From what i was told by a ford rep that came to our facility. Production top hat prototypes should be on the road late this winter. They want to do lots of leak testing. Makes sense. We will probably see heavy camo preproduction vehicles. They will probably do most testing in closed facilities...

Yep. Pops had a 79 bronco ranger xlt.

Hey! we just started running the tooling not long ago for the top of the door panels and center console components for the escape/corsair twins.

Wouldn't everybody sh*t themselves if ford managed to pull off what they did with the mustang?

I agree, but the bronco is all new. It's on the next gen ranger platform. General consensus is that the broncobronco, is going to sell faster than it can be produced. Pretty much every ford fan I know is chomping at the bit for it. That being said. I'm 99% certain, they don't want a repeat, just...

With the botched explorer production start-up, I'm hoping the will ensure all their ducks are in a row. My wife really likes the new explorer, but after the fiasco they have been having. We are definitely going to wait a year or two. May even wait until the mid cycle refresh.

With what I have seen in the industry. I'm beginning to wonder If they will make the goal of Q2 2021. That being said. Yes generally speaking 10-12 month bbn of real world testing. Lots of miles in different climates. Testing in NVH chambers, weather testing chambers, etc etc. You seem...

I'm sure there will be packages. An fx4 or off road package, something a little more urban with more wheel less tire. Something sporty, then something basic. Or something along those lines.

I'm sure it's already out there. Either hiding in remote testing areas. Or in plain sight with a jeep body on it. Or just a much more clever frankenranger body, regular cab shortbed. Only people that know there isn't such a thing in the USA would notice it immediately.

Quick side note.... there appears to be four different pick ups. Ranger, F150, super duty, courier...maybe? You can also see the mustang EV. Then in the back appears to be a small transit van with a hat. Maybe autonomous driving vehicle prototype.

I think the one on the left is the "baby", and the one on the right is the real bronco. You are right though. It appears to have fender flares, also a detail to the hood.

I agree, won't be it's own "brand". It will be more like how the F-series represents a line of vehicles.

Believe it or not, a watts link suspension can get a lot of flex. The limits on the Everest are the actual springs. The center pivot can be made longer, allowing higher ride height and overall travel. Rock crawling is more about individual wheel "droop" than overall travel of the entire axle...

I think they are planning a GT500R. A GT500 on a diet, so wieght at this point wasnt as major of a concern.

It's a soft roader. Think people that like to go camping and hiking, that need a vehicle that can 2 track into the woods a bit. This will compete with the subaru Forrester too.
