Electric Ford 'Bronco' and 'Ranger' in the works
Fox News
Ford is working on an electric pickup and rugged SUV similar to the Ranger and Bronco, the company has announced. The vehicles will be built on a new electric platform that can be used for a variety of model types.
Ford's chief product platform and operations officer Hua Thai-Tang said the smaller architecture would be used on an upcoming electric Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, but also on two potentially more entertaining models. One is a "rugged SUV" that was depicted with a line drawing that had a similar shape to the upcoming Ford Bronco and the other a "midsize" pickup the size of a Ranger. An all-new Ford Bronco is launching this year with four- and six-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engines, but is already facing electrified off-road competition from the plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which will be followed by the all-electric Rivian R1T and GMC Hummer EV later this year.More Related News
