Stop future plans please. And please just deliver the ones already ordered. Thanks.

These kinda autos - us Broncos and Jeep folks. We don't usually trade-in for the next model of this type of build. We just add the upgrades ourselves. That's what makes modular cars/trucks fun.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a thread about a new model that doesn’t have 500 people saying “buht what about my Bronco, I want it now!!” The development team doesn’t coincide with manufacturing. I know this is hard for a lot people to understand but do some thinking and ya might realize it one day.

And here I thought they pulled workers off the assembly line to dream up new models. I suppose next you're going to tell me plants do not crave Brawndo.

So... they should just shut everything down and stop development completely until the chips arrive for the Dirt Mountain Broncos? And also don't bother building and delivering Broncos they do have parts for?

Yes, exactly. They should just shut down.
Actually, I was being sarcastic. But creating new designs and promising new stuff when they can't deliver what they have already sold is a little aggravating.

Learn how auto manufacturing works. Thanks.

The designers have to work, they have to plan for the future. It will all be caught up at some point and when this norm hits, they need the new stuff.

Yes, we all know this. But advertising it when they can't deliver what they've already designed is annoying.

GM did something similar starting in around 2001 and offered them until 2007, but I think they skipped a few years in the middle for some reason. It was basically a light duty 2500 in that it was a 2500 body configuration (bigger crew cab body with a longer bed, neither of which were offered on 1500s at the time) with a 6.0 V8. I think they had 4 wheel steering, too.


Tys are at the top of my "attainable" dream car list. Maybe once the kids are grown and gone, I'll be able to find one. I scour Bring A Trailer from time to time and rarely see them come up. I've seen a few Syclones, but that's it. I used to race my Lightning on an 1/8th mile track 20 years ago and a guy would bring out a Typhoon from time to time. I haven't seen one on the road in years.

Years and years ago, I'm too old, Ford used to make an F100 and an F150. Cant remember when this stopped, maybe 1979??? I owned a '79 F100. The F150 was referred to, at least where I lived, as a "heavy half."

Ford had some strange variants too, like the 98 F250 which was an F150 with a stouter rear axle until the Super Duty came along then in the early 2000s an F150 7700 which was similar to that F250. Both had 7 lug axles, which was just Ford being weird.

I forgot about the 7 lug axles! That used to be a dead giveaway back when the 150s and 250s shared a body style.

I always said the new Ranger should have been an F100, then the Mav could have been the Ranger.

Ford Says New Versions / Variants of F-150, Maverick And Bronco Are Coming

Some interesting nuggests of information emerged from Ford's Q2 2022 Earnings call this week. CEO Jim Farley confirmed the Mustang's debut at the Detroit Auto Show, and the Blue Oval's boss also discussed the F-150, Maverick, and Bronco.

According to Farley, three of Ford's most popular models have some incredible variants in the works.

"Our design center is filled with new products and derivatives that will further strengthen our hit vehicles in the ICE and hybrid franchises like F-150 and Bronco and Maverick," Farely said.​

​

We recently uncovered a trademark filing for the Maverick Lightning (and Ranger Lightning), but as he used the word hybrid and not electric, we think he's referring to something else.

Ford has previously acknowledged it was experimenting with an AWD version of the existing hybrid Maverick, so that could very well be what Farley was talking about. It's been a while, but we've also uncovered patents for a Maverick Tremor, so that could also be in the works at Ford. "You can only imagine the kind of things that we're cooking up in our design studio with Maverick," concluded Farley.

Farley also dropped hints about a new SuperDuty F-150. Really, that's all he said, so we won't speculate too much here. This could be anything, from a model-specific update to more far-reaching changes to the truck.

Besides, the prospect of a luxury Bronco is more interesting. People love to make fun of Bronco (and Jeep owners, more often) for parking their cars in lots instead of at trailheads. For those folks, Farley said that "you can imagine high-end versions, all sorts of things."

We certainly like the idea of a more uprated interior for the Bronco. While there are already roughly 77 zillion ways to build out a Bronco (and believe us, we do so endlessly), all trims are extremely off-road focused. It'd be nice to see the other side of that horse-shaped coin. We imagine we'll hear more at the 2022 Detroit Auto Show this September. That's always a huge event for Ford. -
