First off, the concept "Bronco" looks nothing like the original. End of story. I dont know what vehicle you guys who say it looks similar to are looking at, but to me it looks like a baby H2. Ford is doing the same thing that GM did to the Humvee. Ruining it. Secondly, why would you spend the projected 30-40k on this when you can BUILD your own ORIGINAL EB for almost half that cost? I mean come on, unless you have more money than brains (i.e. proto/stereo-typical soccer moms) why would you waste money on something that is FWD, 128 hp/244 ft lbs with a "nitro boost" that gives you up to 178 hp?
I am running my original 302 block, EFI, roller rockers, GT heads, cam, yadda, yadda, yadda......many extras that would take too long to write down and I am pushing in the neighborhood of 325 hp. Why would I give that up for a doggie diesel that came out of a EUROPEAN car? I also have real axels under my rig and probably the strongest frame ever built for an off road vehicle.
This is something that Ford definatly needs to rethink before they go forward with. Yeah, you will get the same crowd that bought into the Ford Tonka Truck concept, but what about the real world and real workings of the vehicle. I like the idea of making the product you have better....like they have finally done with the F-150.
How bout a real world cost comparison? If you do all the work youself, I mean take every nut and bolt off and put it back on, here is what it would look like:
New Concept Bronco: $30,000-40,000
Original 66-77 Bronco:
Purchase from junker - $2500
Suspension from WH - $2500
Axels (rebuilt or new) - $3500
Lockers - ARB - $1500
Transmission (4 or 5 spd) - $1200
Rebuilt 302 w/EFI - $2500
Body work/paint - $5000
Winch - $900
Tires/rims - $1400
=========================
Total Cost: $21,000
Having the knowledge that you have the best built off road vehicle ever manufactured?
PRICELESS
