At least it appears to be on at least 3/4T axles.

I would totally rock it. Honestly it's gonna be cheaper to fix and more reliable than our JL's.

This is something I'd like to build for a dedicated trail rig actually. 80's crew cab with a shortened wheelbase I'd prefer axles from a 1 ton dually when using HMMWV wheels. But other than that it looks pretty good.

Why make a baby bronco?? Real or bust
Why make a Cherokee, Compass, and Renegade? Most people don't need a Wrangler/Bronco level of capability, or can't afford it, and they know it.

Just like Jeep sells more of those smaller units combined (and in some periods more Cherokees than Wranglers), Ford will probably sells lots of Mavericks and Couriers. Volume is profit, with narrow margins.

True, didn't think of it that way

I don't think any of these companies are truly trying to challenge the Wrangler. The bronco will be closer than the defender but it won't go all the way. Wish Jeep would offer the power Ford will and Land Rover already has so maybe this new competition will force them to

Look into re-gearing if you are running out of torque

So the internet is thinking the Bronco will look similar to the Troller, which is a Brazilian co. owner by Ford. The specs are very similar to the Wrangler and it looks very similar to the Wrangler.
