It is finally happening! After years of waiting by enthusiasts, a new Ford Bronco is actually happening. This is after years of rumors and news all over the place. The Blue Oval officially confirmed the development of the SUV. Also, Ford gave another sweet news as it also stated the return of the Ranger in North America. The announcement was made by the automaker at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.

"We've heard our customers loud and clear. They want a new generation of vehicles that are incredibly capable yet fun to drive," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of The Americas. "Ranger is for truck buyers who want an affordable, functional, rugged and maneuverable pickup that's Built Ford Tough. Bronco will be a no-compromise midsize 4x4 utility for thrill seekers who want to venture way beyond the city."

The new iteration of the Bronco SUV will be added to Ford's global vehicle portfolio in 2020. That is definitely not too long in the future for people who have waited this far. At the same time, the midsize Ranger pickup truck will join the brand's North American lineup after a long hiatus in 2019. It is officially reported that both the much-awaited vehicles will be manufactured at Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan, reported Carscoop.

The news on the making of Bronco and Ranger comes immediately after Ford announced 13 global electrified models planned for launch. The launch of the electrified models is planned over the next five years. This release will include the Mustang Hybrid, the F-150 Hybrid and the Transit Custom Plug-In Hybrid, reported Gearheads.

After years of waiting, it is officially now confirmed that Ford will take all efforts to release the Bronco SUV by 2020 and the Ranger Truck by 2019. This time it is not a rumor at all.
