[Greg Kaltenbach]

Is it me...or do those look like 37” tires?

thought the same thing...

TFFltruck just had a video up of a test mule out in Colorado. Same truck. Could see the front fender vents, see the rear fenders shape. The one truck here, you can see the o and d in the grille. The beadlock wheels look almost aftermarket with their design, ford went wild with that. Not bad looking though. The tire is taller compared to the other trucks tire. Hope ford puts 37's on the new one. They are testing a new prototype bronco with 37's.

Looks like a cut out in the camo for running light on front fender flare...also Appears not to meet the front bumper flush..either. Just an observation.

I like the beadlock wheel design better than the ones on my 2020.

I’m kinda digging that new beadlock wheel. Looks pretty aggressive. First I have seen of these running around on a pre production.

I think it may be an illusion. But I will say, if these are 37’s then these new beadlock wheels are looking like 18’s. 18” wheel, 37” tire. This is a hit to the overgrown meat eating TRX. Wow this would be a surprise nobody knew would be coming.

That would mean a 4.33 axle gearing or the PB would suffice in aiding with slow speed torque boosting.

That looks like the coverings to hide the new rear suspension. That most likely covers the trailing arms.

That is a rocket launcher that automatically engages a prius once spotted. New feature for the gen 3.

It is possible, but it's not what car makers normally do. When you introduce the new new thing, you always want it to seem as modern as possible. Sticking a model year on it that's been in production for nine months already doesn't send that message. Besides, if you badge it MY2022, you can run MY2022 for fifteen or sixteen months and save money in production and promotion. It's a slam dunk from both production and marketing standpoints and car makers figured it out long ago.

Unfortunately this year isnt normal. Ford is starting production for the 2021 Mustang in January, when they should of been out by now. the 2021 Mustang Mach 1 isnt coming out till the Spring, then the 2021 Bronco probably wont come out till late Spring, then in a few months the "2022" would be out.

Like Justin Bieber once said. Never say Never
