I could be wrong, though.

I much prefer your avatar concept to the image posted above. Also cheaper to produce, since most parts would come from F series.

Even Jeep realized the 2 door SUV market is extremely limited. Ford might get the 60's Bronco nostalgia market with this but they'd be smarter to bump the wheelbase back 12" and put in some rear suicide doors behind those front doors. People are lazy these days. No one wants to fold the front seats up and climb into the back seat.
If Ford brought back the 351 Windsor and gave the new Bronco solid axles and quick disconnect sway bars they could knock this one out of the park. But...they won't. This will just be a beefed up Exploder.

All you guys who defend jeeps......seriously? The new wrangler is a fucking piece of shit lmfaooooooo. I’d take this bronco over a newer wrangler any time of day and thrice on Sunday. Leaking roofs, flimsy overheads that flex in 30mph speeds, epas that feels like a tonka truck, leaking diff, ahahahahaha I can go on. That Chinese shitty made crap once used to be legendary but get with the times, Jeep’s are the shittiest running cars in the road for the last decade ahahahahahahaha

I much prefer your avatar concept to the image posted above. Also cheaper to produce, since most parts would come from F series. They did not, but had weak ass engine and no solid axles. Main reason, in my opinion, they are not desirable. Americans wants and needs have changed. The reason I believe a retro small bronco will do well is look at the modern market. Small SUVs are useful as a commuter and weekend off road rig. A large 2 door SUV is not as good for a weekend rig and is halfway useful as a family rig. Suburbans have continued to do well because they hold tons of stuff, big Broncos don't and they get shit mileage. If you are going to get shit mileage, you might as well be able to haul the entire store home, this is why I have my Excursion still. Baby Broncos from the 60's and 70's are worth a ton. 80s Broncos are a dime a dozen. Now If they made a new full size bronco with that new Diesel that could knock down 30MPG, I might be a player as I could afford to drive that back and forth to work and use it to haul on occasion. I could not justify a new baby Bronco but a ton of folks can.
