Ford is at a crossroads now. The Blue Oval Company wants to live the EV lifestyle casually but also doesn't like abandoning the lucrative ICE-powered business in the crossover, SUV, and truck fields.
After all, they had already abandoned passenger cars at home in America, where the S650 Ford Mustang will remain the last of the Mohicans as a two-door coupe and convertible with EcoBoost and Coyote V8 prowess. Meanwhile, over in Europe, we heard the all-new, all-electric Explorer is getting delayed (surprise, surprise – and we're more than a little ironic).
As for the United States, F-150 Lightning production is allegedly ramping up like a charm while the company also takes care of other stuff. Such as giving the most hyped SUV of the early 2020s – the reinvented sixth-gen Bronco – a few light touches for 2024MY. They're mostly orange, by the way, as per the new moniker Bronco Raptor Code Orange.
Speaking of Ford, Bronco, and the Raptor ethos, this string of ideas is always lucrative business across the imaginative realm of digital car content creators – even if the sixth iteration of the iconic Bronco has been around since the model year 2021 and the Bronco Raptor flagship was announced last year with 418 hp in Baja mode. In the meantime, much has been said about those untidy black plastic fender flares, right?
Anyway, puns aside, Jim, the virtual artist known as jlord8 on social media, has switched his attention from dearly departed sedans to old-school vans for a CGI moment. As such, after giving us revivals for the Buick Park Avenue, Chevy Caprice, Mercury Grand Marquis, the Lincoln Town Car, as well as the eternal Ford Crown Victoria, he is back in the Ford 'Econoline' mood.
Only this time, he is not using the current Ford F-150 Tremor as the template for a behemoth off-road van. Nope, on this occasion, he's using the Ford Bronco Raptor SUV to create a cab-forward E-Series Raptor version packing the EcoBoost 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 and fewer doors. As far as we can tell, there's just one way to access the cabin on the driver's side.
However, maybe on the other side, there's a sliding door. Of course, the pixel master's fans were thrilled about the possibility of Ford's E-Series returning (it's been a chassis-only model since 2015) as a proper, boxy van-type. And it would also have the added panache of traveling any roads or trails, right? Well, too bad it's just wishful thinking, as Ford has abandoned the ways of the minivan – most likely forever.
Also, in case this 'Bronconoline' doesn't suit your needs, perhaps his other idea – the return of the Ford Excursion based on the current Super Duty will be pretty fly. So, which one would get your CGI approval, and why?
