It’s been stated that big Bronco will include boron steel for strength in at least the roll bar.
Here is a link to its performance in the Bronco Sport under rescue extrication. The rigidity is impressive:

A-pillar did not deform or crush under the jaws… ultimately gave way while retaining its shape:
Rocker Panels also include boron steel, and they didn’t even deform or crease under the ram:
