Between the ultra low sulfur mandate, DEF, and particulate filters...
Basically killed any consumer interest in diesel unless you tow, a lot.

Didn't "TELL" you anything.
Simply pointed out there were options that would work just as well (or better) then a Bronco "pickup"
As anyone needing a truck to do truck things isn't going to be looking at a Bronco pickup any more then they are the Gladiator.

The greenies HATE diesel here in the US. Which is strange as in Europe diesel is seen as being green due to its higher mpg compared to gas engines.

Saw another AI rendering floating around social media today

It has to be based on the 2D chassis, like the EB. Naturally, a flip down tailgate with a flip up tag is required. I'd buy this in a minute.

I would actually be ok with that cab/bed combo on the 4dr wheelbase (longer between the door and wheelwell) for a little longer bed…closer to a real truck…It has to be based on the 2D chassis, like the EB. Naturally, a flip down tailgate with a flip up tag is required. I'd buy this in a minute.

Having had the new ranger first I thought it would have been better in the Bronco form. The Ranger is a world car, but a medium sized truck for small people, most of us are not small people and the bronco cab is a better fit, taller roof, more back seat leg room etc.
More commonality of parts one more vehicles will make fixing things cheaper and easier to fix like the F-series trucks. It's more legit then the Sport or other things they might try to do. Jeep and Gladiator people co-exist, so why can't we?

Haters gonna hate ; )
Just teasing since even though I really liked the rendering, I can't argue with your statement, and yes I do have the top on and back seats in my 2 door bronco.

Devil’s advocate: isn’t this true of any pickup truck? Why do trucks sell so well?
Let’s be honest, a small percent of buyers will be camping with these trucks. Instead they want something that looks cool and can drive over the curb at Starbucks. I joke, but that’s really the truth.

That's why I had one then another extended-cab pickup with 6'+ beds and camper shells for decades. DD plus camping and wheeling plus occasional hauling. The beds were usually long enough, but now and then I wished I had a longer bed.
To me, a 5'-minus short bed on a truck is only for odds and ends. I was considering a 4g Tacoma crew cab with short bed. The bed would have had a diamondback cover and would have housed the spare tire plus tools and emergency gear. Got a Bronco instead and I'm very happy with it.

It's why single cabs aren't popular with the populace.
Single cab trucks are 3% overall of sales and I'll guess that means 1% to the populace and 2% to fleet.
If you all don't have a single cab truck now...what makes you want one with such a maniacally stupid bed on some speculation of a possible bronco 1% vehicle?
Bronco, per averages can expect 1% sales of that truck and NO FLEET in their right mind to buy one.
Debunking the faddish amongst us.

Bronco isn’t a fleet vehicle. It isn’t for utilitarian needs, despite what the 1st gen ones may have been.
It is a status symbol “cool” vehicle for mall crawling and tossing some beach gear in the back. And that will sell a lot of vehicles if marketed correctly.
If you want a real truck for towing, hauling plywood, and bringing your 2 kids along then you’ll buy an F-150. If you want something fun to drive and not for hauling kids then you’re the demographic for a 2dr short bed Bronco.
