Reply to comment by HeyPierreComeOutHere in Ford recalls 634,000 vehicles worldwide over fire risks by Brook030

The Bronco Sport (what's recalled) is not at all the same as the Bronco (not recalled). The Sport is built off the Escape chassis while the actual Bronco uses a ladder frame construction.

They are literally two entirely different vehicles that happen to share the same name.

Ford marketing team skipped over the 80's history lesson. It was a shitty naming scheme then, still shitty now.

Why isn't the Bronco Sport the Bronco II?!? Because I can't help but to call it that! The Sport should be a package on the Bronco, not the name. The Bronco II was just sitting there, waiting to be revived, but NOOOOOOO, Ford marketing wanted to do a shit job with naming.
