Spotted: Bronco Warthog marked as "Warthog" by Ford engineers

[Administrator]

Our photographer just spotted another prototype for the Bronco Warthog, this time with some extra confirmation of its name -- having a camouflage panel with "Warthog shock cover" actually written on it by Ford engineers.

We've been reporting on the Warthog name for a while now and Ford officially trademarked the Warthog name in September, but we now have our first real-world evidence of the Warthog name directly tied to the high-performance Bronco variant.

The Bronco Warthog prototype is once again running on the 35-inch tires sized the same as the Sasquatch-spec Broncos, but running on BF Goodrich KO2 All-Terrain T/A rubber.

The "Warthog shock cover" writing is a bit conspicuous......

This one appears to be running different suspension this time out. No telltale orange of the Fox shocks.

Impressive investigative photography.

Likely written on there while on the bench, pre-assembly. Then someone forgot to wipe it off post install.

Of note; the first time the word “Warthog” was said on this forum was Feb 9th of this year.... by me. In reference to how much I love the A-10 Warthog.

Curious

(Also a certain leaker mentioned the word again only a week later)

Here’s the posts for posterity:

No, the 2.7 doesn't. But the earlier shots of one of the Warthog's does.

Agreed. Testing a different platform? Didn't like how the Fox system worked on this vehicle?

Ride height sensor visible in this pic. Air ride?
