The Bronco should be the smaller off road capable vehicle. :(

The small one might be based on the heavily-revised Escape chassis.

Nice
Today's Ford Bronco Media release...
Available this Spring.
Video (link below) of Bronco prototype using cobbled body mounted on production prototype chassis in CA's Johnson Valley in the Mojave.
Note how f/r wheels behave relative to the terrain, esp when suspension jacks a front off the ground under load -- minimal wheel spin ...has to be a Torsen or similar E-locker.
Also the short rear overhang on this cobbled body would seem to indicate coils since seemingly not enough room for rear leaf mount and showing what looks like a trailing arm underneath with seemingly more travel than airbags or an IRS could likely provide.
Seems very composed overall -- well-damped suspension with a little to no rebound after nose-down. Good clearance overall with modest-sized BFG All-Terrains.
Hard to tell, but attack and departure angles look like they could be exceptionally good if actual body will be dimensionally similar to this cobbled 'franken' tester sheet metal.

Will almost certainly baseline with the Ranger 2.3EB I4 (270HP/310Tq) but hot rumor is the 2.7EB V6 twin-turbo (325HP/400Tq) in the F150 may well be an option! That would be awesome!!

Looks a little weird w the 1/2 cab.
Still hope it’s different looking, not just a shorter F150
