I know I posted once already, but I thought a visual aid might help show that they are not the same thing.

Yeah, the 2-door has an actual cupholder for each seat (and we used to have to go buy plastic bins with cup holders built in and balance them over the transmission/driveshaft hump using flaps filled with sand to almost, but not quite, make it secure) and no bottle opener, while the 4-door gets the opener and less holders. Makes no sense.

This was shown last week at the OKC auto show.

That's not the redesigned bull bar. That bar is on the winch plate and has been that way since the trail concept was first revealed 7-8 months ago.

Not saying the bar wasn't a bad design, because it is........but I am very thankful that the conversations about crappy things on the Bronco consist of a bad bull bar design, number of cup holders, and weird color choices. Its means Ford did a great job and we have to nitpick.
Well - there are a few more major ones in my mind:
- Towing to compete with Toyota 4Runner / FJ
- Manual 2.7
- Winch blocks the trail cam
- Non-Badlands Mansquatch
- White top

They "listened" and two they are fixing in 2022.

Your overall sentiment though is correct - a wonderful vehicle.
