    Wishful thinking, you can bet if Ford was 9 months away from having this vehicle on the showroom floor we'd have heard a lot more about it from the major automotive press by now. This link (and a handful of others that are also out there) look like hopeful speculation amongst individual bloggers, all of whom cite unnamed sources. All the pics in the article are from that 2004 show Riff, and the video is clearly just an unofficial collage of pictures.

    I hope it happens, but I seriously doubt it's on the near term horizon. Let's hope Ford proves me wrong.

    If it gets built on the F150 platform, there is no reason it can't tow a VX! Would be even better with a diesel option.

    But would the 2 door have the same towing capacity I wonder?

    I don't know why not, 2door short bed F150 can do it. Would suck towing that heavy VX with a short wheel base vehicle though.

    Cool..Thanks

    I just looked at F150 tow ratings..seems legit 'if' based on the F150..

    ...and IF ever produced!

    VT-- Agreed, I too have my serious doubts. That's why I worded my posting very carefully as not to be too definative. As a test, I tried googling various years (i.e. 2010 Bronco, 2012 Bronco, etc) and came up with many of the same threads just re-vamped for the current season. The thread in my above posting #1 is from a source I have not heard of before, and therefore wonder if it can be trusted as factual. I suspect not.

    I tend to lend some truth to valid automotive magazines (i.e. MotorTrend, Car & Driver, Road & Track, Four Wheeler, etc) as they normally do their homework before publication. Here is one I found very interesting from "Car & Driver" magazine, and now I sadly think the 2004 Ford Bronco "Concept" will likely never happen.
