Ford in the USA is making noises about a new Bronco.
The language used could almost plagiarised from JLR's press releases regarding the new Deefer! [bigwhistle]

Check it out from about the 6.00 minute mark...

Well seeing the original Range Rover was a copy of the original Bronco and the 48 Land Rover was a copy of the original Jeep ( many of which built by Ford) , there has long been a cross fertilization of ideas between Ford and land Rover. Nothing new.
I always wanted a Bronco but I left Ford only months before it launched. I recall driving an F250 "highboy" and that was fun but a long way up.

The trend is definitely away from 'full-size' 4x4's - except of course for all the massive utes in the USA, which are in a category of their own. It seems to be all about image and Ford look to be going for a retro version of the Bronco - exactly what Defender fans have rejected. I reckon their just trying to build the intrigue like Land Rover.

Without watching the video and going by the photo, I wouldn't call it a bronco....all the previous Broncos were basically SWB F trucks. This isn't modeled off the latest F truck at all, it's a completly new design all together.
I miss my F-350 gotta get another one day

Looking at the mid 60's Bronco you can definitely see where LR got the body styling que from.

Here is a real picture of the new Bronco.
It would be good if the new Defender was something like this, but maybe unlikely.

Looks like the DC100.

This look smore faithful to the old version.
Take a leaf, LR!
