Also we will be seeing the " Mercedes" pickup in 2018, based on Navara with their own larger diesel . Looks like growth for Global Pickups is on the up, I would guess they are heading for 3 million units by 2020
More on the Ford Bronco, it will be based on the Australian developed Everest SUV and is aimed at challenging Jeep
The report also suggested, and was quoting a source with knowledge of the talks, that Ford is also on the cusp of reviving the Ford Bronco which been dormant since 1996. A concept was shown in 2004 although the project was stillborn. Now, however, it seems that Ford is considering slapping the Bronco name onto the rump of the Australian-designed Ford Everest which is being built in Thailand and is being sold around the world.
The body-on-frame design of the Everest (pictured below) and its focus on rough-road ability would allow it to fill the boots of the Bronco easily and give Ford in the US a direct challenger to the likes of Jeep… the same rivalry that the Bronco enjoyed when it was first launched 50 years ago.
