I'm not sure there will ever be a market for a 2 door SUV again. But if they build one I'll seriously consider getting one. It must have a removable top or no real Bronco enthusiast will be interested. A new Bronco would look good sitting next to my 92.

God I had forgotten I had a '72 Bronco with a 302 in it. Thoes were the days...4 wheeling and single....Bob Segar playing on the 8 track.


I'm sure Ford would sell a ton if they brought it back.

Bronco clickbait articles need to be eliminated.

There's no hard evidence in that. Applying for patents and trademarks means nothing. Companies do this all the time and some for projects that never happen or don't happen for a long time. The new Ranger would likely come out first, since it unlike the Bronco...it actually exists.

The April Fools joke with a photoshopped Atlas concept fooled many. Still fooled many even several months later on here.

Personally, I would never buy a 2 door SUV myself, but I have a pretty good memory , and I remembered a bunch of forum members expressed interest in a new Bronco a while back.

So for you Bronco fans, don't listen to the naysayers, they have no idea what may be coming down the new vehicle pipeline.

As an example of know-nothingness, here is an article from July 27, 2012, just 3 years ago.

This morning Ford called the Wall Street Journal's suggestions "premature." The company said it is looking at many ways to reach the 54.4 mpg target by 2025 and that a fully aluminum pickup truck is likely to have many things working against it. One expert in a Detroit News article, documenting Ford's refute, said there would be significant extra expenses in designing, building and repairing any vehicle that uses a lot of aluminum.
For now, it doesn't look like we'll get an all-aluminum truck anytime soon, but we can expect more experimentation in certain suspension, frame and body panel components, looking for the right balance that keeps the strength but loses the weight.
Remember that? I do. How right were the naysayers then?

As a Ford loyal '13 Explorer owner and past Bronco enthusiast I would much rather see this or something similar built and sold in the US market.
