They can make incremental changes to “ugly it up” with things like those disgusting wheels. But I’m sure the fit/finish/quality will still be on par with a 2009 Chevy Aveo. So that’s good news, right?

… but IF it’s the RTR being tested for the changes, then it’s a 2.7l auto transmission heat exchanger on a 2.3l… they said their going to use the BRaptor radiator fans….
… hope people understand these are not spy photos.
They were taken by someone while they were on the Dearborn test facility (not pictures taken over the wall). ;^)
They are showing you what ‘they want you to see….
I'm curious to see how the Sasquatch flares, mud flaps, and the non-powered side steps from the 2025+ models (with the flared up edge on the ends of the step) all line up. The mud flap design follows the curves of the vehicle better than the aftermarket options out there.
The Lincoln LT literally became the platinum F-150
I don’t know guys looks like they’re trying to class up the Ford bronco and make it a Lincoln, tucking in fender flares, gloss piano black, automated steps, etc. even the raised logo on the side looks like something Lincoln would do

Just a new bronco package they're testing I'm sure, which explains the different side badge.
Nothing different about the fender flares other than paint.
Ford badge is still on back even though it's covered and still says bronco on the windshield.
Just minor tweaks for a new model year like normal.

That was 20 years ago. They don't do that anymore...
Right? this suggestion that this is a Lincoln version because they painted the flares is dumb.

Because if there is ONE thing the Bronco absolutely direly needs... its yet another goddamn trim package.

Piano black fender flares? Nothing says “mall crawler” faster. This has to be some upscale version directed at the Range Rover crowd.
I hope it means that Ford moves from stickers to actual badges for all trim packages in 2027.

I wonder if it will have a sun visor that goes all the way to the windshield without hitting the rear view mirror? 
As long as the top still cracks, and creaks, and leaks, and the db level remains above 80 at 80 mph, and there are at least 3 recalls per year, it will still be a Bronco.
Sounds like you have not figured out that your mirror has TWO pivot points, one at the mirror and one at the windshield... That mirror if properly adjusted will barely fit between the two visors... Neither of my visors strike the mirror and I have the even larger wolfbox monitor instead of the stock mirror.I wonder if it will have a sun visor that goes all the way to the windshield without hitting the rear view mirror?
