It's like it is missing doors too, w t f! Lol ... yes, and the hood is probably open, it is still on the assembly line man. 😝
Something looks incomplete about the grill...almost like it's still missing a chrome bezel or insert, the top of the grill and left headlight don't even line up...I'm still hoping for more resemblance to the f150 grill, or if someone with skills can photoshop the raptor grill in place!

This is exactly what I'm looking for, as I live in an urban area with a home that has a very narrow driveway that could barely handle a minivan, let alone a modern F-150. I was seriously considering dropping 15K on a vintage Toyota pickup because it would fit. That's the size I'm looking for, something that I could put a truck cap on and throw wet dirty dogs or muddy bikes in the back, carry fishing gear or junk for the dump from my cottage, tow a sofa with an 8x5 trailer, have decent fuel economy and yet have enough clearance to get up a partially unplowed mountain road in winter. You can do this with a minivan, of course, but you shred the interior. A cap with a rack would be perfect.

If you can lift it a few inches even better, something more than the 10.5" of a Subaru or a CR-V, which are pretty good already.

I think a lot of people will be adding a rack to these...

They can really turn this into a lifestyle truck if they plan it right & add the Bronco Sport off-road capabilities in addition to the aftermarket coming on board as well.

That looks like fun but I'd prefer a more traditional truck topper with a rack for a kayak or canoe.


Regarding he aftermarket, which should be identical for the Bronco Sport at least for lift and suspension, that should be interesting.

I think a good looking bed topper can add a lot to a truck...the aftermarket ones for the Ridgeline are done well. I started an aftermarket options thread with some images of the Bronco Sport with lifts & tire upgrades. Lots of potential.

Does anyone else think it's odd how much plastic there is on the grille? The vents look small or non-existent, but maybe I am just hoping for an all electric version of this truck. Either way, I like what I have seen so far. I am hoping the bed is similar to a traditional truck and doesn't have any first gen Ridgeline angled structural supports.

This is a prototype so who knows.

There’s a cover over the grill. It’s part of the Camouflage

I understand their issues. I’m also sure they allow some of these photos to be leaked. Thought it was funny they listed this one & this forum.

If it was strictly up to Ford marketing and bronco nation, there wouldn't have been anywhere near as much hype, I was browsing this forum for months with only 9 posts, then as soon as the leaked pic got revealed, we jumped to over 175.

These are the communities that will modify their cars, show them off and create a culture around them. I understand Leakes reveal product plans to the competition, but Ford could also easily apply this to their advantage. We live in an age of movie trailers, pre orders etc, Ford shouldn't fight it but work with it.
