2021 Ford Bronco spy shots reveal its boxy, Jeep-like body

It’s happening! Ford has been testing its new 2021 Bronco 4×4 in the wild (literally) and spy photographers managed to capture clean shots of this development mule in its natural habitat. 

Previous Bronco mules caught testing in the real world have been little more than pickup truck body panels strung together over the 4×4’s chassis, depriving us of any real clues as to what Ford’s final product will look like. Today, we’re getting our first real glimpse of what the Blue Oval has in store for off-road fans. 

This looks to be exactly the sort of car fans want from Ford’s iconic off-road nameplate, from the squared-off proportions to a visible solid rear axle (the leaf spring shackle is visible on the left side in rear-end photos) and beefy brakes. The body camouflage is extensive, but it’s hard to hide what looks to be either a soft top or removable hard top.
