  6x6 USA builds these trucks and I guess they were never designed to go up a small hill.

It's already common knowledge the Bronco will be based on the Ranger, so it will be RWD/BOF.  

Now the baby Bronco (rumored to be Bronco Scout) will be FWD CUV since it's based on the Escape. 

Seems pictures of it in camo and an oops uncovered shell hit the news.

That appears to be a "baby Bronco" as you can see the independent rear axles and it also has those FWD proportions.

During one of our storms back in 2015 a almost 3,000 unit shipment of BMW and Mini's that arrived in Vancouver BC sat on the dock awaiting transport when this storm hit covering them in heavy sea water mist and rain. As such, the Halifax recall sent all these cars to a salvage yard and now 4 years later they still sit there. New undriven cars. Makes one wonder what kind of deal you can get if you could get them to sell it to you on one of the M series.

Good ole 2WD... Or the jackass doesn't know how to engage 4WD. 

They definitely cheapened out on only 2 of the 4 rear wheels being powered.
