Sad emoji for any reference to LeagueThe Corey Oates signature model For all you Australian Rugby footballers...
2 door only please
Because it's built in a US factory and still has to meet regulations here in case it wasn't exclusively exported, and possibly even if it was.
So here’s my take: I think it would be great for the Aussies if they built a right hand version, if they built one for export to the UK and Australia, it would bot be two door only.
This same observation goes for the”maybe it’s electric or hybrid” thoughts. 4xE is four door only for a reason.
OATES is some special edition based off an existing two door platform meant for the largest market of two door buyers - the US.

I'm very interested to find out what this OATES special edition is. Hopefully Ford will reveal the OATES and Heritage Edition this week on the broncos birthday. I don't expect it to be a hybrid.

E5j is raptor 4 door
E4j is 2 door ‘oats’ I’ll go with high performance 2 door 3.0 engine

Maybe it's the return of the Warthog name. Not a raptor but a Warthog to differentiate itself from the 4 door. And I agree it will be a high performance version. Will it be a 3.0 or a Ford Performance tuned 2.3 or 2.7?
Here is my guess because I have done a lot of trademarks
its actually not the name of the vehicle
its probably an acronym with a variation of the following:
On Application Trademark Exam Status
Official Application Trademark Exam Status
There is no trademark currently for something called “Oates” for Ford Motor Company
there are two ways to get a trademark:
a name you are currently using in commerce
or
a name you will be using in commerce
However, Warthog has been approved for a principle register with the USPTO as long as Ford simply makes the name public in an ad or announcement. They have asked for 2 extensions for the “Statement of Use” and both have been approved. More than likely with the delays in Bronco manufacturing they have not been able to get to a place where they can release the name for this Bronco variation.. They have 6 months for their extension request which would make it expire sometime this August. i think they can do one more extension, after that they would lose the trademark.
I don’t think Ford would continue to request an extension on a name if they weren’t going to use it. Warthog doesn‘t really fit the Maverick or F150 or something plug in electric. A 2 door Bronco makes sense. And because this is for a 2023 which is fast approaching - - “OATES” as far getting a trademark would be more than a year out If the applied for it today!

At least we know there will be a new model of the awesome 2dr! Making the Braptor 4dr only was a stupid idea approved by Ford's anti -liability attys for folks with poor driving skills or weak knees.
I hope they call it the Warthog! Please Ford just do this.
The name sounds so much tougher (and American) than the soy-boy-toy names they put on most
automotive crap.
A tough, mean looking, bad-ass, powerful Bronco should have a name that reminds us of those qualities. Not some weak sounding non-offensive, generic, PG rated , emaciated, gender confused crap name.
Hopefully it's an E-85 flex fuel version that eats "Oats" instead of drinking dino juice.
Rollin Oats instead of rollin Coal.

Since this thread is the main discussion/speculation on the Oates Edition, I'll just leave this here for someone to decipher. Now that the Heritage Edition has been revealed, Paul Wraith has now turned his focus on teasing the Oates Edition. If you don't know who Paul Wraith is, then you need to brush up on your Bronco history. In one of his teaser posts, he posts a sign that I'm not sure what to decipher from it. Maybe someone can figure out the puzzle. Anyway, without further ado...
