All that said, a larger 3 row Bronco makes sense. As long as they do it right and not just tack on 18" to the ass end.

And to all the 2-door purists clutching their pearls and yelling at the clouds, the new Bronco doesn't get green lit without a 4-door. I am sure Ford observed the quick rollercoaster that was the FJ and realized averaging 25k units a year was not worth a billion dollar investment
It honestly doesn't seem like that much of an investment to make a modern day F-150 based bronco, especially if they go with a non-removable roof.

Suddenly you have a vehicle for all those guys complaining about the loud, leaky roofs, and you have something for the people who need 3-rows of seats.

Fords gone through all this trouble making a new brand based off the Bronco, they may as well add another vehicle to the lineup.

Donā€™t need a bigger Bronco.

What I DO need is a new version of a true Excursion on a 2500 platform with diesel V8 option.

My 2003 6.0 Excursion just rolled over 285k and going strong after some fresh rebuilds

It would be a shame to ruin the departure angle, and the break over on the 4 door is already less than ideal without Squatch. The two door is just the right size. :ROFLMAO:

That might be feasible. Mercedes still does it in their wagons and I want one so my kids can pick boogers at the car behind us like I used to do in the Oldsmobile wagon.

call it the Bronco-XL.


buy an Expy, they are great trucks.
At first i thought you meant Excursion, which are now , what? 20 years old?
Then I realized you were referring to Expeditions.

I brought that up before, exact same Bronco XL name ... I suggested basically a new "Tremor-ed" Excursion.

"A source " mentioned they already have one in the works, a few years out yet.

So, about the time they work through all the current Bronco reservations .... they'll have a new line forming to the right. LOL
At least you'll have a fun sized Bronco to drive around in while you're waiting for the heavy haul Bronco.

I have been saying for a while the Everest would do well here. Competition in the BoF SUV market is pretty limited. There are many who want a go anywhere SUV but don't necessarily want a removable top and doors.
Any third row SUV needs to be on a full size truck frame. Period. Craning a third row into the back of a 4Runner, Explorer, or Honda pilot does nothing but create an uncomfortable ride for the people who jam into the back, not to mention it destroys cargo space.
Proper third row vehicles are Expeditions, Suburbans, and maybe something like the Sequoia.
I'm still waiting for my beloved Borrego to make its glorious return.

No more Broncos until they build all of the orders they have. The over hang on this thing would kill you on the trails.
but not at the mall or taking the kids to soccer

Letā€™s be honest, the vast majority of Bronco owners will very seldom, if ever, go off road. A Bronco with additional space would make sense for a lot of people.

Is that extended cab truck on the #3 render proportions? Could we see it on the #1 render proportions (four-door with a big ass)?
