The wheel base seems like the right size for a wrangler competitor and not a straight Everest clone. Interesting that it appears the spare tire is on the rear, as that deviates a lot from the Everest and other Ford SUVs

The "news" here is the second SUV - smaller than the new Bronco, that is off-road capable. Kind of a surprise if Ford makes the new "Bronco" that is not going after the Maob crowd but then makes a smaller one that is?? And names it something else? I'm scratching my head here! ?:?

I saw an article the other day that said from a Ford "source" the new bronco would have a removable top. But I will believe all of it when I see it.

Based on my analysis of the official photo, I would bet the front end looks very close to the two door rendering from the BroncoG6 (BG6) photos. Difference being the top, it has a more squared off look, which leads me to believe at best it comes off, at worse it looks like the EB roof line. It also makes it look less like a K5 Blazer, which I thought the BG6 two door looked like a Bronco front with a Blazer butt. I think it appears to be two door. Someone above mentioned a hood scoop, but what I think you're seeing is the passenger fender line. It mirrors the driver side, which falls in line with the BG6 photo, and mimics our EB fenders. All in all, what I'm deciphering under the cover makes me very hopeful. The anticipation is killing me. I am planning (providing Ford doesn't completely blow it) for this to be my new daily driver so me and my inbound first kid can "tinker" with my current daily driver!

2nd Pic is of the "baby off-roader"

"We don't know what to expect from Ford's upcoming baby off-roader, shown here in red, but from what we see here it seems likely that it'll rival the Jeep Renegade. Ford global markets chief Jim Farley says all of this is part of an effort to increase the automaker's off-road presence."

If those guys over at that 4chan website can unmask and identify antifa people wearing masks, this shouldn’t be hard for them.

Oh and it looks like there is a hood scoop on it too
I thought it might have been the passenger side fender line, but after looking closer at the BroncoG6 two door rendering, it does have a hood scoop, and the lines under the cover on Ford's photo seem to have the shape. You could be spot on!

I want to remove that dress and see if a beauty lies under it! I'm digging what I'm seeing!

Autoblog.com had a video on the bottom of the their article in which a Ford Exec stated there will be a 2 door and 4 door. I was glad to see that but they took down the video. https://www.autoblog.com/2018/03/15/2020-ford-bronco-first-look/

Here a picture of the old concept next to the covered teaser Bronco. Definitely a different vehicle. Someone might have stretched the concept Bronco to more closely match the hidden one but you can still tell they're different vehicles.

I'm a couple beers into a Friday night but here is my PS for size comparison purposes.

Nice :)
