More than likely, this is the new Bronco. Known else where as the Everest. It comes with the Terrain Management System. Here's a pic to give you an idea of size. It's close to being about the size of a current Exploder. but it is not the same platform.

I've got to believe they will have much different bodywork here in the States -- I highly doubt Ford would revive the Bronco nameplate merely to slap it onto the newest "McSUV" -- that would make no sense given the heritage of the Bronco model.

Looks like the rest of the SUV's on the road. Does look like a Pathfinder..QX-60 with some Jeep and Dodge to complete the in-breeding!

I wouldn't mind a new ranger, but I think my next truck will be a super duty.

My teenage son drives a 2008 Explorer Sport Trac Adrenaline. We absolutely love the thing and I don't know why Ford quit making them. Really great vehicle especially for a kid.

From what I have heard the new ranger will be closer to the Sport Trac in size so I am hoping for something similar in utility.

Nope, that's body on frame. Says so in the very first sentence of the review.
