You notice things when you watch the video on the 60” TV. You can see an extra roll bar on the inside of this Bronco.

I’m curious why they added the extra bar? No faith or just as a precaution?

I would imagine it’s just a precaution since it’s a “pre production vehicle” Also maybe just want some extra protection since they probably don’t have a bunch of Broncos on hand at the moment.

Wondering if it's a requirement for a particular area they tested? It looks to be a full cage added - similar to what would be required for a track car...

Yeah, I noticed that also. It's strange since none of the others had any type of extra cage. Who knows what other kinds of testing this particular prototype did.

Maybe it's a dealer accessory that they're testing out.

Its a full cage which makes me wonder if thats the one they tested at Johnson valley. Supposedly there was some high speed testing done and I can see them wanting to protect employees in a situation like that

I think you’re right. IIRC one of the 4 doors was the high speed test platform down there. Good call.
