It's also worth mentioning that those tires seem to be a new Goodyear tire. I looked on the US site, and there is no such tire. If you google Goodyear Territory, it brings up another similar tire but not in the "MT" form.

Lol I thought the same thing. Goodyear gonna have to develop a "Bronco" tire
My buddy worked in Wheel and Tire and this was not NOT discussed lol, the wrangler name caused more of a stir than you would think!

I like that the rear hatch/tailgate/whateveritwillbe can handle the large tire from the factory. I had to spend almost $1000 to have a carrier on my wrangler that held a 35.

What are all the switches/valves on the underbody? Looks like the rear is a fuel dump? What about front?
Appears just to be a safety fuel shutoff... safety thing for a prototype

So I’m just curious what the hell is going on with the suspension... it’s clearly still IFS but usually when you lift a suspension it will angle down... but it’s still completely straight across?

Is it just me or does it appear to also have a different muffler/exhaust setup than the first tester we saw with the smaller tires?

Is this actually lifted in the suspension vs the previous prototype? Or just riding higher because of the significantly larger tire? I can't tell tbh

Now THIS is more like it! Props to Ford for (potentially) one-upping Jeep's Rubicon 285/70R17 with a 315/70. Don't want to begin to start thinking about the price tag but this is great to see!

Yeah, I suppose snow has a very different definition based on where you live. I'll be happy with either, though I'd prefer the front locker.
Snow itself is variable. You have light fluffy powder, heavy wet stuff, slush/freezing rain. Etc etc
