I could see the "new Bronco" having something like that given its target audience.

Although doubtful on the "new Ranger" - but who knows.

Yep - it says the Bronco would be aimed at "off roaders".

Which is somewhat obvious if they end up bringing it back.

"The Ranger will enter a revived field of smaller pickups while the Bronco, known to off-roaders from the 1960s, would likely be aimed at the four-wheel-drive, dirt trail-ready market."

Again...all from the "Detroit Free Press".

Are these the trails most ranger owners think is extreme offroading?

Completely different you fool. This is if 3 tires have no traction it will still send power to one.

Yea, like Ford is going to let some regurgitated SUV nameplate cut into the Raptor's sales.

If they were to do a Bronco, it would probably end up as a CUV like the Cherokee became.
