The Concept Bronco III

I was wondering if anyone saw in the March issue of Motor Trend the picture of Ford's new Bronco III they are thinking about making? This one is different than the concept Bronco thats out now, right now this one is only in the drawing stages. Ford plans to put a powerfull V-8 in it and it would have an air ajustable suspension. It wouldn't any fancy options, it would be mainly an off-road truck. Right now it looks better than the current Bronco concept.

Loose the front facia and the all wheel drive and it might just be ok.

much more compact, who wants compact? Bronco's roots in 1966, iv seen a 66 and it dont look like that! big wheels and tires, 15" wheels are plenty good for me. them look like 20". , Adjustable air suspension is an option, only have to adjust it once. hose-it-out interior, now that might come in handy. do they make lockers for awd?

Looks like the rims will protrude out from the tire given extra traction ............Give me a break. Looks like crap.

You think Ford would have learned from the Bronco II. Then again wasn't the Bronco II the "inspiration" for the Explorer? Not that I like the Explorer, but it sold like hotcakes.

I have come to the conclusion that any Bronco that has a number after it blows.

I love the new T-bird, the 05 mustang, GT (formorly GT40). Why are they having soo much trouble making a good looking bronco comback.
