This is why I continue to believe two things: (1) The Bronco Sport is a great vehicle. (2) But it should not be called a “Bronco.”

SAME!!!!

Mississippi. 2-door Base will be my daily driver and will ride trails. I’ve had a Gen 1 and a Gen 4 (and a Wrangler) in the past. As much as I miss the big Gen 4, size-wise, there is no substitute on tight trails deep in the woods for a 4x4 the size of a Gen 1 or CJ or 2-door Wrangler, and even...

The short wheel base won’t be optimal on the highway. I had a 2-door TJ that could get squirrely on the highway, which I attributed to short wheel base, the relatively light weight of the Jeep, and it being an off-road vehicle. Keep in mind that any Bronco is going to ride a little rougher or...

I have a paid-for 2015 4Runner Trail that I had planned to drive at least another 10 years, until I found out about the new Bronco. It would make no practical sense for me to get a new ride, except that the low price of the Base gives me a justification to sell the 4Runner (which I hate to do)...

IMO the Bronco II gets a bad rap. Only complaint from me is that the top didn’t come off.

My patience is wearing thin for a vehicle that already was projected to arrive more than a year after the reservation date. What a clusterfuck.

I’m not going to do all that, as I don’t want it out permanently. I just was wondering if you could pull it out for cleaning/drying and snap it back in like in a Wrangler.

Okay, after my incessant shit-disturbing yesterday, I must confess that last night I briefly wondered if maybe I should have gotten the four-door. I decided that I want the two-door still for sure, but I offer this transparency as an olive branch. I think the main reason I prefer the two-door...

I was thinking about that this morning. Ford will live or die by their all-in approach with this launch. Imagine the investment in offering the insane breadth of options at launch. Not counting the First Edition, a whopping SIX models, each with three levels of trim, and shitloads of other...

I haven’t checked the 4-door leg room specs but actually wondering if it has as much as in the 2-door. Reason I wonder is I did compare the 2-door specs to my 4Runner, and the Bronco has more legroom and a little more headroom up front.

Nice. I was going to add the roof rails, plus a Yakima basket, on my Base MildTrak but decided it would add hassle to top removal or fall off when I ford speed humps at the mall. I do plan to add a towing receiver package so I can run a rack on the back.

For years before they actually did, I wished Jeep would create a 4-door Wrangler (back when my kids were younger). But when they finally did, I thought it looked like shit. The Bronco 4-door is waaaaaaaay better looking, IMO.

It's also weird that the writer doesn't explain that "gimmicks" such as washout floors and the dash rail are only on certain models. His "research" probably includes just reading myriad articles already out there that make it sound like these features are on all Broncos.

I’m just stirring shit up mostly, but I do think the four-door needs—and deserves—its own moniker with “Bronco” in it, like Bronco XL or Bronco Crew or something more creative. It’s the best-looking four-door SUV now and definitely better-looking than the four-door Wrangler, which is “Wrangler...

Yes, as noted I’ve heard. From people who think the Sport is the “new Bronco.” There is no “we’ll see;” Bronco Sport branding has confused people. Was a time Chevy had the two-door Blazer and the identical-but-longer four-door Suburban. International Harvester had the two-door Scout and...

What’s the relevance of sales? I’m taking about the public confusion.

I’ve had several people tell me “Hey, I saw a new Bronco driving today.” A buddy out of state texted me that and sent a photo ... of a Sport. And the only “Bronco” vehicles in town are Sports. The branding has failed.

Perhaps my beef is, that since I’m old, in the 1970s and 80s, the average person would see my Bronco and say “I like your Jeep.” Bronco vets have done our time supporting the Bronco name. I guess it’s just a new world where “Broncos” have four doors, and South Carolina is “in the SEC.”

Yes, I’m well aware they will sell like hot cakes. Just need a different name, even if it’s “Bronco Wagon” or something. I guess my 1976 Bronco with 30s isn’t a real Bronco, so don’t mind me.
