"We think the Ford brand is strong enough to just be written out," he said. "Ford has such a strong enough name, why not just spell it out? The same with the bronco name in the front, because the Bronco is a living legend, you don't have to use the Ford oval. Everyone knows it's a Ford. It couldn't be from any other company."
For the purposes of building the concept car, the Bronco was placed on a modified Escape platform. Should it go into production, it could be built on a traditional, truck-like, body-on-frame chassis or it could go on a unitized body, like modern cars and crossover SUVs such as the Escape. It all depends on customer demand, Baker noted.
For me, I think I'd like one in black.
