2021 Bronco Vs 1988 B2

The other day I noticed this was at my local dealership, decided to snap these photos quick. That is my ‘88 B2 that I rebuilt, stock 2.9l. Figured you guys would appreciate this little comparison

That's the Sport. Correct?

Nope, looks like a 4dr black diamond on my phone.

So that's small for the full-size Bronco then.

That is the full sized 4 door wild track that was touring Minnesota this month for demos, i’d say they did a good job basing it off the original model’s design and specs

General consensus for the 4dr is picture the carcass of a first or second gen Explorer. See also Wrangler.

Not "full sized" like the later old Broncos, it is based on a Ranger running gear.

From my understanding, they based this model off the original design, this is especially noticable in the 2-door model. This bronco definitely reminds me a lot of the 1st gen Bronco

They 3d scanned a first Gen Bronco but also like the first Gen Bronco they are gunning for Jeep... Hard.

Successfully too. There’s been big Jeep off roaders who have gotten into a full size and been greatly impressed to the point that they’ve purchased Broncos, we’ll see who sticks with it though, some of these new features they’ve got are gonna be huge in this fight

Wifey corrected me, it's a Wildtrack.

I am so excited to get those in! They are gonna kick the Jeeps ...

The easy way to tell is the spare tire... the sport doesn’t have a spare hanging off the back.

Or a detachable roof, or trail sights on the fenders.

Bronco Sports also have a stepped roof line which is kind of the first thing I look at.

Ford did come up with some subtle hints...

The spare is easier to discern than that though.

From the front or quartering front they can be kinda hard to tell apart, especially on the fly as you meet one on the road.

I have yet to see the bigger Bronco in real life...
