It wouldn't surprise me. Why not just build a 4 door mustang while their at it.

Sad. I was really hoping to see a Raptor based Bronco. At least build it on the F150 platform. Just another Jeep/FJ Cruiser......

Agree with all of the above. The problem is people want 4 doors, which I get - I'd LOOOOOOVE a centurian. I'd take one over a 2 door bronco in a heartbeat.

Anyway, for the most part people like us aren't the car buying general public. People want a big, oversized car with an SUV like body. Not a truck with cargo space in the back like a bronco is. I'll be passing on anything new they put out I'm sure.

I'm all about 4 doors. Had ford given the Bronco a 4-door option like the Tahoe, maybe it would have remained viable?

Fairly certain it will be a two door. They are having a hard time deciding what power level and suspension the bronco will have. There is talk of a straight axle over IFS.

I work for an aftermarket shop attached to the biggest ford dealer in the world. We put in a bid recently to design and manufacture that first couple prototypes. Ford doesn't even know what it's going to look like yet.

More than likely ranger chassis based. More than likely 2 or 4 door option. More than likely straight axle.

They're really looking to attack the jeep market.

If it's a direct Wrangler killer I'm a buyer 200%. If it's a blah mommy wagon with no prowess or balls i.e. an explorer/escape then f- that!

If the target is a Wrangler they have to have a 4 door Bronco. Otherwise it will just be another Edsel and they will waste another billion dollars.

Well I hope its 2 door but a 4 door wrangler killer would still be in my garage-- a 4 door expedition wannabe-- nope.

Now a 427ci dual turbo v8 800hp on pump gas explorer with the Rapture package would be the best explorer and the best SUV ever made.
