"Without a solid front axle, I don't see how it competes with a Wrangler for true off roading. However, for the large majority of buyers who never take their vehicle off road and just want an aspirational "adventure" vehicle to be seen in, IFS should be a point in the Bronco's favor for better road handling."
As a former IFS offroader, I agree. I think they're targeting a similar audience as the Raptor but in small-mid size SUV form. Desert running with some of the milder to mid level rock trails, without need to modify. I think those looking to modify (suspension lifts, bumpers) would still choose the Wrangler.
