### Lincoln Developing Luxury Off-Road Vehicle Based on Ford Bronco Platform
Ford has long been a leader in the off-road space, with its iconic Bronco and rugged F-150 TRX. However, the company’s luxury division, Lincoln, has been relatively quiet on the topic of off-roading until now. According to sources, Lincoln is working on a body-on-frame competitor to the G-Wagen and Range Rover, based on the mighty Ford Bronco platform.
This new luxury off-roader is planned to launch toward the end of the decade or in 2030, and it’s expected to integrate components from a next-generation Bronco platform. While details are scarce, it’s clear that Lincoln is aiming to create a distinct design with softer lines than the Bronco, catering to the needs of the wealthy and adventurous.
The Lincoln Navigator is a full-sized truck-based SUV, designed more for steep driveways in the Hollywood Hills and the occasional gravel road, rather than serious off-roading. However, with the addition of a body-on-frame design, this new luxury off-roader is poised to take on the likes of the G-Wagen and Range Rover.
The integration of the Ford Bronco platform will likely provide a solid foundation for the new vehicle, with its rugged capabilities and off-road prowess. However, the question remains as to how Lincoln will balance the rowdy, topless Bronco with the quiet, cossetting experience that the luxury market demands.
Only time will tell if Lincoln’s new luxury off-roader will live up to its promise, but one thing is certain – the off-road space is about to get a whole lot more interesting.
