Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests petition to keep the bronco a truck

as posted on a bronco forum:

As most of you probably know, the next Bronco has gotten the green light for production. However, Ford still has not decided on a platform. There are three possibilities being considered: a Ranger based Bronco, an Escape based Bronco or an "Eco Sport" based Bronco. Obviously, the Escape and Eco Sport (a small car based SUV Ford sells in South America) are not suitable platforms for the next Bronco. Ford is still considering them though. I wrote a letter to Ford about the Bronco already, but I decided a petition with a couple thousand signatures would be more convincing. Unlike many other petitions on Petition Online, this one will actually be submitted to Ford by me.

To sign the petition, go here:

It takes less than a minute to sign. Sure, Ford may ignore it, but I think it is worth trying.

Unfortunately, your information is incorrect, the Escape, built on the CD2 light truck platform, is not a car. Also, however cool it may be, the market for 2 door SUV's (or cars for that matter) is not what it used to be.

I've been concerned about them releasing a watered down Bronco as well. I have an Early Bronco ('68) and would love to see the new one live up to the original's reputation.

Man I loved my dad's 74. It better have a removable top! If not don't build it.
