Bronco to be produced by JMC-Ford in China for local Chinese market [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

[Tricky Mike]

Maybe they can figure out cam phasers, rear main seals, fuel pumps, 8” screen glitches, etc. since Ford America can’t seem to

Their version will be powered by a 200cc Predator.

So 2.3 is not an issue(at this time)???

Never has been luckily, different design.

How 'bout the little 'FORD' above the BRONCO on the grill. I guess 'BRONCO' is not as name brand as it is over here.

makes you wonder if Chinese consumers will complain about American parts the way we complain about Chinese parts

If UAW keeps striking, Ford might as well import these in large volume so nobody needs to wait, and dealer can fk off with their ADMs.

Now they get the squared fenders? Maybe a dumb deer will come run into all 4 of my quarter panels so insurance can replace them (with the heritage ones!)

At least they can’t whine about getting a manual that sounds like it’s got rocks in it.

It's been corrected so for sure they would not have the issue. The German design though is the issue, not China.

I was getting ready to say how much I dislike that being there. First MoD get a proper Bronco Grille....

Squared fenders, like a Jeep?

No, like a Bronco.

No, like a Bronco.

Those weren’t factory flares.

 

[DryYourTears]

No, like a Bronco.

Fixed with photo of correct originial Bronco "flares".

It's so sad it has become difficult to get a good photo of uncut rear fenders, let alone get an original Bronco with uncut flares. I cringe EVERY. TIME. I. SEE. CUT. FENDERS.

I cringe EVERY. TIME. I. SEE. CUT. FENDERS.

Every time?

HE's and Everglades both have them now, Chinese version should(?) use the same specs but who knows. Also they're not offering the 2 door version over there so for now it's exclusive to the HE's only!

Lolol they're only doing 4-door? Probably for China's famously large families with lots of kids ...

Have you noticed the 2 door HE's have a nod to the EB uncut fenders?

vs.

I think Ford is late to the game. The Chinese economy is constricting, and the "easy" manufacturing environment is quickly fading. That said, IF they are able to get this off the ground and keep a legit IP for it they should be able to make a decent show of it.
