Where Can I Find This Thing

oh yea

A lot of people are poking fun at the new Bronco but I say we should give it a chance first. I am a major fan of the older 4x4's and would take one any day over a newer Bronco but in this day and age, there is not much to choose from if you want a decent 4x4. But I would much rather be seen in a new Bronco than some crappy trailblazer.

Nice looking rig. Is this for real?, or just something computer generated?

Looks like a cross between an early Bronco and a '70 something IH Scout II.

If it is "real", is it a concept truck from Ford?

Don't tease us with just a photo.

ignore the last question. I should have read the older posts first and my questions about this picture would have been answered.

i think that the concept for the new bronco is totally awesome.

i hope it goes into production so i can get ahold of one.

IF, God forbid, it does go into production, you'll never get it as it's shown. There won't be a 4cyl diesel for it, there certainly won't be any NOS for it, and I can only HOPE the FWD is a sick and twisted joke

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... the Bronco will never be what it once was, let it die

I agree. No low range? C'mon. It may be nice looking to some folks, but it really is the latest edition of the "Grew out of minivans, my kids left home, I need a 3/4 ton truck to get a bottle of milk home from the store" crowd, JUST like the friggin H2, but, as it sits, less capable if you want to actualy wheel it.

Gawd I dislike new trucks. Why on earth do they think they have to make trucks/cars that do everything for us? Automatic 4wd?? How hard is it to pull a lever???? ANd, the additional cost manufacturing the vehicle, with all that garbage, vs. just making a lever. I saw a hybrid car the other day. The think had this doohicky that you put on the keychain. It senses when you are close to the car and unlocks the doors for you. Cool? yeah I guess, but again, Adds cost to the car. We all, for the most part, like to work on our rigs at home. How are we going to work on these things in 10-20 years? We won't. Disposable cars is what they are. EXPENSIVE disposable cars.

Oh well, I'll shut up now. Like David said, it won't change. The future is here.

Save the Bronco you drive now. Baby it, care for it, rebuild it. You'll never buy a new truck like that ever again.

Well said! While I like the overall concept of the "new" Bronco and it's cues to the EB styling, I won't spend $40K on a new vehicle of any kind. Call me a conservative, but I'm old school and prefer to drive 4x4's from 20-30 years ago. I'm not too lazy to pull a shift lever or get out and lock the hubs and get my Gucci's muddy!!!

I like the new Bronco. It does need a little cleaning up and it really should use the older drive-line but it needs to have the removable hardtop and 25+ MPG! All the auto manufacturers have the ability to build a fuel efficient vehicle capable of 30+ MPG but they won't not can't.

Tell Ford what you think. Bronco Driver Magazine has the scoop on it.

Anyone living in the Albany NY area be sure to go to the Auto Show at the Pepsi Arena this weekend (April 2,3 & 4) to check this thing out.

Well I don't mind the body style, the only thing that I don't like is the desiel 4cyl. Bersonally I feel that is should be a mild V8 under the hood beacuse that is what makes a bronco a bronco.

I have seen the new Bronco and it is good.

I went to the Albany NY Auto Show to check out all of the new cars and trucks but I found myself spending most of the time going over the 2005 Concept Bronco.

The more I looked at it, the more I like it.

I do have to admit I am not a big fan of the 2.0L Turbo Diesel w/ NOS for 2 reasons, 1 diesel fuel is not as easy to get as gasoline and 2 where the heck am I going to get the nitrous bottle filled?

I feel it should have at least a V6 capable of 35+ MPG and the price should be affordable for everyone.

Something else I am not too sure about is the fact that it is 80% aluminum. Yea it looks real good but how is it going to hold up when I take this thing from the dealership lot to the backwoods in my area? Will it take it or am I going to need to replace parts every weekend?

I do like the built in winch and big "mud type" tires plus it looks like it has the removable roof both front and back.

They put the "quad suspension" shocks on the rear and what looks like struts up front, again all aluminum. It also has a full length skid plate which is and isn't a good idea, one it will help protect everything underneath but it will make it easy to get hung up on rocks if you catch them just right also it will make more work for us to work on the driveline.

It looks like Ford did try to think about the "off roaders" when they designed the new Bronco, but they do have to make some changes before they release it.

I was told Ford is thinking about a 2006 release for this beast

I will get some pictures up when I get them developed and on disk.

Well I finally got the pics on disk so here they are...

I hope they change some stuff on it. As you can see everything is aluminum.

The 2 square spots in the skid plate (which goes from the front to the back) are the exhaust ports.

All the tan inside is leather!

It may be hard to see but they put the "bucking Bronco" in the dash between the tach and speedo.

Keep in mind, this is the CONCEPT Bronco! Things are going to change.

I wasn't a fan of the diesel motor at first but with the price of gas clearing $2.00 per gallon and diesel being about $1.85 per gallon it might be a good idea. Maybe Ford knew about this when they came up with this idea.

I hope they do and don't leave all that aluminum, I like the way it looks but I don't know if it will hold up the the off roading.

Ford couldn't give me a ballpark price on this beast but I've heard it will be close to $40,000. I hope I heard wrong.
