Top engine is 2.7 310/400. Yes FR/R Lockers and swaybar disco.Looks pretty rad. I wonder about the engine options...
Is it a Wrangler beater? Does it have a front and rear locking diff like a Rubicon?
That fucker still dances? Last time we saw him he could barely walk or swing a club. "Cocaines a helluva drug"Oj was in vegas dancing at some casino last week.
Figured id throw that out there
Biggest deal breaker (if they are trying to complete with a similar Jeep) .... no straight axel in the front. Jeep will eat this thing alive On the bigger trails. With the a-arm front it could potentially be a fun go fast desert cruiser with some aftermarket support.
IFS has come a long way.

I didnt see any mention of travel numbers in the promo video but Ill take a good IFS system over a live axle all day everyday. There is a reason why most of the front runners in the Hammers are IFS rigs. Yes those are custom monster axle setups but, long travel suspension companies are getting 16+" of travel out of 4x4 IFS with zero issue. Shit, factory Raptors pull 13" of travel in front and that is pretty nuetered (sp?) for a long travel 4x4.You could see the suspension’s limitations (lack of articulation) even in Ford’s own launch videos.
Someone will make a long grave it for it, but since it’s 4WD it’ll ultimately still have somewhat limited travel.

Damn, I am not a Ford man by any means, but They did a pretty damn good job on the 2 and 4 door models. At least from what I can see in the promo video. Love the look and functionality they show.

I have the JL, trans is good and power band not bad on the highway. too much interior noise at speed in the JL, trading mine for Bronco!I would sell my Jeep and get a new Bronco if I could. They look awesome and the aftermarket accessories are going to increase faster than Amazon stock during the lockdown. I love my jeep, but it is an underpowered piece of crap on the road. I haven't driven the new JL, so maybe they have improved with more gears but the engine sucks.
The Raptors pull 13" and that is because they are restricted to use the existing F-150 architecture. If you can lengthen the arms and axles the travel numbers go up. This Bronco is a ground up design. They MAY have took that into consideration (although unlikely) and allowed for longer arms and axles. The limiting factor of CV joints is really the amount of plunge the joint offers which directly effects the angle.On a factory 4WD IFS, you’re lucky to get 11 inches of travel. The arms aren’t the limiting factor, the CV/U-joints ultimately limit it.
Even aftermarket long-travel kits will provide much more travel for 2WD

They're going to need a better introduction video than that.
they weren't doing anything in their new bronco that I didn't do my mom's 68 Plymouth when I was a kid.

you mean like the Raptor? I see this being the test and they will release the SVT Bronco next year with the 3.5 and full Raptor running gear.
