A few months ago rumors were swirling that Ford might bring the Ranger back to the U.S. when the Detroit Free Press found out that the automaker was planning to move Focus and C-MAX production out of its Michigan Assembly Plant. Now, those rumors are looking more and more like the truth, and another popular Ford model has made its way into the discussion, too.

The Detroit Free Press recently reported that Ford signed an agreement with the UAW that includes converting the Michigan plant so that it can produce new vehicles. For a second time we ask, “What new vehicles?” Well, it’s not confirmed but the publication says Ford will begin producing the Ranger truck at the plant around 2018 and the Bronco around 2020.

Both models have been off the market for years, but they’ve maintained a loyal following. The Ranger in particular stayed present in other markets and sources say that around 2018 the overseas model will be due for a redesign, which could mean that an all-new Ranger may debut in its current marketplaces and make a debut back in the U.S. at the same time. Sources also say that Ford filed for a trademark renewal of the Bronco name earlier this year, which certainly could indicate a possible return of this model, as well.
