Bill Johnson, chairman of UAW Local 900 just provided the first direct confirmation that Ford Motor Company will in fact be reviving the Ford Bronco and it will be produced at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan.

To date, all information about a next-generation Ford Bronco revival have been a collection of balled up rumors, conjecture, unnamed sources and even outright hoaxes. Until now.

Here’s an exciting idea proposed by automotive journalist Chad Kirchner for a Bronco GT Supertruck.

Realistically, the likelihood of a Bronco GT super truck isn’t high, but we think there’s lots of merit to the idea of making a high performance model for the 2020 Ford Bronco.

As Chad points out, people want big cars, as evidenced by current truck and SUV sales figures. Enthusiasts’ desire to have a fast and powerful car isn’t limited to sports cars. Us folks like to go fast in whatever we may be traveling in. So, we think a Bronco GT would absolutely sell… including non-GT models. It’s a fact that halo models help sell the models positioned lower in the lineup. And just the F-150 Raptor has undoubtedly helped general F-150 sales, a Bronco GT/Raptor/Whatchamacallit halo truck would absolutely help promote Bronco sales and image.

Cars Wars is an in-depth study of the US automotive product pipeline, published by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. This study just released covers the upcoming 2017-2020 period.

Of note to us is the appearance of the Ford Ranger and the Ford Bronco, both listed under Ford’s upcoming pipeline for the 2019 and 2020 calendar years, respectively! We don’t know if the banks that undertook the study had insider information, but the Bronco being referenced in such a professional and in-depth study from leading investment banks adds even more smoke to the Bronco fire.

Here is a new article featuring 5 predictions for the New Ford Bronco.  These are of course based on the author’s own speculation as Ford has yet to even officially confirm the new Ford Bronco, but most of the list are reasonable predictions:

• It won’t have a V8
• It won’t be a Tahoe fighter
• It will be built in America
• It will be (mostly) four-wheel drive
• It will almost certainly have a Raptor version

The Ford Bronco has always been a 2-door model, but with the 2020 Bronco’s sights set directly on competing with the Jeep Wranger (of which 4 door models constitute more than 70% of sales), should Ford stay true to the 2-door body style, go 4-door only, or try to cover the widest sales demographic and create both versions?

Have a look at our 2020 Ford Bronco renderings which provides a conceptual look at the 6th generation Bronco.

We fused styling elements from previous Bronco generations, the 2004 Bronco concept, and modern Ford trucks and SUVs. You can see the classic round headlights and square inset front grille evolved from the 1st gen Bronco, which was also showcased in the retro-futuristic 2004 Bronco concept.

Our concept features a modern body on frame next generation Bronco that retains a tall, boxy, tough, no-frills design with a strong focus on utility and off-road capabilities. We fitted separate versions with different grilles, wheel fender shapes, varying ride heights, and cargo rack for some different looks.

The 2016 Chicago Auto Show kicked off this week and a statements made by Mark LaNeve, Ford Motor Co.’s vice president for sales, marketing and service, has set off a fresh round of speculation and buzz regarding a possible 2020 Ford Bronco reincarnation.

Ford Motor Company has confirmed that it will be offering 4 all-new sport utility vehicles to the Ford and Lincoln brand vehicle lineups in the “next few years” according to a report by the Detroit News.

Although the automaker would not confirm which vehicles or provide a more specific timeline, this news comes at a time when SUVs are expected to account for 40-percent of the U.S. auto market within the next four years.

The Detroit Free Press has reported that the UAW (United Auto Workers) union’s tentative agreement with Ford Motor Company, which calls for a $9 billion investment committed to its U.S. plants, includes a new Ford Ranger slated for 2018 and the revival of the Bronco nameplate for 2020.
