The new

Ford Bronco

and

Baby Bronco

will not get right-hand drive variants for the global market, according to a report from Australian site

CarSales

. Of course, this news probably won’t trouble many of us stateside, but it’s bad news for those in right-hand drive markets like

Australia

and the U.K.

Here’s what Ford’s Australia boss, Kay Hart, had to say: “There’s nothing to announce. There are currently no plans in place for right-hand drive Bronco.” Hart continued, “Clearly it’s going to be a great vehicle, but we are extremely happy with the performance of

Ranger

here.”

So there’s your explanation folks. The

Ford Ranger

is good enough that it isn’t worth

Ford’s

time and money to make the Bronco compliant with some markets. Places like Australia get the best

Ranger

of them all with the

Raptor we just tested

in the land down under. For now, there’s no word on whether the Bronco will even leave North America, let alone travel to foreign markets across the globe. In 2017, Ford stated that the new Bronco was going to be a global vehicle. It doesn’t look like that’s the case anymore.

Ford skipping some international markets with the Bronco makes sense in countries where off-roading might not be as prevalent. However, Australia literally defines outdoorsy and adventure culture. We could totally picture ourselves cruising the Australian

Outback

in a new Ford Bronco That being said, the Ford lineup in Australia is going to continue to include cars for the foreseeable future. Maybe there just isn’t room for one more SUV in the sea of vehicles that will continue to be sold in Australia, but not here. Regardless, the only main downside to those of us in America is the inability to rent a Bronco while vacationing in Australia. Maybe we’ll just find another

Ranger Raptor

instead …
