Has anybody heard anything about a new Bronco that's due to come out in 2005? I have some friends who are into old Broncos, and they've been touting this thing. Just a general curiosity. Thanks. |

Ford has a concept vehicle that has been making the rounds at the Auto Shows. Other than that, I haven't seen any indication it is coming back. Bud |

Dare I say it? After further review, I think I that I could certainly be "made to feel at home 7 days prior to now." Oops. Axel, be gentle with me. I'm calling it on myself. |

That nitrous oxide booster doesn't sound too promising for off road use. It would either get you REALLY stuck or send over a cliff or into a tree. |

There have been several articles on the Bronco concept in Automotive News. The concept car that has been touring is built on the escape platform. J.Mays, Ford's head designer has suggested that if it indeed comes to market it should be body-on-frame and perhaps built on the Ranger platform. There has also been discussion that the concept lends itself to a shared platform with a new D-90. |
