The 2016 Ford Bronco rumors have started dying down especially now that it is already the eighth month of 2016 and it is unlikely for any carmaker to release a brand new vehicle model this late.
Thus, the rumors about the 2017 Ford Bronco started heating up as of late. However, the basis of the 2017 Ford Bronco rumors is actually the same as that of the now fading 2016 Ford Bronco speculations.
But some are saying in some reports that the 2017 Ford Bronco shall come out looking like a cross between a Ranger and an Everest, notes Carsoid.
Accordingly, the 2017 Ford Bronco shall be aimed to compete directly with the Wrangler and the upcoming Trailblazer. Just like the 2016 Ford Bronco rumors, the American carmaker has yet to say anything about a 2017 Ford Bronco.
But in February this year, the American carmaker announced that they will be having four new SUVs beginning next year until 2020.
While it did not disclose any details about the four planned SUVs of Ford, critics believe that the iconic Ford Bronco brand shall get its reboot in 2020 and not in the first three years. Since Ford has yet to make any confirmation, it is best to take all types of information with regards to the Bronco.
That also goes without saying that the 2017 Ford Bronco rumors still have the right to be since Ford has not said anything official at all.
To be built side by the side with the Ranger
According to reports, the 2017 Ford Bronco shall be using a platform and in the same factory as the Ranger.
The same reports are also saying that the 2017 Bronco might come out late next year, which makes it suspect yet again.
The 2017 Ford Bronco shall be specifically tailored for the US market and it shall reportedly feature a new design, new engines, and a new interior as well.
Some critics believe that the Bronco shall borrow some design elements from the original model and keep it firmly close to its roots as well as the 2004 concept presented during the North American International Auto Show that same year in Detroit, Michigan.
The exterior of the car is deliberately primitive and brutal. It will have a square shape as if it is cut from a single piece of metal featuring large round xenon headlights, squeezed onto the sides of the rough grille lattice in the middle of which is flaunted the inscription ‘Bronco,’ details Cars In Trend.
A highly-anticipated SUV
The 2017 Ford Bronco is one of the most highly-anticipated SUVs to look forward to from the American car manufacturer after it stopped production of the iconic brand back in 1996.
The SUV shall be utilizing the same chassis that was used to build the Ford F-150 but there are also reports saying that it would utilize the Atlas concept model.
The third set of rumors says that it would come out similar to the 2004 concept presented by Ford during the North American International Auto Show and it will feature Ford’s new SUV design language as well as its latest pickup trucks.
Accordingly, the side of the 2017 Ford Bronco would be quite long and it would have six lug aluminum wheels, dual taillights, two flat exhaust tips, an accompanying chrome bumper, and big tailgate.
