What can we learn about Bronco looking at the GM Infantry Squad Vehicle

[Nickp]

Just saw an article about this... thing​

​

On paper, it actually has similarities to Bronco. Dana 44 M220 rear axle, Dana M190 Front IFS differential. (Same as the non-BL/Squatch Broncos; Those get the M210 which is beefier) 35” tires, front and rear locking differentials, sub-5k curb weight (couldn’t find an exact number) and 275 HP/ 420 torque; a bit lower than the V6 Bronco in horsepower but a bit higher torque. Overall I would say it’s good to see for us that it passed the durability testing running 35’s and that smaller front dif... probably means that the stock rigs will easily take 33’s and Sasquatch/badlands Broncos should easily take 37’s. Curious what y’all think.​

Also I’m going to head off any jokes; Mil-Spec does indeed mean made by the lowest bidder. But I’m still assuming they tested it to at least SOME degree ?
