Leaked pics: IFS, 7spd manual shifter (w/ crawler gear), sway bar disconnect, top latch, EcoBoost engine, AUX switches, front & rear lockers!

I had them on my SCrew. Exceptional on and off road, snow, rain and treadlife.

I’ve got them too on my 07 F250 4x4 crew diesel. I really like them.

I can’t decide if I’d be fine with a 34”-35” tire or if I need a 37”.

probably will depend on gas mileage tbh.

I’m probably in the 33-34” tire camp, maybe 35” depending on what package it comes with.

Could someone explain Dig to me?

it is where you need to make a turn sharper than your trucks turn radius, so you lock the rear inside wheel, and only apply power to the front axle when turning, causing you to turn very sharp.

it olden days it required twin sticking the transfer case, and running two seperate parking brakes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it is something different than a conventional sway bar with a disconnect feature.

Imagine a conventional sway bar chopped in half with an electric or hydraulic motor attached to each end. These motors could mimic a sway bar on the highway and help simulate a solid axle off-road. Obviously it wouldn’t address IFS durability or travel issues but it could help with the “leverage” advantage that a solid axle typically has over a conventional IFS system.

You mean you can actually see an internal combustion engine under all that plumbing? Let alone ID it as a 4 cyl?

I'll add, there was an added benefit to being twin sticked. If your gear was strong enough, and the ground slick enough, you could put your front into 4H, and rear into 4L, and get some insane steering ability in mud and ruts, whereas typically in these cases the truck wants to steer straight ahead and fights you any time your turn the wheel (this was typically not done with 1/2 ton running gear, as you'd just break everything.)

My first truck ('88 F-150 XLT Lariat EFI) had high beams on the floor, loved it. (I'm not yet 40)

In 5 years, it probably won't even have a button. It'll just be on. 5 more years, and everybody will forget it because just about everything will be electric.

And like people post "yOuRe oLd iF yOu kNoW wHaT tHiS iS" and post a pic of a high beam switch on the floor...In 30 years, you'll be posting "you're old if you recognize this button"

There was a place called Tellico that had a trail with a section called Slick Rock. This was the method that could work if enough water and mud were on the rock incline. The second the rear gained traction things could go south fast. It was a gamble move if you didn't want to pull cable.

Did anyone else notice the location of the gear mode selector dial? In the February leak photos it is on the center console but on these new photos it is on the lower left of the dash. So perhaps the difference is with the manual transmission option. Maybe different center consoles, bench seat option, or?

2021 Bronco Interior Spied Undisguised!!

New leak photo from this thread:

If they came out with bench seat option. I would trade my JT for one in. heartbeat. family of 6 rarely travel together. but to have that option would be imposible to turn down. Either way very excited for the big reveal next month!

I missed out on Tellico, and am bummed about it.

I can see Ken Block making a spectacle with this mode. Thank you

Did you see the rims? Talk about being scraped up. Let's hope that was from offroading and not curb rash...otherwise I will need to get some curb feelers installed /s.

Really nice size tires too.

Still no sign of the giant red button on the dash. May be a deal breaker for me at this point.

That is an aftermarket install. It includes the ejection seat hardware.

Still hoping for a MECHANICAL parking brake.
