Yeah saw that, was going to post it but didn't want to give haters more fuel. They are probably testing suspension components and most likely not anything close to what the body will look like.

Agreed, that looks more like a chassis mule over anything else. Interesting to see a 6 lug wheel on there too......

Encouraging
I think it’s a test mule. I like the short wheelbase. Looks like it wouldn’t be much bigger than the original bronco.

The mule sort of reminds me of an Isuzu Amigo.

I'll wager that the front clip is close to the production Bronco which may give some clues as to what the next gen Ranger will look like.

i sure hope the Bronco looks nothing like this other than ride height. Seems more like just a basic Ranger in camo though. What you can see of the grill looks like what is currently offered.

Nobody has noticed the massive fail by ford? That's for sure no solid axle up front on that mule. Didn't think ford would screw up the new bronco and I was dead wrong. No IFS bronco for me, ever. I'm not the only one either. Jeep Wrangler dominance will continue unrivaled.

I’m sure we all noticed it. Certainly not ideal but let’s wait until we see the real thing to know for certain.

Fun to watch the panic at the sight of what may not even be the first test mule.

Right? It's hilarious how grouchy people are without any concrete evidence.

Their blood pressure must be off the charts in everyday life

I think this vehicle has nothing to do with the new Bronco besides the frame being shared with the Ranger.
