Spy Shots—Best Look Yet at Bronco Mule

From SEMA:

Caught testing in Dearborn, Michigan, the Bronco mule wears light camo over a cobbled-together Ranger T6 body. Recently, the Bronco has been seen testing with the Jeep Wrangler and Toyota 4Runner, but it has been a task to capture them all in one image since they’ve been leaving the proving grounds at different times.

The Bronco will have body-on-frame construction, and unlike the Ranger, will have a coil-spring solid axle in the front and back. According to sources, the Bronco will have Dana Spicer AdvanTEK axles with a Dana 33 up front and a Dana 44 for the rear. The axles will be assembled at a new facility in Toledo, Ohio, and is located right down the street from the Jeep Wrangler plant. For cost reasons, the F-Series’ aluminum construction will not make its way to the Ranger follow-up or the Bronco.

The Bronco is expected to share the Ranger’s 2.3L turbocharged four, paired to the new Ford/GM 10-speed automatic transmission. A hybrid powertrain is rumored to be part of the lineup as Ford goes all in on hybrid availability throughout its product portfolio.

Looks like a Pontiac Aztec @ss-raped a Ford Pinto and this was the 4th trimester abortion.

I mentioned in the other thread that dealers were shown the Bronco and a friend of mine who works for Ford saw the Bronco and all of them said it was absolutely awesome. Something is going on because Travis has made comments about it essentially stating don't get your hopes up for it, so this is either one of the few versions of it they plan on coming out with or everyone is lying lol. The Bronco Ford had at the car show under wraps was much more body than this one in the photo and actually looked bigger than this one. I'm gonna keep hoping there is more to it than just this one here.
