Is Ford Motor Company Relaunching The Ford Bronco?

The Ford Bronco was first introduced in 1966 as a two-door sport utility vehicle with a front engine layout. However, production of the Bronco was stopped in 1996, because Ford was in favor of producing smaller vehicles instead, such as the Ford Explorer. So, for almost 20 years the Bronco has not been apart of the automotive industry.

Recently, there have been an abundance of rumors surrounding the possibility of Ford relaunching the classic Ford Bronco. Fans of the iconic vehicle are dying to see a successor, and as of now, the closest thing you can get to a Ford Bronco is the 2015 Ford Troller T4.

Surprisingly, '2015 Ford Bronco' is currently one of the most popular search terms on the internet. This is most likely due to many sites writing about rumors of a relaunch and fans hoping and wishing that those rumors are true.

Lets take a look at some of the big rumors that are surrounding the possibility of a Ford Bronco resurrection. According to speculation...

• The Ford Bronco is set to release in 2015 or 2016
• The 4 x 4 will arrive with three different engine options
• One option will be the Ecoboost 3.5-liter engine
• Another option will be the Diesel variant 4.9-liter Powerstroke V6 engine
• The third option will be the 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine
• The Ford Bronco will come in multiple variants, including 4-door Bronco and the Bronco Coupe

Ford has not released an official statement on whether or not they would relaunch the Ford Bronco, but the company did reveal that they are looking to produce two dozen new vehicles next year... and the Bronco could be among them. For all you Ford Bronco fans out there, fingers crossed!

Ford Cares About Your Safety

Since 2003, Ford Motor Company and the Governors Highway Safety Association have partnered to offer the Ford Driving Skills for Life Program. Their program provides FREE driver training to new drivers with an emphasis on safe driving and making smart decisions behind the wheel.

Ford Driving Skills For Life Program's initiative is to reduce accidents caused by driver distraction and driver error, which could have been completely avoided with the proper training and driving skills. Ford teaches the necessary skills for safe driving, beyond what is learned in driver's ed programs. Ford Driving Skills for Life is available online, and is also available in-person in select cities throughout the year.

This year the program added a Impaired Driving Suit, which duplicates the side effects experienced by a person under the influence of alcohol.The suit's weights and pads cause a lack of balance, while goggles distort vision.The suit is used to give students a realistic and hands-on experience of the effects of alcohol and why it is imperative to not drive if you have consumed alcohol.

The curriculum also includes discussions on things to avoid while driving, such as taking selfies, doing your hair, eating and texting. This year, Ford launched a safety campaign against taking selfies in Europe.

According to a survey conducted by Ford, "1 in 4 Europeans aged 18-24 have taken a selfie while driving."

Distracted driving is the cause of 12% of car accidents, and it appears 'taking a selfie' has been added to the list of things drivers engage in while driving. As the Ford campaign says, "Don't let a selfie be the last photo you take."

Ford Driving Skills for Life has trained more than 30,000 teen drivers in 39 states and more than 100,000 drivers worldwide. The program is also offered in-person internationally in over 15 countries and it continues to expand throughout the world every year.

Ford offers the FDSFL program to customers and drivers all around the world - not just the ones driving a Ford. Now, that's a company that truly cares. Ford cares about all drivers' safety and their well-being. With the Ford Driving Skills For Life program, Ford ensures that you'll 'Go Further' out on the road and in life.
