    Okay, been watching up on the Bronco.
    1. 3,500# tow capacity...?
    2. No rear window roll down...?
    3. Can this IFS support a snowplow?
    All practical questions (I know I just want a roll down back window).
    A bit more towing and it is a real workhorse again (no pun intended).
    I want a 2 door! I would need to drive one but to add to the wife's T4R...:devil::headbang::spy:
    Is that bad?

    3500 tow is same as Jeep (more in some cases)
    No rear window roll down same as Jeep

    Just from the rear design, you can tell they are targeting Jeep owners. Tough to compare against 4Runner since it's a different class.

    I still can't get over those fender flares. Total fail, IMO.

    Why didn't they just make the body wider?

    Now, if you can take those fenders off and run a tall skinny, that wouldn’t be bad.

    I would have those things ripped apart in the first month. Scrub Oaks are almost as unforgiving as a boulder out west.

    If it hasn’t been said already, Sasquatch upgrades are legit, that’s what’s the TRD Pro should have been.

    See, if they had only gone with the fender flares in this picture, it would have looked 1000% better.

    Of course it’s to early to tell. You can’t even buy and the quality and reliability are totally unknown.

    I would say an action sports minded couple with a very young family might buy in, but it just doesn't look practical for having grade to middle school children and taking a trip with luggage and gear. But, I'm not in that demographic so I could be completely wrong. I know young people will want one but affording one might be out of reach. If the economy takes a real slide in the coming years, this discussion could be all for not, depending on the price point. Hell it might not even get released. It also could end up being a rich boy toy, with collector models bringing big money in the next 10 to 20 years. If aoc gets her way, none of us will be driving any of these trucks. Contractors will be working out of a Prius.

    Haha, there will always be a few ICE vehicles. Mostly antiques 20 years from now, hopefully, for the long term benefit of us all.
    In the mean time the Bronco could steal a lot of market share from Jeep and Toyota. They did a lot of research and it shows. I bet the LR Defender guys are eating their hearts out right now. Why couldn’t have LR done that? Haha.
    A lot of families drive 4 door wranglers, and I’m sure a lot of families will be considering 4 door Broncos.
