I just had a thought, what if for a month the engineers at Ford Aust took over sales and marketing and product planning and the sales team were given a month off...what would we get....
No RHD Bronco was ever developed, so that’s a hard no.

Actually, interest in Bronco is starting to fall away in the US, seems like everyone that
wanted a Bronco has one now and the remaining sales are regular buyers looking for
one at a good price or small cash incentive. Higher interest rates are slowing up the
desire to buy a premium lifestyle vehicles.

I don’t think Ford AUS will really consider Bronco for Australia, they see it as
simply trading a good easy Everest sale, something it doesn’t have to do without
asking those buyers to pay $30,000 more to get the RHD bit done, few will want it
over say, a big honkin F150….
