I really hope the Bronco leads to a renaissance of these types of vehicles.  I can see why MFGs are reluctant from having to discontinue all of the removable top SUVs in the 80s/90s due to lack of sales though.

They've seen this movie before.

Not needed. Had one for a lot of years. The 4Runner stomps all over it in every category. There is not one aspect of the Xterra that is better than a 4Runner. Toyota wins this one hands down.

Jeeps, broncos, Jimmys, and single-cab pickups that are not sold as status symbols. Basic, stripped-down, inexpensive off-roaders that are used for doing truck shit instead of over price pavement-pounding makeup haulers.

Toyota needs to apply the 1st Gen 4Runner design to the Tacoma.  Maybe bob the rear end a bit and they would be competetive in the Jeep market.

Subaru Cross Trek WRX version with factory lift and 235s would be fun as hell.  The aftermarket has proven this concept.

With everything folded down, they will fit a full length twin matress.  

I bought mine as a winter econobox, but it's super fun to drive in the snow and on fire roads.

Honest question: what did you expect them to be? And what would you want

Id love to see a two door "XL" version with a little more storage room behind the seat, but other than that and "muh V8 and SFA" the new ones would take lunch money from any factory Bronco ever produced.

I didn't appreciate my pig-tails being pulled when it came to Ford and how they strung us along for years about brining back the Bronco

First gen Nissan Xterras. Loved my 04. "Every thing you need and nothing you don't" was the slogan. Simple dash and controls. No bullshit. Plenty of power for the woods, too.

I think these are still made and sold outside of the US, but in the ideal configuration: 5 speed manual 4WD with a deisel power plant. "Paladin" is what they call them if my info is correct.  

If these came with tip out vent windows and manual windows, they'd be more perfecter than Glock is.

Honda Element.

It was ahead of its time,  and showed up before the boxy look was accepted.

Every single person that rides in ours is amazed at how much they love it.  Like mama special boy,  it's only ugly on the outside.  

My father was amazed at how much it could fit with the rear seats removed,  and for it his tape measure.... other than height,  it had more room than his older, midsized dodge pickup bed.

Give it an extra 100hp, it would be a dream.

They can take somewhat bigger tires, I think I put 225/75/16 on mine, which is... I want to say 29".  My kid is out driving it now, or I'd look.

That Turbo Charged four cylinder puts out 2.5x more horsepower than the stock 302 did in your “real” bronco.

The new bronco is superior in every way to the old bronco.
