Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, with his 89.2 million Instagram followers, is a massive public figure. Previously, Ford has worked with the superstar to debut its refresh on the 2018 Ford Mustang, and now it looks like it might be flirting with promoting the all-new Ford Bronco—or at least the more than 10-year-old Bronco concept.
In a recent Instagram post, The Rock showed off the 2004 Ford Bronco concept from a scene in his upcoming movie Rampage. This may seem like just some production gimmick but according to Ford spokesperson Mike Levine, the concept shown "does not represent the future Bronco beyond sharing the iconic Bronco name."
This is the 2004 Bronco concept. It does not represent the future Bronco beyond sharing the iconic Bronco name. https://t.co/JCaOcxOhJo

So what's up with this Rampage movie and this old Bronco concept?
As we know, the Bronco is making a return alongside a new Ranger pickup. No one has much of an idea of what it will look like—though we've heard it could have a V-6 engine with the option of a manual or automatic transmission. Almost every other detail, though, remains to be seen. And apparently, The Rock can't help us.
