Ford reveals "Bronco Off-Roadeo: Arches and Cliffhanger" Project Concepts at Moab

[illverado]

This is a perfect example of how NOT to mount harnesses in a vehicle. That’s a spine crushing life ending angle on the shoulder straps with them pointed damn near straight down. Besides that looks cool just don’t want anyone to think the harnesses are anywhere near acceptable.

Are filler panels like these available for the Ford Tube Doors anywhere?

No but seems like a pretty 'easy' DIY with sheet steel, a cutting wheel, a cricut and some metal screws.

Honestly not taking those seats seriously at all. I know the point of this “concept” is to give the appearance of a crawler, but no one seriously is going to pick this to do that. I don’t think that’s a BajaKits style long suspension and that type of work is essentially what a Jeep is for. This is far too wide to be a crawler. Can it be done? Sure, I guess, but no.

Just give me the regular Raptor seats, but I do like the rear delete and a flat space; works for me, but back seats in production would be fine.

Those seats do look sick, but they’re about as extreme as the 40s and also not really necessary. 37s make it a BOSS trail rig for some rocks, so Rubicon ready for sure. That rear bumper remains the drag point, but I get you‘ve got to put that pesky tag somewhere.

Would love an aftermarket option for the rear quarters on that 2 door. I would like the aftermarket option to be 2 piece like the factory setup so that a bump on the trail doesn't require fiberglass repairs. Also, if a 2 piece, could utilize the factory liners which are much cheaper than the fiberglass that go with the fiberglass fenders.

Your opinion concerning Ford routinely using two door models to promote concepts and marketing is dead on. Ford has done some stupid things in the past, but only making a “ Heritage” Bronco edition available four door which NEVER existed prior shows just how out of touch the executives in Michigan are.

Time and time again, the same argument holds true. While some on here love the 2 door, they just don't sell enough of them. Cry and stomp your feet all you want, use the powerful all caps even. Money talks, and the sales aren't there to support a ton of support for the 2 door.

Oh snap

Perhaps, but remember, the Mach-E is still labeled “Mustang”.

I understand that. However, Ford builds a two door. They make a Heritage grill. Heritage wheels. Heritage interior. Same 4x4 system. Same suspension. Same electronics. So there is zero reason financially NOT to have a two door Heritage model. It wouldn’t require a totally unique platform, motor, transmission, or colors. Ford already makes those components. The fact remains branding a model the Heritage that has no heritage is to put it mildly LAME!

That looks great on the 2 door Braptor.

After holding out for years on a hope for a 2 door Braptor, finally gave in late last year when I knew code orange was on its way out. Wanted CO badly.

So now that I have one, and just PPF'ed the vehicle. Ford will likely build this now.

You're welcome.

PS. Yes, I still want a 2 door Braptor. Code orange and ideally with a v8.

I'm still holding.....
Been holding since 2019....

Just Hoping that Ford will FINALLY do the 2D that Truly Honors the Early Bronco's the way this 2D concept almost does.

I'd even "settle" for one just like this 2D Concept, but with 37's or 35's.

And to the comments about 2D's not selling, if Ford would let people order A-La-Cart and offer a MT with the V6, they'd sell much more.

People read too much into the heritage thing. There’s no he

Ahh, yes- excellent points. It wouldn’t cost much extra.

A two door like this concept is probably the only way Ford will ever see me in a dealership again. Not that I hate Ford, I just think my two door Sasquatch V6 is pretty much perfect.

Maybe cut out the histrionic overstatements and tell it like it is: Many of the 4dr owners give no tosses about the 2drs, while many of these dismissniks cry foul over the "moardoor wars". Perhaps Ford can't sell enough 2drs ALONE to justify continuing the Bronco model, but Ford isn't losing money on the 2drs they do make and sell.

Maybe not, but sales dictate how much resources they’ll put into the production. Why tie up production on something they don’t have confidence will sell. I’m sure they have qualified people figuring out what works best for their bottom line and react based on that. Sometimes if enough people are vocal with their gripes and wants, it will move the needle, so it doesn’t hurt to be vocal, as annoying as it can get.

If Ford really wanted to get people exited for the bronco, get serious and offer one with the f160 raptor r drivetrain
