2021 Ford Bronco has officially leaked

I don't like the four door but I don't like the four door Jeep either. The two door is very cool and I think the angle of the picture throws off the look so it seems like the front is too long? The 3.5 ecoboost in my heavy F-150 absolutely rips so the 2.7 (or 2.3) will make that a fun vehicle to beat on. I wonder what the angry grille will look like on it?

For some reason I don’t like the rear overhang, it’s too short IMO. The two door is too long in the front and the four door is too short in the rear. However, I do like the look, especially the four door.
Kind of a small thing, but I really miss the Bronco logo with the bucking horse. I get that just having the word "bronco" on the grill is more modern and all, but hopefully they'll bring it back somewhere, at least on a special edition or something.

I think Ford has an advantage over FCA in that the Bronco reportedly shares a good portion of it's architecture with the new Ranger. Having a global platform will certainly reduce manufacturing costs.
I read somewhere that they re-used the Raptor's IFS. I would think that's the Ranger Raptor and not the F150 Raptor (though I don't know that they don't share), and I can't find travel numbers for the Ranger but Google says F150 Raptor has 13" of wheel travel stock, which let's be honest, is more than the vast majority of us are getting out of streetable TJ's. The key will be ball joints and CV halfshafts that can take the stress of a locker driving a 35" jammed against a rock at full droop and full lock.
I like the 4 door, but not the 2 door as some have said. The Grille and headlights are a bit over the top, but I'd still be OK with it in the overall package. If I'm pushing 50 and saying this, then I'm guessing the younger crowd might like them better than I do. I would have much rather it have simpler LED's that were easily replaceable like in the Wrangler. I'm sure the aftermarket will do something, but it won't be cheap most likely...looks like it all has to be swapped out in one piece with the grille. Likely a nice hefty price to upgrade...guessing $1,000 or so.
I've see a few people mention the resemblance to Land Rover, my father mentioned the 4 door reminded him of the International Scout... I kinda see it!!

Yep, I see it as well.
I actually like the full-size 4-door version. I think in my mind it looks better than a JLU by a lot.
Of course the real question is how long will it be before the Chinese launch an angry turd grille for it?
Maybe they'll do a "Wuhan flu grille" if we're lucky.
The one feature that really sticks out to me as a "WHY" is how they dropped the door line at the windshield then raise it back up behind the doors. It doesn't look too bad on the 2 door but the 4 door it just looks funky to me.
See, that's weird, because I thought it looks weird on the 2-door but pretty good on the 4-door
Why they did it is a mystery. It appears it's nothing more than a styling cue I suppose.
Maybe it has to do with the contrast of the black (possibly soft top) vs the color matched hard top?? I reserve my right to alter my opinion once I see them topless!!See, that's weird, because I thought it looks weird on the 2-door but pretty good on the 4-door

Edit: it also looks like the 2 door top is sectional??? Hmmm

Yes, I think that may have something to do with it. I've never liked the body matched hard tops (or fender flares) on the JKs or JLs. I always thought it was just too much color. So that may have something to do with it. My guess is when you take the top off them they'll look a lot better.
I'm also still struggling to figure out how the doors come off with no hinges on the outside.
Yeah, it looks like the hard top is indeed sectional, much like the JK hard tops.
Ford likes to drop the window near the side mirror, they just brought it further back this timeSee, that's weird, because I thought it looks weird on the 2-door but pretty good on the 4-door
