Looks like a Lr4 with external wheel to me.

I was thinking the same but mashed up with the Ford Bronco. Odd coincidence the two may be coming out about the same time.

Back when Ford owned Land Rover, the going thought was the new Defender and the new Bronco would share the same platform.

If the new Bronco looks like THAT pic and has a removable top (option), it will destroy the Defender...granted that it was mechanically on par.

If it’s on the ranger platform forget it. You have to pull a wheel to change the oil filter.

Rumor was that the new defender would have a removable roof option...time will tell

Well, I say that, but then just did a search and it looks like the latest test mule seen driving around is based on the F150 platform. So who knows. I suppose it could be a SUV version of a Raptor.

Yeah. They keep floating both. Remember waaaaaay back there was a Bronco and a Bronco II. The II was built on the ranger platform. Gotta wonder if they’re planning the same but why would they need a baby Bronco since they have the explorer?

I guess they already announced there are going to be two new Broncos.

My first vehicle was a Bronco II....an '84, which was not fuel injected. It was awful.
