Even though Ford botched things up more times than we can count, Bronco love is still all over the place. Both in the real world and across the virtual realm, as it turns out.
The rumor mill recently spilled the beans on the subtle 2023 model year updates, and over across “imagination land,” things are also heating up. Some virtual automotive artists eagerly have ‘Braptor’ camper dreams of overlanding, for example.
Meanwhile, Jim, the pixel master better known as jlord8 on social media, knows how to juggle our car dreams, create a new CGI series out of nothing, and cook potential sixth-generation Bronco refreshes. While this is not the first time he has worked on Bronco-related ideas, the latest series has had a very cool focus – a potential Series II to follow in the footsteps of the original and its immediate successor.
Remember, back in the 1960s, the primordial Ford Bronco had been manufactured on a separate architecture made especially for the series, while the second-generation Bronco graced the 1980s with a paradigm switch to a full-size F-Series-based lifestyle to better challenge the Chevy K5 Blazer, Dodge Ramcharger, and Jeep Cherokee, among others. So, he kind of followed the same principle but with ‘slight’ variations.
For example, there was a ‘regular’ three-door Ford Bronco II Tremor that took styling cues from the smaller Maverick and braced for some online banter. Then, there was also a mighty Bronco II Raptor that used the 2023/2024 Ford Ranger Raptor DNA without hesitation. Now, the third iteration in the 1980s-inspired Bronco II series is again called Tremor. Luckily, though, it has nothing to do with the puny unibody compact pickup truck anymore.
Instead, this hulking, digital Bronco Tremor takes a Super Duty full-size page out of the crazy 1980s by starting as a Ford F-250 before virtually ending in a three-door SUV position of off-road force. And, naturally, fan praise was just around the CGI corner!
