Almost every one of these crossovers looks the same to me. Slightly different wheels and grills. Not a fan at all. I was really hoping the new Bronco would look something like below but I'm sure it will be another minivan.

Toyota better not. Isn’t it based on the Hilux which is huge internationally? I could see them consolidating it all onto say the Tacoma frame or something. But throwing away body on frame.... please no.

I read that just fine and still stand by Ford fricking up the entire Bronco name by creating a small crossover and calling it Bronco Scout.... er Adventurer... er baby Bronco.

Dig a little deeper in my post.

So it almost seems fitting that Ford's new, rugged-looking Escape-based Bronco Scout—which may actually end up being called the Ford Adventurer—will launch before the highly anticipated Ranger-based Bronco.


So it's not the actual Bronco. Cool.

Y’all can all blame that little shite Land Rover.... That’s why they’re building these cars that in no way should be using those names...

At one time, the Bronco and Blazer were men’s trucks... Before they called them SUVs...

I’m no car executive ... but wouldn’t it be easy to just mimic the old body design exactly but tiny changes to accommodate new comforts of modern cars? Put some bad arse stitched leather seats in and a good factory audio setup...they would be the number one selling vehicle easily.

After the initial launch in the fourth quarter of next year (the Bronco will be built at the same Michigan Assembly Plant as the Ranger), Ford is expected to offer a variant of its 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6 making about 350 horsepower and as much as 400 lb-ft of torque as part of the Bronco's powertrain mix. It's uncertain whether Ford will name it the Bronco Raptor or Bronco ST, although an all-new Ranger, due in the 2023 model year, will also be offered with the engine and the Raptor name


They are making one for women and soccer moms and one that is gonna be badass and do awesome off road stuff. just give them a year.

Pretty sure that's the "mini" Bronco. The real Bronco is supposed to be using the new Ranger platform.
