I think you are right, RSMan. A Raptor SUV--but not a Bronco...

The Jeep looks good! It suffers for being a Chrysler & a Fiat product--both manufacturers have had dismal reliability issues off-and-on for decades. There comes a point when wheelbase length becomes a genuine handicap, just like too much weight and too much width. I hope the Jeep truck is tested...

Me three! I'm retiring in fifteen months and hope that the 2020 Bronco's specs will be known by that time. I've saved enough for the build-up of my '66 Bronco--or to buy a 2020 Bronco outright if Ford smacks one over the centerfield fence and into a residential neighborhood a half-mile beyond!

There are some great-looking Early Broncos in this thread!!

I drive a '66 Bronco at times, a 2010 Ford Flex at times, and a 2003 Focus ZX5 to work. The commute has a lot of traffic (insufficient lane count) and four-wheel drums are frankly insufficient in these days of four-wheel discs and ABS. On a downhill stretch in the commute, catastrophe was...

Everything in Simmy's post just above is true. It would be so easy for Ford to get this right: Copy the frame & body of the '66 Bronco, including the removable roof the and removable door windows. Modify the frame & body to increase suspension travel and perhaps to allow greater-capacity fuel...

VW just accepted a guilty plea in order to get off with just a $1 billion fine. FCA needs to accept a $1 billion fine as well and either get out of the diesel business or buy their diesels from a manufacturer that has the smarts to build diesels that actually can meet diesel emissions...

Well said, Hugo! But careful here--Detroit & Dearborn interpret "boldness" to mean "the opposite of simplicity". Lots of swoopy side sculpting, slanty headlights exaggerated in length, dreadful simulated "air extractor" rubbish under the rear bumpers, and weird rooflines (The old Dodge Magnum...

Don't forget that the FJ was fugly--some trim "reminiscent" of the FJ40 (the trim around the headlights & grille, for one...) but no FJ40 soul. Fugly doesn't sell.

Be aware that with the best CAD/CAM software package or the best photoshop equipment I still could not produce anything as stellar as the six proposals at the head of this thread. But I can post opinions all day long! Go with the rounded wheelwell openings--the more "squarish" openings remind...

Then get an early Bronco--don't LOOK the part! BE the part! Go '66 and you are pre-emissions! You'll have lower annual vehicle inspection fees because they will only check your safety equipment and NOT the emissions equipment that your vehicle was not required to have! Easy to work on, easy to...

OK, Ford, make me cash in my life insurance and withdraw the balances in my IRAs by offering this: 1. Body-On-Frame 2. Two doors with removable windows 3. Removable roof with a liftback 4. 5-speed manual driving a dual-range transfer case 5. Solid axles front and rear 6. Front & rear 9"...

I'm glad to read of this. I was saving up for a full rebuild of my '66 289 Bronco but this gives me pause. But only pause: I like my pre-emissions Bronco--and no nasty turn signals on the sides, either! The 9" is great, the fold-down windshield is great, and the removable front windows are...
