In case some people haven't noticed, there's a good reason FCA is doing that: there's money to be made in it, and they know they've been loosing out on it for a while. Places like Collins Brothers (Dennis Collins) Jeep in Texas have been doing big business puting big V8s into Jeeps that were never intended to have one for years now. FCA is getting in on that, and Ford is gonna need to offer it or else that money will go to the aftermarkets on the Bronco too.
In fact I bet there's already people with Broncos ordered at the dealer, the 7.3 ordered as a crate, and as soon as they come in someone somewhere will be doing the conversion before the first miles are put on.
Meanwhile GM is just off in LA LA land thinking everything is peachy slapping the Blazer name back on a front wheel drive based, unibody soccer mom grocery getter.

An LT4, 5, whatever, in a AWD Tahoe would sell, providing GM didn’t screw it up some how.
