Not sure there ever was a reason to put the cover on. The New Blazer is easily glanced over and mistaken for everything else already on the road. I’ve seen a couple in person and that’s only because I’ve been trying hard to find them.

Most, if not all auto manufacturers put covers or swirly wraps to cammo the car while they undergo road tests. Some say it's a marketing ploy, other it's to actually hide the car while it's on the road. When i drove for VW of America it was to hide the vehicles from BMW, who also did the same.

I mean the new Blazer specifically

I think the new Bronco is a pretty cool looking vehicle in comparison to anything else that the manufacturers have come out with in awhile. When I first heard the rumors and saw the early prototypes just figured it would wind up looking like every other "cross-over" SUV out there (i.e. Bronco Sport, Blazer, etc....). Add in the available 35" tires, front and rear lockers, swaybar disconnect, etc... Regarding the IFS it should do fine. Part of the issue with the IFS is so many were designed for street use and didn't work well, or hold up well, when subjected to off-road use. If this system was actually designed for off-road use (i.e. Raptor) than it should work okay. With the swaybar disconnect I will be interested to see how it flexes compared to others. The IFS usually also gives you better clearance since the axle is not hanging down.
In any case, Ford will sell as many as they can make to the soccer moms of the world. Just driving to and from work I see multiple lifted and big tired 4 door Wranglers (many of them Rubicons) here in the midwest where there is no public wheeling land and hardly any roads that are not paved. A bunch of these lifted Jeeps on 35's and 37's have probably never even been in 4wd, not even considering being on any type of real trail. Can't imagine how many Rubicon's are out there that have never had the lockers or swaybar disconnect engaged.
Buddy of mine has already made a "reservation" to order one these new Broncos and wants the "Badlands" package that comes with lockers and 35's just because it looks cool. I'll be surprised if it ever gets used on anything other than driving through a field to get to the the deer stand a few times a year....probably never actually need 4wd.

A shame about the IFS, but better than anything GM has released in almost thirty years.
