They coulda made the fenders flow into the front bumper a LOT better.

If it's ever produced, I smell aftermarket...:yesgray:

It just reminds me of the Toy FJ Crusier on steroids. I wonder if they would try 2 door verion in the U.S. our country seems to be 4 door Auto trans crazy these days.

That thing looks KICK ***!

True, but at least an after market front bumper looks like it would fit nicely in the stock one's place...

The TROLLER is very cool. Some of the lines are very ugly and mismatched but in a unique off road themed way.


Although the article says not to count on them importing the Troller to the US, there's no reason why Ford couldn't clean up the lines and slap the Bronco badge on it for US sales.

Front headlights remind me more of the last generation Xterra than anything else. I really like the "virility" enhancing hood, that will really do wonders for the comb-over crowd I'm sure. ;)

Good for you, there's a big difference between doing the comb-over thing and just being bald. Be a man and shave it close or completely off is what I say. :yesy:

Simply fell off the Toyota assembly line. Not much to be desired in the originality dept. Much like Ford's Mustang concept.... baby Aston anyone? I think Ford's design dept is just a bunch of scrap bookers. :p

It runs on sugar cane, right?

A Diesel version would be cool.

Much to like about it, needs to be refined quite a bit for the US mass market.

I read the next Bronco will be based on the new Ranger, which is Explorer size (Chevy Colorado sized).

Negotiations going on with the UAW for assembly in Michigan Assembly plant in Wayne, MI.

Interesting. I'm really holding my breath for the new L200 though. I'm hearing reports that it may be brought back to the US to replace the Dakota. That would be great, since an L200 is something I've had a hard on for quite a while.

The new L200 is available in Australia now.
The versions here are still underpowered and have a lower towing rating then the Rangers and DMax.

It will struggle to sell here unless it has a power plant upgrade.

I'd imagine they'd have to add a V6, although the turbodiesel 4 has fantastic MPG.

The turbocharged 4 banger diesels are reporting 24.75 mpg real life highway mileages, but it drops back to around 12 mpg when towing.
The Rangers and DMax's are reporting slightly better mpg, and have extra power and higher towing capacity.

I think the L200s in Australia are set up for tradies and soccer mums rather than touring and towing.
The L200 is certainly priced lower than the others.

Fuel is too expensive in Australia ($5.10 per gallon) for V6 petrols to be considered if you are doing high mileages.
