I want the wider wheel base and heavier vehicle for hauling the boat or the flatbed trailer for weight alone, hard to do that safely with an suvawesome guy wrote:Yeah, screw a midsized suv.
What is it supposed to be? Sounds like between an Explorer and and Expedition, which is completely unnecessary. They could stand to replace the Expedition, it is fugly. The new Ranger is going to be their mid-size truck, like Colorado and Tacoma. Looks like the Bronco will have a removable roof, which would be cool, but seems like they just want to bring the Bronco name, but not sure how. As for 2 door Bronco, that's a pretty non-existent market.cwtcr hokie wrote:Bronco being officially announced. Googled some and from what I find they will not get me to buy one. It appears to be downsized from full size and only 4 door configuration, so a bigger explorer I guess, not liking the way it is heading. I would love to replace my 96 with new one but unless it changes that ain't happening
originally it was supposed to be based on the raptor which makes it one heck of a 4WD fun truck with the motor and weight to be a good pulling truck. I agree about the expedition, not a fave of mine. The raptor platform would also give it ample ground clearance. I hope they change their mindsHokieFanDC wrote:What is it supposed to be?

The main difference is that it's built on the Ranger platform, not the Explorer platform. The Ranger platform is body on frame, so would be made for offroading. The Aussies have something called an Everest, and it's good offroad. Not sure about towing though. That depends on engine and drivetrain.cwtcr hokie wrote:originally it was supposed to be based on the raptor which makes it one heck of a 4WD fun truck with the motor and weight to be a good pulling truck.

If it's not based on the F-150 chassis with 2 doors, it's not a Bronco.

Me too, but I view SUV vs truck as just a form factor. If I get the wider wheel base, weight, and full frame then the body is a style preference in my mind. One of my buddies tows his 21 foot walk around and tractors with an E350 van and it does great. It's a full ton chassis with a van form in my mind. I'd rather see the Bronco on a larger F150 frame. But that would be a long vehicle and a Bronco is shorter in my mind for better ground clearance.cwtcr hokie wrote:I want the wider wheel base and heavier vehicle for hauling the boat or the flatbed trailer for weight alone, hard to do that safely with an suvawesome guy wrote:Yeah, screw a midsized suv.
