Whelp, I'm screwed then. All kidding aside, I agree and think the BL and Squatch drivelines will hold up to 37's and moderate off roading.I think 37’s will be fine on Bronco (non-hog) as long as you’re not being dumb.

Yup. Especially in situations with no front locker the 37’s will do great. Just when you start using lockers... they are a great tool but differentials are there for a reason! Hopefully the off-roadeo teaches a lot about locker use and that they are basically a last resort when 4x4 alone isn’t working.Whelp, I'm screwed then.

It's more than a detail since this whole thread is about the Warthog on 37s. Misleading and most watching the thread think it's true. Fake news.

Nice. The 37" BFG KO2 s are $495 each at TireRack.com The same tires but 35" are $312 each.We got some close-up, detailed shots of the Bronco Warthog’s Raptor-esque Live-Valve shocks, removing any doubt of the über-Bronco’s suspension makeup. We also got our first chance to photograph a Warthog wearing the 37-inch tires, to provide tire specs lifted directly from a prototype.
Live-Valve Shocks Caught Close-Up and Uncovered
All prior Bronco Warthog prototypes have had a piece of plastic or rubber screwed to the inside of the rear wheel well, effectively hiding the shock absorber design being applied to the future range-topping Bronco variant. We even previously posted a prototype that had “Warthog Shock Cover” scrawled on the camouflage panel, to remove any doubt of the function of the temporary trim piece. With the latest Bronco Warthog prototype running with the rear shocks exposed, we can now fully put to rest any doubts that the outrageous model will be a Raptor in spirit (and key suspension mechanicals), if not in name.
Those 37s
The 37-inch tires were alluded to in an official post from Ford PR, but now we can report on exactly what the specs of the epic rubber. We managed to zoom in enough on a Warthog’s rear tire, revealing the following specs: 37x12.50R17LT 124R. Not every Warthog prototype has been fitted with the 37-inch tires, it’s, in fact, a rare sighting. Nearly every Bronco Warthog test vehicle we’ve seen has been wearing the Sasquatch-spec 35-inch tires, albeit in the usual BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 found on the F-150 Raptor. The 37-inch tires are also the BFG KO2s.

4 cylinder. They sound awful, but can move out.Amazing though. My ‘05 Mustang GT V8 topped out at about 305 hspwr and the new eco boost V6 (Mustang) are about the same
but the sound of the V8, that’s beautiful
Yeah, you must be right. All I remember is being shocked at what they could get out of a much smaller engine. Nothing compared to the sound though. I had a windy lonely road on the way home that I took on occasion even though it was out of the way, just so I could open up all 8 cylinders.4 cylinder. They sound awful, but can move out.
Those wheels are Raptor beadlock wheels from the ‘19/‘20 model years.The Warthog pictured here is wearing 35s. The first 3 up close 37 "tire shots are from another vehicle (Warthog? who knows?) with different rims. This tells nothing about having enough room for 37s.
The cool thing about a Bronco/Jeep is that aftermarket shit will be way cooler than anything the OEM puts out. The warthog will be a badass piece of kit for sure but for the $10k you save by buying a cheaper version... you can put $10k worth of suspension work.
ABSOLUTELY!!! - I'm an EARLY reservation holder but will HOLD out for the Warthog. Totaled a 2011 Raptor (using it as it was meant to be used) - I would be VERY pissed off if I ordered the normal Sasquatch and then the Warthog came to fruition.happy happy joy joy!!
Now the real question... as a late reservation holder, already staring down the barrel of MY22 delivery, should I just hold out for the Warthog?!? ??
It is interesting to think, from a business standpoint, what the "fallout" is going to be from the 165,000 (Or so...) reservations booked so far. My gut estimate is at least 50% "fallout," due to: 1. Job 1 now delayed until summer 2021; 2. Top colors delayed, probably summer 2022; 3. Man Trans with Sasquatch, delayed; 4. Warthog coming, probably summer 2022; 5. Dealer mistreatment, including profit gouging, add-ons, etc.yeah ... I think I will cancel my Bronco reservation now and just wait and buy a Warthog when it becomes available.
