If it gets built it's going to be a soft roader, hopefully with some off road capability. But Ford is looking for sales, and don't need a Wrangler fighter. They need a Scion fighter.Big Ford Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649352599746912038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11852104.post-1141709355549458152006-03-07T00:29:00.000-05:002006-03-07T00:29:00.000-05:00Ford has enough soft roaders: Edge, Explorer, Free...Ford has enough soft roaders: Edge, Explorer, Freestyle, Escape. Ford should make a true off road.<BR/><BR/> Myself , I don't own trucks. But would love to see them build The Bronco concept style with decent Off/On road handling, 2.5 4cyl , and Under 20 grand , yes I know they say 10,000 target but give me that look and decent drivability and gas milage and I would buy it tommorrow.<BR/><BR/> BobzoomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11852104.post-1141675842774243902006-03-06T15:10:00.000-05:002006-03-06T15:10:00.000-05:00BF, true off roader?

And of the new FJ Cruisers, how many will see trail service. Hell, how many Hummer owners get their trucks dirty? <BR/><BR/>How many people with "Off road" vehicles actually use that capability? Fourwheel drive with decent ground clearance is enough of a start. "Soft Roaders" sell better. Ford needs to compete with Rav4, Tuscon and others, that's where the money is.Big Ford Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649352599746912038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11852104.post-1141675043098087682006-03-06T14:57:00.000-05:002006-03-06T14:57:00.000-05:00the bronco needs to be a true off roader...in the ...the bronco needs to be a true off roader...in the vein of the original...it should be a competitor to the wrangler, and toyota fj<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>bfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
