Or a wrangler.I bet there’s a Hyundai hiding under there...
Yeah, who would want a little SUV with a problematic gutless engine, IFS and electronic 4wd?By the looks of it, you would have to be under 5 feet tall to ride in that ride, looks like absolutely no room for adults...must be the Fisher Price kids pedal car from Toys R Us...better hurry and get one they're going out of business LOL.
Bet its at least IFS, if not front and rear independent suspension, front wheel drive, with a little plastic knob for terrain management in the AWD models, a 10 speed automatic and a lawnmower engine in it. Yep, Ford screwed up the Bronco just like they did the Ranger.
Oh, and a $50k+ price tag. $55k if you want the bucking bronco emblems.
You could always use it for Extreme Barbie Jeep Racing:By the looks of it, you would have to be under 5 feet tall to ride in that ride, looks like absolutely no room for adults...must be the Fisher Price kids pedal car from Toys R Us.
Well there were rumors of a factory solid front axle and manual transmission, as it is supposed to be trying to directly compete with the Wrangler.Bet its at least IFS, if not front and rear independent suspension, front wheel drive, with a little plastic knob for terrain management in the AWD models, a 10 speed automatic and a lawnmower engine in it.

I think the article I saw about that was in Jalopnik. There had been a leak from Dana that parts were being sourced for the front of the new Bronco (Ford using a Dana front, big surprise there) and it was possibly going to be sharing front end parts with the Wrangler. So we may be looking at a solid D44, like the Grands Cherokee.there was something on the hill at the dpg when i was going down southfield today that looked like it had straight axles on it....and it wasnt a fawking excursion. could have actually been a jeep though.
Or a SLA Dana 35 like the last Ranger. Could be mixed with the theory of the TTB D35 that shared parts with the Jeep D35.I think the article I saw about that was in Jalopnik.

I know that Dana makes a lot of stuff. I can't actually think of any 4x4 front axle Ford used since the Shoe Box Broncos that wasn't supplied by Dana, except for the Expedition/F-150s with the front 8.8.Or a SLA Dana 35 like the last Ranger.

Dana makes a bunch of different things, I wouldn't hold my breath for a solid axle just because Dana is making it.
