Anderzander Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 We’ve had a few things posted on here about the new Bronco - the more I see of it the more I like it and the more it seems to be a reinvention that is really true to its roots. British designer too 😊👍🏻 Here’s the new factory variant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Why cant we easily have these big Fords in the UK?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 It's not that big ? 2.3 4 cyl ? I like it a lot , I've got a liking for pillarless door windows anyway but the whole truck looked well thought out with plenty of useful factory options and what looked to be a durable interior . Apart from the trucks I'd also like the space and relative trail freedom the US has ... Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA Ford don't build them to meet UK/Euro approval standards, but there's always the personal import method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I think it's the 2.3 turbo engine, so essentially the same as the Focus RS engine, which is derived from a Volvo unit, I believe. Well capable of an unstressed 300bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hmmm, quite like that, in a funny sort of way it looks a bit more straightforward and less funny that the Pretender. Not sure I'm a ball cap wearing "whoop, whoop, all riiiiiiight, yahooo, yeah" kinda guy though so I'm probably ruled out from owning one.

Nonimouse Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'm very taken with it. But then I like Bronco's from all ages, especially the first gen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well capable of an unstressed 300bhp. 2.3 as the base engine (think it is 270hp) or the 2.7 Ecoboost V6 with 310hp. Suspect there will be a V8 at some point too.

Indeed as I am sure my numerous friends across the pond will attest. BTW My comments were somewhat tongue in cheek 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
