Comparison?

Kinja'd!!!

Front seems the same as what we see overseas...could it just be that but with fun and exciting camo? IDK! I don’t have time to stare at these and figure it out.

Seems that they changed the grill and not much else. I honestly expected more changes, my guess is that the interior will be the biggest change.

EDIT: That grill now looks more like the Everest one:

Article I read with those shots somewhere (TTAC maybe?) speculated that without the full camo (fake panels, etc.), there’s one of 2 conclusions: A: this is close to the final product and they don’t care if people see it, or B: It’s far enough from the finished thing (they’re testing is more focused on something not visible) that it doesn’t matter if people see it in this form. The speculation also included that maybe the grill and tailgate would be re-worked to more closely mimic the current f-150 and the side panels would stay the same.

Edit: It was also an autoblog article with the same shots included:

looks like they changed the grill and bumper

that’s ford way of saying whole new truck. Can’t wait to see the change of grill from the Everest to make a new bronco

It’s not as harsh of a compare when you don’t use the body-cladded up wildtrak edition:

What’s funny is that they have it running around with all this camo, when undisguised ones have been seen in Detroit for a few years now, going around on M plates.

I thought it was curious, myself.

The T6 just had a facelift, I can’t imagine our version will be too much different given the 1 ford policy.

Perhaps a case of old body, testing new chassis underneath?
