Good Morning !

Has anyone done the comparison with the 2019-2021 Ranger suspension vs the Bronco? Design wise they both look similar.

I know the Escape and the Bronco Sport are pretty much spot on to each other.

I'm curious, especially with the Raptor version of the Ranger coming out soon how close they are related.

Ranger is leaf spring in the rear, Bronco is coilover... so there's that.

This is a very valid point. Although isn't the Raptor Ranger supposed to have coil over in the back?

You need to remember/realize the the Bronco doesn't share the "basic" frame with the "current" Ranger, but with the "next generation" Ranger.

So....... we will not know all of the differences until the next generation Ranger is seen.

Just saying....

I'm actually surprised we do not know more about it yet. Normally there would be a preview or some kind of teaser at this point. I know they have the Tremor suspension for now but it would not surprise me if there are similarities between the two.

Depending on what they can carry over from the Bronco to the next-gen Ranger it shares a frame with the off-road heavy trims of the Ranger could be badass.

The ranger Tremor has fox shocks with a leaf spring rear. I would imagine it will be much smoother than the non-tremor Rangers but it will not be as smooth as the full coilover bronco and won't have as much articulation.

Since the Ranger is and always will be a Truck first, the leaf springs will live on. I'm sure the GVWR and payload will require leaf springs.
