me too, really niceThis looks great, I would buy this.
ok now this with a truck bed no more seats I would be in line "again" lol I am still hoping they build one. I think I see more gladiators than normal jeeps nowMy take on what this would look like.
Now, if they would only deliver it before I get put in a home!Fords about money. Not heritage. Lucky we even got a 2 door. They had to release the vehicle before the target market hit
the nursing homes.
Opinions are simply opinions, not necessarily based on actual facts and not necessarily correct….opinions…You'd be wrong. The F-150 based Broncos outsold the little Gen 1 Broncos by a huge margin. The 1st Broncos were not some beloved vehicle at the time. They were a niche vehicle that barely sold enough to be worth building. They were not like the Mustang which sold a half million in the first year.

Yes and no. The serious off roader going elsewhere is not what killed the Bronco. The American buyer going elsewhere is what did. At the time, Americans wanted more comfort and, gasp, moar doors..So, to be more specific, as the Bronco morfed into a full size 4x4 truck, the serious off readers went elsewhere….
Same with the 90's Bronco.They were not like the Mustang which sold a half million in the first year.
I feel personally attackedThat'd be money!
IMO the Explorer Timberline is an obvious cash grab. Just some AT's and lipstick on a soccer mom vehicle. Would have been great to see a truck based BOF SUV. My hunch is there's plenty of guys who settled on an F150 who don't need a truck but would buy this in a heartbeat.
Haha don't worry my opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it!I feel personally attacked
Those figures go to show that Ford doesn't need to label the Gen2 Excursion with a Bronco Badge. Just as the Blazer want-to-be, Gen2-6 Bronco's should have never carried the Bronco Badge.Yes and no. The serious off roader going elsewhere is not what killed the Bronco. The American buyer going elsewhere is what did. At the time, Americans wanted more comfort and, gasp, moar doors..
Same with the 90's Bronco.
Compare that to the Explorer and the answer was obvious. More Doors.
Add in late 90's Expedition production numbers and Ford probably re-captured most of the lost Bronco sales.
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
But pair those figures with current Bronco demand and the explosion of the "active lifestyle" (whether real or Insta-grammed) and any forward thinking businessman can see a market opportunity.Those figures go to show that Ford doesn't need to label the Gen2 Excursion with a Bronco Badge.
Look at all that wasted roof rack space you could have had!!My take on what this would look like.
Depends on what all you want to do. That optional air-ride system limits how high you can lift the truck. They are heavy pigs compared to the F150.Gen 1 Expys were the shit, taking on any F150 off road mods.
