One of our spy photographers caught one of those funny looking
prototypes out running around, and this time he got a shot of
. Besides helping confirm that this is a body-on-frame truck borrowing heavily from the
, it also shows us an unusual looking sway bar system, plus some beefy off-road tires.
The front sway bar looks quite thick, and it also has a strange round portion in the middle. It looks a bit like the active stabilizer bars used on various
and
products. On the road, these systems can keep the sway bar nice and stiff, but then soften it up off-road for a potentially more comfortable ride, and to possibly gain a bit more wheel travel.
There’s also the possibility that it’s a sway-bar disconnect like what’s used on
and the
. While those systems provide a lot of benefit for solid-axle vehicles, the Bronco clearly has independent front suspension like its Ranger cousin, so seems less likely.
Another tidbit worth discussing are the Bronco’s tires. Our spy photographer got close enough to get a clear shot of the size that we can see the prototype wears 285/70R17 all-terrain tires, which comes out to roughly 33 inches. Those are the same size as on both the
and the new
Rubicon, and are bigger than the roughly 30-inch tires available on the
. All in all, the Bronco is shaping up to be a pretty serious off-roader.
