I really canā€™t see Ford using ā€œWarthogā€. I get that some folks love the name; but it is polarizing. A ā€œlove it or hate itā€ kind of name.... Marketing would strongly advise against it. ā€œDo you really want people to associate the new Bronco with a pig?ā€. Fair question. The answer would be ā€œnoā€. Too much money is on the line.

It is a Bronco brand product, Bronco will be in the name.... so this might qualify more as an edition than any thing else.... after all, the Bronco itself is fully upgradeable so unless this new Bronco variant is on a completely different chassis, it canā€™t really be called a different model.... and Ford has Bronco Special Edition names not currently in use.... like the Stroppe Baja Edition, or the Free Wheelinā€™ Edition....

Ford Bronco "Bronco Raptor" may be production name for "Warthog" model a-10-thunderbolt-ii_011
Actually, the A-10 is called the ā€œThunderbolt IIā€. It was nicknamed the ā€œWarthogā€ only because it is so fugly.

I actually like Warthog.... but if it can't be that... what about Honey Badger?

But it will more than likely be either Bronco R or Bronco Raptor....

In fact, itā€™s not even clear which of the four warthogs inspired the Warthog name to begin with.
They actually left one off..

1. Airplane
2. Military Vehicle
3. The Game (Halo)
4. The Animal
5.
Ford Bronco "Bronco Raptor" may be production name for "Warthog" model 1621879487747
