Best I can glean 2-door Bronco is:
"Slightly wider" than Jeep's 73.8 at the fender flares. Ranger is 73.3. My Renegade is 74.2 and is quite comfortable. I think Gen 1 Bronco was 68.5
LOA is 168-170. Jeep is 166.6 incl rear tire. Renegade is 166.6. Gen 1 only 151.5
Cab height is 71-72. Renegade only 66.5; Jeep 73.6. Gen 1 71.6
I think Bronco's gonna look pretty nice.
Just for comparisons sake, I made the post below in 2016. I updated the specs to the 2019 model year:
------------1976 Bronco------------- 2019 Wranglers
Length --------152.1"---------------- 167" or 188"
Width------------69.1"----------------------74"
Height -----------71.2"--------------------- 74"
Wheelbase ----- 92" -----------------96.8" or 108.4"
Lol, You better save some gold.I’m with you man! I’m saving pennies haha
Ford would be stupid NOT to offer a 2dr Raptor version if they offer a 4dr Raptor version. If you've already done the R&D for the chassis why wouldn't you give that option? Same story for the bigger motor. The only powertrain difference between the two will be a shorter driveshaft going to the back.So after seeing the 2dr and 4dr pics...I do not see Ford offering a 2dr Raptor version. That SWB is laughable for a “desert runner” and I don’t see Ford offering the big motor option in the 2dr which is fine by me because I think the 4dr looks waaaaayyy better.
Now, how long do you think Ford takes to show the Raptor version after the official Bronco reveal?

Sorry man, no way it gets the big motor.Ford would be stupid NOT to offer a 2dr Raptor version if they offer a 4dr Raptor version.

As for the wheelbase vs high speed, there's more to high speed off roading than the Baja peninsula. A short wheelbase vehicle is far BETTER for high speed off-roading on twisty roads.
Jeezus here we go again....Dakar doesn’t have whoops like Baja and all the overseas vehicles that run Dakar are production based small vehicles they have that we don’tThe short wheel base, 2 door Pajero Evolution won the Paris Dakar rally 12 times.
A SWB raptor will handle itself just fine.
