When I was towing trucks about 6-7 years ago I would see the Ford Ranger driving around up around the big testing facility in Marysville and those just finally made it to dealers this year?

The ranger was a global vehicle, they've had em in Mexico for a long time, probably 6-7 years? That's one reason it looks outdated.
And if it was anything but a Jeep, that kind of track record would kill resale value...
I had high hopes that the bronco would be bigger on the inside mainly more room in the back seat. After seeing the numbers on the dimensions it's smaller on a lot of places than the new Jeep JL. I thought this would be my wife's next ride-family travel vehicle but I guess we will keep looking
The 4 door looks like an International Scout humped a Jeep LJ, and I love EB's. Not a fan yet.
So how long before they put a pickup bed on it?

Probably because its an artist interpretation and not the Bronco. The mirrors are the tell

At this point I'm not in attendance at the Playa Haters Ball, but just indifferent about the new Bronco. I also wanted to share an inaccurate meme showing how the Bronco was conceived.

I would be surprised if someone isn't already working on fitting a JK/JL spec axle and suspension in the front.
I just hope the IFS isn't junk.
The only good thing about the Jeeps having a straight front axle, is that it's easier to swap out the axle for something that doesn't suck so hard.

Wonder how easy the SD axles will be to adapt (as far as speedo, ABS etc.)

This one may have the aftermarket excitement to make IFS worth keeping. If the front diff can survive and RCV offers bombproof axles it may be worth keeping

Same thing I was thinking. With Dana/Spicer supplying all the axles, plus bolt in 60s for the Jeeps, and the commonality of swapping SD axles into JKs (and even JLs I reckon), hopefully it wont be a big deal

...I'm still waiting for someone to blaze the way for full electric steering. **** all this hydraulic bullshit. (For offroad rigs....modern vehicles are using electric power steering already)

Yep, I really liked the feel of the electric power steering in my 16 RAM 1500. It was more responsive and you feel more in control than a hydraulic rack and pinion.

Even the new C8 has switched over to BRAKE by wire.
Trickle down effect is slowly gonna happen...
