Our photographer just spotted another prototype for the Bronco Warthog, this time with some extra confirmation of its name -- having a camouflage panel with "Warthog shock cover" actually written on it by Ford engineers.

We've been reporting on the Warthog name for a while now and Ford officially trademarked the Warthog name in September, but we now have our first real-world evidence of the Warthog name directly tied to the high-performance Bronco variant.

The Bronco Warthog prototype is once again running on the 35-inch tires sized the same as the Sasquatch-spec Broncos, but running on BF Goodrich KO2 All-Terrain T/A rubber.

The "Warthog shock cover" writing is a bit conspicuous......

This one appears to be running different suspension this time out. No telltale orange of the Fox shocks.

Likely written on there while on the bench, pre-assembly. Then someone forgot to wipe it off post install.

No, the 2.7 doesn't. But the earlier shots of one of the Warthog's does.

Agreed. Testing a different platform? Didn't like how the Fox system worked on this vehicle?
