Joe i dont doubt your measurements..i just cant see it being sooo long...time will tell
Agreed, something doesn't line up. It can't be 16' long, have minimal overhangs, and also have the ~112" wheelbase that we've measured reliably. Those three datapoints conflict with each other.

To provide a comparison, my 2007 4Runner is almost exactly 16 feet long (15.767 feet), with a 109.8" wheelbase. If you were to stretch the wheelbase by a few inches in relation to the overall length, you might get pretty close to the overhangs Sunny Joe describes.

The 4Runner is just under 16 feet long including the bumpers. If the Bronco is 16' before the bumpers and spare tire are added, then a 112" wheelbase would give it at least as much overhang as you have on the 4Runner, as far as I can tell.

Maybe so. We kind of have the parable of the blind men and the elephant going on right now.

An Escape is 180.5" (15') with a 107" wheelbase, so the body of a Bronco being approximately 16' and 112" doesn't seem unreasonable. I suspect there just aren't going to be large protruding bumpers or a cavernous space between the fascia and radiator to blow that number out further.

baby bronco (escape based) over the shadow of the 4 door bronco bronco.

baby bronco is the escape which is 15' long

baby bronco length with bumpers is the same as the bronco bronco without bumpers.

Fair enough. I guess I'm just surprised that it's going to be a fair bit longer in body than a 4 door wrangler, but with a shorter wheelbase. Doesn't lend itself to good approach/departure numbers, which are important for the on paper matchups if nothing else.

Another thing caught mt eye was his statement that the Bronco width was considerably more than Ranger

The fact that you can see the front end of the BroncoBronco in front of the baby from the perspective of this image tells you it is longer ...

It is probably longer on the rear too, but the perspective of the image precludes making a good detrmination on that end ... but you can still see the bumper sticking out past the baby by a few inches.

The more details that are added the more it's odd, plus when someone else said they work with bronco and says he is wrong is adds to fishyness, this is the internet and all of you could be secretly sea otters pretending to be human.

I wish I was as cute as an otter.
