Test mule with extended tail pipe and yellow spray painted tie-down points.
Used for dyno testing?

Notes from the article!
The tow hooks protruding from the rear bumper are yellow as well but donāt feature the same crazy overspray as the front. Then thereās the very unusual looking rear exhaust tip, which curves rather far downward away from the bumper. Clearly, this isnāt the production tip, but it also doesnāt look like the typical EPA emissions-testing devices weāve seen on other prototypes, either.
Aside from something being stuck above the passenger-side rear wheel well, the last interesting feature we noticed on this Ford Bronco prototype lies just in front of the rear passenger-side wheel underneath the Broncoās body. There, thereās some sort of āboxā with what appears to be a drain or plug cover in place.

That's the emergency fuel shutoff. Preproduction vehicles are notorious for being piles of shit, fires happen and whatnot.

Definitely looks like a tester they are ready to pull at a moments notice, from front or back, don't want to miss where the hidden pulling points are located. Hmmm?

Proud to be one of the 8.4% who went Oxford White.Only bc it's not Mae Pearl!
*Mae Pearl is my BB OxW SAS lol
FWIW, this pic looks to have been shot through a windshield or some other barrier, as the color shown isn't really close to OW at all
