To me, the biggest giveaway of this theory is the break in the trim circled in red here...

itā€™s also in line with the visors and the switch panel. Tells me thatā€™s where the roof comes off
That's a good point about the break in the trim. One advantage to that large overhang, if true is it would protect the dashboard screens/electronics from some light rain if the roof was off.

Thank God they don't have the screen sticking above the dash like the Explorer.
I'm really curious to see if there explorer keeps that monstrosity moving forward. The general consensus seems to be that people hate it.... At least online. To me it's such a lazy design solution to a big screen.

Is it possible that the bronco will be auto 4wd like the Explorer? Like all-time 4x4 with the lockers and terrain management? Just curious. Apologies if this has been covered. I just donā€™t see any other transfer case knob unless itā€™s button controlled or something.
Maybe in that dial right behind the shifter?

I'm in the minority here - I like screens high up (hence, sitting on top of dash). Your eyes should stay at driving level, and not drop low to glance at a screen

I don't think we're looking at a final product for the dash top. The fit and finish isn't there. That's some kind of protective cover. Many strange things going on with it. Many areas don't fit correctly including the center piece. There's a small crack in the cover by the passenger window. You can tell it's a cover near the passenger window.

Agreed.

I thought the same thing earlier. That's an awful fitting dash pad lol

Looks like hard plastic.
Probably a development tooled part to check molding capabilities and able to be modified to fit switches, glove box, vents,...
Wondering if they would go body colored hard plastic with a dash pad on top.

I'm guessing the transfer case knob may be on the other side of the steering wheel, or somewhere else not visible in the photo. A little annoying because that's one of the few features that will effect my purchase decision that I'm waiting on confirmation of.
It looks to me like it's the knob right behind the shifter, similar to how it's done on the Ranger.

I've been seeing some guys over at the Ranger 5G forum complaining that it's too easy to bump that knob into 4H, so hopefully the Bronco gets some detents that keep the knob in place until an intentional effort is made to turn it.

Could be. I was thinking that was terrain response mode select. If only this picture was a little clearer we'd be able to tell. It's too grainy to see the difference between 2H/4H and pictures of a Bronco next to a cactus.:

Another thing I'm noticing... those gauges look analog to me. Hope the digital screen is at least an option
