AUSSIE OWNERSHIP

FOR now, Ford Australia says it has no plans to bring the Bronco here. Yes, some have spotted an oddly plated and LHD Bronco making its way around Victoria, but Ford Australia did a lot of the engineering development of the Bronco here as the lead team on the T6 platform.

ARB also has a development LHD Bronco in Australia as the official factorybacked supplier for accessories for the Bronco in the USA, in much the same way as it is for the Ranger and Everest here

Ford’s official line is that the Bronco was developed purely as a LHD vehicle, even though it does ride on the same chassis/ platform as our Ranger and Everest With Ford about to restart converting and selling F-150 trucks here in Australia, there’s no reason they couldn’t do the Bronco as well, providing there’s enough demand for it

Melbourne’s American Vehicle Sales has said it will be looking at getting approval for and selling converted Broncos in Australia. It has already converted a few models at its Autogroup International facility for other RHD markets, so watch this space for more on the progress of that
