That looks downright sophisticated compared to my expectations.

I hadn't poked around digging up Bronco info for a bit... but I did yesterday for a few minutes.

It appears that Ford is going to allow the Sasquatch package with the manual transmission after all.

also in the making is an additional 2 inch lift and 37" tires from the factory for the first model year.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
I followed the Warthog all the way across Illinois about a week ago. Great truck. Looks like they're taking it back to Gen 1 roots.
Umm... you do know?.... nevermind.

Rumor has it the experimental truck spotted crossing Illinois even had a 5 liter...

I'm not seeing much not to like about this thing... except the price.

Here is a picture of an actual "First Edition"

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.

Towing numbers aren't impressive... nor are the payload numbers.

It does have some rake... and I believe all the first editions have the towing package. So there is that...

The towing package is the little receiver that bolts onto a crossmember with four bolts and connector for $500. With no GVW info available I don't think anything changes that way.

Looks like they expect people to do a bunch of towing with them, holy rake.
By the time you add fuel can, hi-lift jack, tools, spare parts, cooler, camping gear with 50 lbs of cast iron cookware, coleman lanterns, stove and fuel all that rake will disappear . I like it.

About all they are rated for, like 3500lbs or something like that.

I just want it for a recovery point.
