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?
Yeah, there is a slight tip on the exhaust pipe, the other pipe eyeballed at 2.75" Diameter, good for about 300 horses while keeping the exhaust velocity up for scavanging (increased torque). This one seems to be 3.25" (about 400 horses capable), of course if it is 3", then about 330 ponies. Anyone got enough skill to measure the exhaust pipe diameter? My eyes ain't as robust as they were 35 years ago...

HOLY SHIT some of you are so damn negative. The only thing that would make some of y'all happy I feel like is if they released this as the Bronco. And even then I'm sure people would bitch about shit. "I want a fixed roof, my V8 doesn't have cylinder deactivation, I WANT A CARBEURATOR"

STOP COMPLAINING. ENJOY THE RIDE!

Ford Bronco {thread} {filename}
Already got that Bronco.

Gonna take more than big tires to claim victory over Jeep. For all we know the Bronco will articulate like the Everest.

Letā€™s stop declaring it a winner until we actually see it do something.

We are seeing a lot new here.
1. Big tired mean bigger power.
2. Much bigger tires. (35ā€) mean serious business and that Ford is really going for it.
3. Front suspension looks different and better.
4. Nice big fender flairs and wheel wells.
5. Different muffler and probably bigger engine.

These are all just from looking quickly
I know you weren't doing an all inclusive list but wanted to throw out a few more:
+Rock sliders (or power steps)
+Headlight halos are lit up (option... might not have been on the "cheaper" models... they weren't on the first truck we saw)
+Beadlock wheels

Please explain to me how the front suspension is any different than any other mule?

I only skimmed through that page. Can someone help me out as to how itā€™s Bronco related?

I kept reading it as "Spicier"...because these spy shots keep getting spicier and spicier. C'mon Ford! Give us more!

Not being a jerk, but the Raptor runs BFG KO2 not Goodyears. Also, the 315/70/17 measures 34.5" and is considered a 35. Most 35x12.5x17 tires also have an overall diameter of 34.5"

With that said thats awesome you can get 35s stock on the Bronco as its nots offered stock on the Wrangler.



I bet the are as the Raptor is offered with DOT approved factory beadlocks



Yep this.



My Raptor is IFS and handles 35s and 37s fine. Don't know where you're getting your intel from.
Experience.

We canā€™t see a lot but it sure looks much more straight across. Not saying itā€™s SFA but it doesnā€™t appear to have those short arms I saw in the first mule. I donā€™t even think those could handle these tires well.

Hereā€™s to hoping and being optimistic
