Bronco Pickup Truck coming in future. Hybrid Bronco arrives 2027

[Weegie]

They've been saying they are coming out with a Bronco pickup for the last several years, there are many Youtube videos about it but nothing ever happens, they need to stop saying it if they aren't going to do it...

Couple of thoughts:

Several years ago, around when Ford stopped making "regular" cars they were shifting to a few major "brands", Bronco, hence why we Bronco Sport, Mustang, hence why we have Mach-E (and probably at some point a 4-door "Mustang"), and trucks, F-Series, Super Duty, Maverick, et al. All vehicles were going to fit into one of those lines. Not sure I, or really anyone else outside of Ford agrees with that stance but here we are.

WRT a Bronco Truck, I can see them transitioning the Ranger to the Bronco line. To me, that would greatly simplify the current Ranger/ Bronco line. Remember the old Ranger and Bronco II were essentially the same vehicle, or at least shared many, many components, interior, exterior, and chassis, unlike today's Bronco and Ranger. Sure, they're made on the same line but the differences are significant.

Personally I would love to see a return to the Ranger/ Bronco "twinsies" concept. I know why they didn't do this as Ranger was never stopped overseas so it was easy to just start making them here again on the Bronco line and re-introduce them into the US market.

Bronco pickup should be based on a 2 door. Give it a half cab like the Early Bronco and rear seat delete.

Not some 4 door abomination

It could even be a DIY replacement roof/back wall kit an owner buys from the dealer.

No need to overthink this and no need to reinvent the wheel… I’m sure there’s someone out there smarter than me who can figure out how to incorporate removable doors and roof.

Predator Ranger Raptor Bronco

Ranger Raptor Bronco Conversion

That's WAY more Ranger then Bronco

The Bronco was never a "twin" of the Ranger. The Bronco II was as much a real Bronco as the current Bronco Sport is. The Early Bronco had its own specific chassis. Though did share some interior bits with the Mustang

The 78/79s were based on the F100 chassis and the rest were all F150 based,

Put me on record, that pic in the op of the yellow/orange pickup version looks horrible.

I’m not sure what you’re saying. The Bronco II and Ranger were nearly identical in every way.

The Bronco 2 WAS NOT A BRONCO. Is that clear enough for you?

It's a "Branger"

The 4 door Mustang, is going to be called a Mach4. It has been said, just Mach4. No Mustang. Also, it has been said by people who have seen it think Porche Panarama in a Ford skin. Makes plenty of sense to me, as you see a bunch of Porches down here in Miami.

The F150 and Mustang are more than a name; IT IS THE BRAND. So if you want to introduce something, well, that name goes there. Though I think this time, styling the 4-door Mach4 to look similar to a Mustang will do the selling. As for a Bronco pickup, I think it would do well. They are aiming at Jeep Gladiator sales, and again, you see a bunch of them down here. I think people who want a Bronco and s a somewhat usable bed will be the target.

That makes more sense if they just call it Mach 4. That's what they should have done with the Mach-E. Just leave the Mustang name off of it, but if they wanted to include styling elements thats fine.

More like a RangO

Ah, now I get it, didn't realize I was dealing with "That Guy".

So if I changed my post to say the compact, 3-door SUV produced by Ford Motor Company from 1984-1990, and much to one internet users disgust, was called the Bronco II, and the Ranger of the same timeframe were twins we would be in agreement?

 

[JediMcMuffin]

Ahh yes... the "youre' not a real unless" comments are flowing goood goood....

I used to love that from the Harley crowd when I was riding motorcycles.... or not.

Then again, i don't own a Bronco anymore, so why am I here? I think because I miss it dearly.

Did the 58 tbird vs the 57 tbird cause heartfailure/heartbreak?
(58 tbird...so ungodly ugly)

Do chevy guys wring-their-hands because my s10 blazer isnt really a k5 blazer?

The Mopar suburban folk musta choked when gm started making suburbans.

Did Camaro folk have a cow when the third gen was called a camaro and not a monza, and flip waaayyy out because the firebird had Camaro rs hideaway headlights and the camaro didn't?(yes they did. And we real car guys dismissed their girly-ass argument).

Yes it was.

Both the Bronco II and the current Bronco Sport are legit Broncos. It’s just a name, and FoMoCo can name any of it’s vehicles whatever they want.

Plus I got a BJ in the back seat of a Bronco II back when I was a younger man. Seeing a Bronco II nowadays always makes me smile.
