| Was talking with a guy who had a '92 and mentioned that they stopped building them in '97 (I think), and he said "They're making them again." The Ford site had nothing about that, so has anyone heard of plans for it? |

There was a concept Bronco three years ago at the Detroit Auto show but nothing ever came of it. Editted to add: http://vtoe.org/pics/bronco.jpg |
Yep. concept for the 2004 Auto show, info here Good lookin' truck, too bad they didn't build it. 
|
I wasn't crazy about the engine choice of the 2.0L turbo diesel but it looked nice. I'd rather have the Jeep Rescue with the Cummins. |
I think it looks gay as hell. BOX toy |
It was very striking in person. I didn't care for the IFS but I doubt straight axles will ever be put in anything other than 1-tons due to the soccer mom factor. |
|
I'd really like to see them take this concept to market: http://z.about.com/d/trucks/1/0/u/U/FordSuperChief_Det08.jpg http://z.about.com/d/trucks/1/0/x/U/superchief_det_fullside.jpg http://z.about.com/d/trucks/1/0/v/U/superchief_det_front.jpg |

To me that thing seems way too big and pointless. It's not a truck- just a tall car with a long trunk. From just pictures I'd take the updated Bronco, at least it's realistically sized and appears functional. Cheers |

IFS simply cannot be engineered to the strength of straight axles without being half the size of the vehicle. Of course, I'm biased, I think all fullsized trucks should ave Dana 60s, minimum. |
Bad attempt at copying the Hummer..

Nice Bronco! That concept car made me think of this and the IH Scout. My uncle had one of the original Broncos when they first came out, I think it was '66. He had the straight six with a three-speed manual, and the manual choke. That truck was a real puller. I almost bought one once with the 289 and an automatic. Maybe someday. I'm not so sure about that concept Bronco, though. Is it something for the H2/3 crowd to road-rage their way to the supermarket, or is it a TRUE 4x4 for off-road use? There was a time when 4x4s had a serious purpose aside from "Bling bling, lookit my spinners." |
yeah, but a Brutha can Roll in that muthafucka! |
Hey thanks. I'm not sure about the concept Bronco either. I read somewhere that it does NOT have a two-speed xfer case, which means NO LOW GEAR! To that I ask, "What's the point then?" |
Yeah, tring too much to look like a Hummer. |
