Are they going to rebadge the Ranger and call it the Bronco?
That looks as pretty as the original Everest mules when they welded a Territory rear to a Ranger front. I am sure someone has an image of that to post and compare.

Actually after further consideration and analysis of the images and other information to hand, I believe the US Bronco will essentially be an Australian Ranger Raptor with a shortened 2 door body.
Hopefully for Australia, that platform is both left and right hand drive.

Those mules were actually long term chassis eval units, Tooling prove out trials were successful back in April and the first of the proto bodies have been built, most likely circulating at night around Detroit...shutter bugs must be lazy. Quote:

I quite liked the fan-made Bronco design. Viewable on an earlier Bronco thread.

apparently, after 9 years, the Ranger is now considered a Global program as it sells in North America. It seems the 150 other countries it has been selling in for nearly a decade don't count

don't know Jack about the complexity of a true international platform and building multiple models at the same time in the one plant.. I remember a few years back, GMNA engineers came and saw how Elizabeth was run pumping out all kinds of different Zetas in RHD, LHD, SWB. LWB; Utes, S'Wagons and it really did their heads in trying to work out just how that was even possible. What's that joke about walking and chewing gum...... |

VT was the ultimate use of a platform.
Don't think it's ever been matched yet. Granted VW and Toyota has alot of vehicles based off a few platforms, but not as varied as the VT.

I bet the NA guys were surprised when someone told them that cars drive on the other side of the road in some countries.
