Too low?75k?
Wondering the sameSorry. I have missed the details on this one. Would someone mind explaining to me what the deal is with the Warthog? Is it supposed to be a larger version of the new Bronco?
Shhh...Roush Performance Level 2 upgrade kit for ranger 2.3L has dual exhaust tips.
I'm sure it is just a shadow but it looks like the diff drain bolt is missing.Something that is completely missed/ignored in every new thread about the warthog...this unit doesn't have the standard bronco rear end...this is a larger variant of the dana rear-end under the standard bronco, wider diff cover with ribs on the driver side...no it's not the Ranger Raptor rear either, it uses a drop out center section with the Watts linkage.

The rear end photo has a Panhard bar and a removable diff cover.Something that is completely missed/ignored in every new thread about the warthog...this unit doesn't have the standard bronco rear end...this is a larger variant of the dana rear-end under the standard bronco, wider diff cover with ribs on the driver side...no it's not the Ranger Raptor rear either, it uses a drop out center section with the Watts linkage.
The standard/squash rear diff is dana 44 size, this rear-end under the warthog is noticeably wider(diff cover), has more mounting bolts securing the diff cover and has strengthening ribs on the left side...bigger rear axle usually comes with stronger axles...more suspension travel will be in the warthog pkgThe rear end photo has a Panhard bar and a removable diff cover.
I'd really like to know if there's going to be a model with 35 spline axles, more travel etc. That would be worth a good premium....
They also called the 03/04 Cobra’s terminators and 11+ 5.0 motors coyotes so I’ll wait and see on the final result.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.
And the Roush supercharger for the Coyote was called the Mongoose, and then the next generation was the Jackal. The terminator superchargers are no fun and just referred to as Terminators.They also called the 03/04 Cobra’s terminators and 11+ 5.0 motors coyotes so I’ll wait and see on the final result.
Photos show a panhard Stabilizer bar at the rear diff (as pointed out by ekim) ... I anticipate Ford will utilize a Watts linkage stabilizer on a future raptor/warthog trim.The standard/squash rear diff is dana 44 size, this rear-end under the warthog is noticeably wider(diff cover), has more mounting bolts securing the diff cover and has strengthening ribs on the left side...bigger rear axle usually comes with stronger axles...more suspension travel will be in the warthog pkg
Was it MC Hammer that wrote a song about this?
Can you, or anyone else, tell if they are using F 150 bolt pattern as opposed to smaller Ranger? lug nut pattern?Something that is completely missed/ignored in every new thread about the warthog...this unit doesn't have the standard bronco rear end...this is a larger variant of the dana rear-end under the standard bronco, wider diff cover with ribs on the driver side...no it's not the Ranger Raptor rear either, it uses a drop out center section with the Watts linkage.
