Will the Bronco have a manual transmission ? A "base Sport " trim ? An affordable Entry Level trim is essential to bring in young buyers, who may become Fans for Life.. Jeep has kept that niche open, and I hope it continues to do so

As a "young buyer" I didn't even get closer to buying anything new, it took me almost 15 years in to my career and in my mid 30's before I pulled that trigger.

2.7L Ecoboost 325hp/400tq seems to be the confirmed base engine for the Bronco! IFS front. 8.8 live axle rear.

We should see some spy footage leak but they are doing high speed desert tests now.

It looks GOOD. Still no details on how the roof, etc, is removed and if soft top options.

Stay tuned, lots to come soon!

Not a Wrangler killer, but something between a SUV and the Wrangler.

That’s not what the article said?

No it didnt. It is my speculation

Locker ya think?

LockerS, yes. 2.7 as the base? No. 2.3 is almost certainly the base.

No, Dana 44 Advantek in the rear.

If not, there will be aftermarket options. The 8.8 Ford rear is well supported by tons of aftermarket offerings as it's been in use since at least 1986 on the first 5.0L (302) Mustangs. The center section is used in todays IFS Mustangs. Can be built to handle big HP and axle loads.

I for one would love to see a Torsen gen2

It's already leaking

C-clip eliminators have been common for quite some time. Strange, Moser, etc, etc, all build them. Not be shocked to see them on a new factory live axle as well.
