Ford plans could include Bronco-based Lincoln, midsize truck

Ford’s Bronco could underpin two new products for Lincoln and Ford at the Wayne, Michigan Assembly Plant, according to AutoForecast Solutions. The consulting firm says a Lincoln SUV built on the Bronco platform is planned to start production in summer 2029, while a Bronco-styled midsize truck would replace the Ranger at the same plant that fall. Ford has not confirmed the plans. The report cites Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions, saying Ford has split Broncos into SUVs and trucks into separate lines, and the pickup side could help Ford expand market share. Ford also plans to refresh 80% of its North American lineup by volume by 2029, including a new Ford Fathom midsize pickup on its Universal Electric Vehicle platform and next-gen F-150 and Super Duty trucks.
