The revival of the Ford Bronco is officially
confirmed, and we have seen speculative renderings of its 2-door version. In
the latest, Bronco6G.com is previewing a bigger, Ford Bronco 4-door in a batch
of renderings.
The Ford Bronco SUV originally had a 2-door body, or
3-door as some like it. The sixth-gen Ford Bronco will be similar in size to
the Ford Ranger, and considering the falling demand worldwide for three-door
vehicles, Ford cannot rule out a five-door variant. The conventional form would
help Ford sell bigger volumes and help the Bronco sail to more markets, given
its practicality.
The next-gen Ford Bronco will sit on the Ford
Ranger’s T6 platform which underpins the Ford Endeavour too.
However, Raj Nair, Executive VP and President, Ford, has assured that the
next-gen Ford Bronco is a completely different product. It will have solid
axles sourced from Dana, the company which supplied the fifth-gen Bronco’s
axles. It will feature a removable “Air Roof” with either four or six modular
roof panels.
The Ford Bronco is currently under development in
Australia, and the production contract was won by Michigan, USA. Before
reviving the Ford Bronco in 2020, Ford relaunches the Ford Ranger in the USA in
2019. The Ranger’s production is tasked to the same plant.
