Structure

According to Ford new version of Bronco will be like all good off-road vehicles released before it like the Jeep Wrangler. It will be a 4×4 with real body-on-frame no-compromise vehicle. According to Raj Nair, the Product Development Chief of Ford, 2020 Ford Bronco may share the frame with the pickup Ranger which may make its debut in 2019 in U.S. It is also assumed that like F-150 Bronco may have aluminum frame as the 2018 model of Jeep Wrangler is expected to switch over to aluminum.

Though nothing officially has been announced in this regard still it is expected that both the new additions, 2019 Ranger and 2020 Bronco may share the same platform. This platform may really make the Bronco an SUV with proper body-on-frame instead of a car based vehicle like Edge or Escape. According to unofficial reports, like current model of Ranger, 2020 Ford Bronco is also expected to be developed in Australia.

Design

According to a verified but anonymous report, received from a designer at Dearborn Development Center of Ford, the new Bronco can be very similar to the recently released Ford Everest with some minor changes in its exterior.

The Everest is a SUV built on the platform of current version of Ranger available exclusively in the markets outside of the U.S. This SUV with five doors was designed in Australia and built in Thailand and includes wide a range of diesel engines from Duratorq. If this information is true then the new version of Bronco will be extremely different from the original Bronco but a bit closer to the Troller, as per the expectations of many people.

Ford has also used its signature EcoBoost engine in its GT Supercar and an off-roader pickup Raptor. This engine may produce somewhat more then 300 horsepower along with enough amount of torque to drive this new SUV excellently. It may also have an engine used in 2018 model of F-150 whereas Ford can also use one of the Duratorq engines popularly used in such vehicles since more than ten years.

Place of manufacturing
