Saw the Warthog Bronco Testing

[Mattwings]

was it on 37s?

Looked liked 35s. Lots of room for 37s.

So, briefly. It had a ton of travel, obvious remote reservoir shocks, sensors on front and rear suspension and shocks, obviously different control arms, it was running and had that signature farm implement v6 sound. Could easily fit 37s if the tires on it were 35s (I am assuming they were). It was very big. Long, tall, wide. Smaller than an F150 equivalent, much bigger than the Ranger equivalent.

This is at the end of the industrial drive off Southfield. They run through those fields back there (owned by DTE) for supposed “offf road” testing.
I wheel the 4runner back there occasionally

Any chance we get a 2 door warthog? Only seen 4 door testers.

Thank you for the Warty Pics and info!

If it winds up being a '22 I'm waiting haha

I was excited to see it, although I don't have a particular interest in it (other than being interested in all things Bronco). if anything, I would like taller/narrower old school set up and look. I was more excited to see the BL on 33's. Now I know that tire size is perfect for me. Bad news, my wife, my daughter and I are all on the Yellow color now. That does not help the price. I am pretty close to the f*** it stage, where I just go all in and on BL, Lux, 2.7 in CO. At least I can save the $ on SQ now.

And GPS coordinates...

The giant Uniroyal tire makes it pretty easy to find.

The stance (like the Raptor) will be KILLER!

I agree but I also think that the 2-door and 4-door Bronco should have come standard with this "Warthog" stance (as in no 16" wheels and 30" tires). All Broncos should have come standard with 33X12.5R17s with optional 35X12.5R17s or 37X13.5R17s. I personally think the "Warthog" shouldn't be a Bronco trim but a package that would be nothing more than a 3.5L Ecoboost/5.0 Engine upgrade paired with the 10-speed and the Sasquatch suspension. So basically, an engine upgrade for maybe $2k extra that could be put on any trim level just like the Sasquatch Package. But yes, it will be killer, but I had to rant lol.

Nice seeing it next to the explorer to give a better sense of how big/tall the truck is... I was worried it may not fit in my garage as it would be too tall but doesn't seem to sit too high.

She is definitely thicker than a bowl of oatmeal.

I hope it gets released soon. My wallet is ready and willing.

Just to clarify, that is an Expedition and the Warthog was a bit taller. I didn't post all my pictures, becuse some were grainy and I can only take so much complaining

Availability, Summer of 2031 .... MAYBE ... all depends on parts, suppliers and management .... but probably Fall of 2035 .... the end of the Fall ...... or beginning of winter ..... somewhere in those time frames.

I felt kind of bad for the development guys, they were all working in person, in packed buildings (lot was full) down the street, at world headquarters, lot was empty (work from home). No doubt they are trying to get these vehicles to production ASAP.

Exactly my thoughts earlier on when it was revealed- why not make it a package instead of it’s own trim.

Basically any trim can add squatch or warty package to their trim!!!!

No, a two door Warthog would defeat the purpose of calling it a warthog. It would have to be called beauty queen or something more appropriate.
