Bronco R was built on a 4x4 f150 frame using it's 2.7 engine trans and t case. It has nothing to do with the new bronco. It was built as a marketing tool. It was not built of the t6 platform as the article states.

What characteristics distinguished it as a F150 chassis instead of the Ranger it was claimed to be? Did someone else tell you that's what it was?

Yeah, Ford guy at the race shop in volved with programing the OEM electrical work with the Motec race side of the vehicle said it's an f150. It's physically a lot larger and wider. The bronco R track width(outside tire to outside tire) is over 90 in wide. A ranger is somewhere around 70. You can see in my pics that the A arms are not that long. There's no way you could put short enough arms on that chassis and get it anywhere near a ranger width. A ams would be like 3in long and tires would rub the frame when turned.

I heard it and it does sound terrible. Has true duals exiting before the rear tires with no cats. Just two MagnaFlow mufflers, one per side.

putt putt putt...

2021 Bronco headlight leaked....?

There is a story about a headlight that is supposed to be one on new Bronco..... Ford has done good job keeping the new Bronco out of the public eye..

Imagine the replacement cost of that combined unit.

But it looks cool!!!

I don't think automakers care about replacement costs at all. To replace the headlight assembly on my wife's Subaru is eight book hours! Nearly the entire front has to come off.

Sorry the link did not paste correctly. The story has a peak at the headlight and grille.

Can’t be any worse than the tail lights on f150 and SD with BLISS

The link worked... kinda cool. Keep on leaking guys !

73azbronco · Jan 2, 2020

a year to go and still nothing except maybe a race modded version and a headlight?

Ford is going to be last of the pack.

Jeep will have it's diesel out by then.

Chevy Dodge will have new stuff as well.

Taco will be upgraded as well by then.

Come on Ford, give us a sketch at least. With hand drawn everything, they released the original Mustang drawings earlier than the rebirth of the Bronco.

They are missing me as a customer, I will be inside my need a vehicle window, and I am not buying first year anything.

This is like being a 8 year old kid waiting on Christmas to come and it's December 27th. Come on Santa Ford.....I need to see this thing like I need air!

it would be cool if they start slipping stuff into f series commercials like views from inside a new bronco on a trailer instead of the horses view or at least one under a tarp on a trailer.

Tesla unveiled it's electric pickup, which won't even start production until 2021.

But Ford can't even leak a pic or anything of a truck they will sell in 2021.

Wondering if they are having issues...

Tesla is trying to make a name for itself in trucks, whereas Ford is the #1 seller. Ford has to keep things under wraps so they are not 1-upped before release, and Tesla really doesn't have competition in electric trucks. Different strategies for different market positions.

Well, I’ve bugged my dealer about info and order priority list. He say nothing from Ford. Strange to me that can “reserve” Mach E, but not Bronco. Ford not famous for smooth, or timely, new model rollouts, so we shall see. Too bad won’t have “tank turn” feature
like Rivian electric truck !

Unless you have beadlocks, good luck doing that with aired-down, high profile tires. If they had it lock one rear tire, you could use it as turning brakes.
