The last official Ford announcement regarding the Bronco was back in the North American International Auto Show 2004 in Detroit, Michigan where it showcased a concept of the brand, resembling like a cross between a jeep and an SUV.
Then in February this year, the company announced that a new crossover is, in fact, in the works. The vehicle would be based on the same platform as the Ford Ranger, and it would compete head-on with the Wrangler and the upcoming Trailblazer.
According to critics, the new model is actually the 2017 Ford Bronco, after all, the American carmaker has a crossover currently based on the Ranger and it’s the Ford Everest.
This means that the US model of the car, the Bronco, will most likely be based on the same platform as well as a decent number of parts.
The vehicle shall be using a body on frame chassis and that it will be built in the same factory side by side with the Ranger.
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.’
