Oh I understand, but there are some that have claimed this an absolute failure based on seeing a few prototypes and not knowing everything.



On the flip side, why don't you stop declaring it an absolute failure before actually seeing it do something...
I have a pretty bad memory. Could you remind me of where I said it was a failure?

This leaked version is my favorite so far. Anybody else see a horizontal crease on the doors between the handles and windowsill or is it just my eyes looking for one one like the early broncos had?

I noticed it too.

Also noticed...No little notch at the forward area of the driver's window. I love that oh-so-much about the Ford trucks and I'm a little miffed it isn't on this.

Also miffed about no three-wiper setup LOL :D

Looks like body lines about 6 inches down from the top of the door, and another about 8 inches up from the bottom

I also like the notch on my F150, but i'm ok with the straight sill here due to the presence of the height increase on the body after the rear door.

Another thing I noticed is the small LED in the rear bumper, just above the hitch receiver.
Probably just like what the Mustang has... reflector in US markets, rear fog light in European countries

but something that been bugging me is how no one else has gotten any photos outside the Frankenrangers
These here aren't photos of a frankenranger, this IS a Bronco. It's camo'd up, but it's definitely not the frankenragers that were rolling around last year (and last week)

I see what you're talking about. Brings back horrible memories of the rust that seam generated in the rear quarters. Then I start thinking of the floors, tailgate and the effing door posts....

Yeesh! We really sucked w/body panels back then....

I think that light on the bumper is so you can remove the tailgate and still have a third light.
Too low to be used as a third brake light. Could it be part of the Tow Package?????

That I believe is the tractor beam to pull your trailer to the tow vehicle for hitching rather than backing up to the trailer- part of Ford’s new Max Trailer Tow Package.

The GM is a duramax and the 3 liter diesel motor for Ford is nothing more than a filler to hit the increased CAFE numbers that all makers have to hit by the middle of the 20s. I like the motor and it is kind of nice to have an engine choice which is in the 100-150 grand Rover HSE models. Guess that is why it is a 5 grand premium in the F150 line up but with the ability to go many many 100s of thousands of miles the engine should out live the truck.

I guess technically you haven't directly typed "its a failure", but you have plenty of negative posts about what we see. Here are just a few examples:

And how do we know that it is not a total dog?
The Raptor also comes stock with big tires. Doesn’t mean the front end can actually handle them.
Already got that Bronco.

Gonna take more than big tires to claim victory over Jeep. For all we know the Bronco will articulate like the Everest.

Let’s stop declaring it a winner until we actually see it do something.
I don’t want a rebadged Jeep. I want a 2021 version of my 1968 Ford Bronco. You know the vehicle that is all over commercials and movie screens? The vehicle that is in such high demand that Ford has decided to resurrect it. I want the new Bronco to be better than Jeep in the same ways it was originally- more power and more room. Jeep has done an excellent job of modernizing the wrangler without compromising on its capabilities. Why does Ford have to compromise?
IF the Bronco has all those things it’ll potentially tie the Wrangler. Unless they throw in a winch or an air compressor it won’t beat it. I wouldn’t give the Bronco any points for Ford’s off-road drive modes.
How does the Bronco outscore the Wrangler in off-road tech?

How does it get better than F/R selectable lockers, disconnecting sway bars, and a 4:1 transfer case?
