over any bronco!!

I wish Ford built the wrangler cuz it'll be built 10x better than what FCA rolls out.

Id rather,Honda, Toyota , Subaru ( a natural ) , anyone but FCA ! Even VW ! My Allroad is great !

If they give it Raptor performance , I could see it in my driveway. Shoot, I never thought I would buy an American vehicle until the Wrangler JLU came along. I love the Jeep but it reminds me of why I stayed away from US auto manufacturers.

I like the face , but they gotta do better than that ! Boring from the A pillar back.

Yeah that Blazer is not even close to the original. It's simply a recloned Equinox. At least with it's aesthetics it's Equinox-ish; the actual mechanics, I don't know.

As a once long time Early Bronco owner I have been waiting very impatiently for its return. I’m hoping they learned a big lesson on what a disaster the return of the Thunderbird was and the home run they hit with the 2005 Mustang. So far I’m running a bit on the ‘eh side with the pics I’ve been seeing. I think my garage would look pretty good with a Wrangler and Bronco sitting side by side. This post should also explain my forum name.

I mean all the pictures we’ve been seeing are fan renders... the only 2 pictures of the Bronco that are sourced from Ford is the sheet picture and the shadow behind the leaked Baby Bronco. And the shadow and tarp picture look amazing so I’m still hyped.
