I think that is the hood of a larger vehicle hanging on a rack in front of the "small utility", but its hard to tell from that view
Fits the clamshell style hood you can make out on the prototypes.

I think that is the rear door handle bezel void. Something blingy and chrome and plasticky will fill that spot to house a door handle and back up camera I’m guessing.
More than likely this will be a plastic piece painted body color.

Looks like they went with a traditional liftgate. Makes sense on that vehicle, but I hope it doesn't get duplicated on the BroncoBronco.

(Almost) any way they do it, the tire has to swing away, no? Could be done with any configuration.
True but it requires much more power to lift the tire upwards than to swing it to the side. I for one would love to have the ability to open it like a standard liftgate but would be surprised if they went that route.

If there is a removable top, I bet it will work similar to the Jeep. Swing gate style door where the tire is mounted, and liftgate glass.

These images were before the design would have been finalized, and could be slightly off scale, but if the rest of the models are proportionate I would expect the Broncos to be too. The 3 and 5 door models do seem to have more differences that an extra pair of doors would account for.

Does this look like the Broncos have protruding fenders and wheels? There seems to be a clear delineation for the hood width.

Are the bodies of the Broncos similar to the Ranger, but the track width comparable to the F150?

The windshields are certainly more upright than the pickups, but the curve of the roof on the 3 door suggests they're not flat -- the 5-door model does seem to have a flat windshield though.

I just want to see something soon dangit! I have to apply more duct tape to my truck this weekend. And I'm running out of duct tape, and patience before I have to buy something to get me to/from work.

There's no reason why it would have to move up with the gate. No matter the gate configuration, swing the tire to the side first. Zero change to the way it was done in the early Broncos.

Ahh, okay, I misunderstood what you meant. In that case, I'd still prefer it to be able to stick to the gate and swing up. This is just a personal preference as parking on a hill or in tight areas has made it harder to access the back for me in the past.

I think the one on the left is the "baby", and the one on the right is the real bronco. You are right though. It appears to have fender flares, also a detail to the hood.

I think you are correct. F150 and Ranger behind the 2 broncos on the right. Superduty and Expedition on the left behind the unibody bronco.
Quick side note.... there appears to be four different pick ups. Ranger, F150, super duty, courier...maybe? You can also see the mustang EV. Then in the back appears to be a small transit van with a hat. Maybe autonomous driving vehicle prototype.

the baby is on the opposite side, left side of the picture, first row. you can make out enough of the grill and lights, and roof rails to line it up with what we've seen of it.
