HAPPENING
>Are you ready for a four-door Ford Bronco hybrid? A Ford engineer with loose lips claims that the next Bronco is already in its third design phase but it is still on track for a 2020 release.
>The all-new mid-size SUV could start around $30,000, pack a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine, and offer a hybrid variant, an insider source tells Gear Patrol.
>“They just commissioned another design study, because they feel it looks too much like a Wrangler,” the Blue Oval snitch tells the New York-based publication.
>“If you’re familiar with the Troller, out of Brazil, that’s the basic concept, but it’ll look like a four-door version of that.”
>Gear Patrol also reports that there will not be a two-door version, but the new Bronco will thankfully have a removable roof that comes off in three sections.

Soiled it
ARE YOUR PANTS READY FOR THE FORD WRANGLER UNLIMITED
Shame they don't just bring the Troller over as a 2-door.

that would be too smart.
Also as sad as it is, they're not wrong about the market not being there. Most of the Wranglers i see on the road these days are 4 door, with a few 2 door here and there.
it makes much more financial sense to start with a 4 door, and if it sells well, eventually come out with a 2 door.
also thats because that would just be a rebadge, and the last thing Ford needs is to anger people over a brand new Ford bronco after 20 years, just being a rebadged foreign market car. we already dodged that bullet with the Everest.

Reminds me of the Mesa Grande from GTA VC & SA
2.7L ecoboost base engine, optional 5.0 probably.
There's no way it won't be a disappointment. Which is pretty incredible consider how hard it is to fuck up something as simple as the Bronco.
