    Pfff. I'll believe it when they come out with an actual bronco. Actually, scratch that. I don't even want a bronco anymore. A vehicle that has been kept so secret with only a promise of "soon" for almost a decade now, my conclusion is that it's been stuck in hell-by-committee. And the general rule of thumb is that if any product, project, music, or film ever finds itself in development hell, it will wind up being a total piece of shit by the time its finally released.

    This is going to be as bad as the Bradley tank. This will be Alien 3 on wheels. I'm convinced its going to be bad. I really hope it wont be, but I think it will be.

    Bradley isn’t a tank it’s a PC. Trust me, I was a tanker when I was a pup...

    If I remember right, it's a PC that originally came from a request to build a scout. Which then quickly turned into a PC. Then it turned into a PC with a big ass turret, then it was a 12 foot tall PC with a big gun that could also somehow scout and medivac, then I think someone came to their senses and salvaged the design as best they could into the fighting vehicle that finally made it into production.

    You are correct sir. They basically wanted a pc/fighting vehicle with the ability of a tank which as you know is very similar to what happens when people buy a midsized truck then expect the gas mileage of a car and the performance of a full sized truck.

    That is just a drivetrain test mule. We know it's Ranger based, so it makes sense that there is a modified Ranger body. I have been waiting forever to see the damn thing. I would solid front axle, front and rear lockers, and the ability to add 33's if not 35's without modification. Add those and I am in. Especially if they do release a Raptor version.

    I hope the rendering is better than the disguised version. either way, it's going to be a beast with the 2.3 at 300HP

    Toyota could join the party by offering a FJ40 ute styled Tacoma retro truck. It would probably suck but maybe one step closer to a 4.0, 6 manual, manual transfer case Tacoma with rear disc brakes.

    Me too. I'm not sure where those come from or if any are based on facts. I have seen a few that are cool and a few not. Surprised that we have seen nothing on it. Maybe they are hoping to build suspense for the grand reveal.
