I think if anyone's been pounding the table for an all-new Ford Bronco, it would be AutoSpies' Agent 001. There are certain cars the head honcho knows would be a hit and this is one of them.
Recently at one of the major auto shows we were walking the floor and he made an excellent point:
"Why is it neither of the Big Three American manufacturers has a Jeep Wrangler competitor?"
Considering the Wrangler sells in large numbers and essentially has the market to itself, it's a great question. I can't throw a stone without seeing a handful in New Jersey and 001's local Jeep store only has three in stock. So, why wouldn't Ford step up to the plate?
Recent rumors indicate it may just happen come 2020. And, the Blue Oval has shown a concept previously — though this was YEARS ago (2004). This led to the creative rendering put together by enthusiasts of a Bronco-specific forum.
That said, what do YOU make of it? IF the next-gen Ford Bronco looked like THIS, would you ditch your current ride?

We share with you our 2020 Ford Bronco renderings which provides a conceptual look at the 6th generation Bronco. For our concept Bronco, we fused styling elements from previous Bronco generations, the 2004 Bronco concept, and modern Ford trucks and SUVs. You can see the classic round headlights and square inset front grille evolved from the 1st gen Bronco, which was also showcased in the retro-futuristic 2004 Bronco concept. Our concept features a modern body on frame next generation Bronco that retains a tall, boxy, tough, no-frills design with a strong focus on utility and off-road capabilities. We fitted separate versions with different grilles, wheel fender shapes, varying ride heights, and cargo rack for some different looks.
The Ford Bronco is expected to make a return for the 2020 model year and will be a direct Jeep Wrangler competitor, with Ford planning to build a full-sized 6th generation Bronco at its Michigan Truck Plant in Wayne, Michigan. Our sources tell us that while Ford is in the early stages of planning, the company has purchased Wrangler Unlimited and Wrangler Unlimited Rubicons for benchmarking and is shooting for best-in-class capabilities, striving to exceed the JKU Rubicon's performance in certain trims of the Bronco 6G.
We think this design concept would represent a worthy successor to the storied Bronco nameplate. Let us know what you think!
