Those amber lights at the front look really good with that red, and those interior seats are fire as well.

WEAK???? If you read the article it is gonna be bad a** in its own right. I think Ford conceded they cannot compare with the Wrangler in straight off-road prowess, so they are focusing on IFS suspension strong suits. Desert Running and on road domination. The crazy takeaway I took from the article, is that it will be 10" wider than a standard Bronco. Would suck to drive on the majority of the trails we run down here in Florida. Just my two cents

The 3.0 eco boost is a good platform. I’m not sure why they didn’t put the 3.5 in it. They could of created a horsepower war with the 392. I like making poor decisions so I’ll probably get one.

I think it looks awesome. And a 400hp V6 just makes sense.

What doesn't make sense is keeping the same tie rods the 2.7 breaks when you fart in their general direction.
If it's going to be taken as a serious wheeler, hopefully someone comes up with a better and beefier steering rack and tie rod system.

The non-alcoholic version of this...

392 intro:

Also I'm assuming Ford could bump the CHP figures once released with the turbo engine. There's likely some headroom there.

Wow stock 37s. I’m a Jeep guy at heart but man I do love the look of these broncos, all of them. Glad there is competition, this only drives innovation and new features to pop up!

The flares are getting nearly Jeep like. I see Ford quietly added a crossbar on the roll cage after initially bragging about the openness of that area.

If Jeep is smart, they’ll steal Ford’s thunder again with in house parts. Bring in the bump stops from the gladiator Mojave, 4.88’s, Mopar 2” lift, and the long travel live valve bilstein rear shocks from the trx at all 4 corners. Slap on some 37’s and Viola, go fast suspension with in house parts. More suspension travel than the bronco raptor at 14”. Better approach, departure, and break over angles. Offer it with all the available engine options and you can undercut them on the 2.0t and v6 variants and destroy them on the performance end with the 392. The only thing they’d need to develop would be some wide fender flares, preferably with more clearance (and easily removable for tight trails).

Maybe they addressed the issues with the front suspension. Hopefully, because a better Bronco, means a better Wrangler in the future.

I love the look, but at that width I think it would become very difficult to get into the garage. And I’m also certain if we had two vehicles that size they simply wouldn’t fit in the garage at all.
