Ford Bronco Confirmed For 2020 Revival

The engineering efforts of Ford Australia will be put to use to revive the iconic North American Bronco compact off-roader.

The American car maker confirmed that from 2020 it will re-introduce the Bronco, originally produced from 1966 until 1996, with confirmation that it will be based on the same ladder-frame underpinnings as the Ranger ute and Everest four-wheel drive that have been developed by Ford's Australian engineering division.

While the Bronco will utilise the Ranger's basic chassis and other major components, the rest of the car will be designed and engineered in the US where it will also be built.

Ford's Chief Technical Officer and Executive Vice President of Product Development, Raj Nair, was reluctant to reveal any further details on the Bronco when quizzed by Australian media at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show.
