I am not knocking the round lights at all, I am just having more fun comparing the looks of the front to a first gen Ranger/BII than is probably healthy. I tuned up my mspaint skills this morning.

It would pass for a 4dr Bronco II with some minor grille tweaks.



I like that.

That looks good... You should buy one and do it.

*Disclaimer... I’m a big fan of wasting money, especially when it’s not my money.

I like that.
I could live with that look, but the back and top looks way too Wrangler like...can't anyone build a vehicle that looks different than everything else on the road, or do automakers only have 1 mold they pass around to each other...

Would you rather it looked like an EB Bronco which was a knockoff of an International Harvester Scout?

Honestly with the somewhat higher beltline... I do see a little Scout in the back end.

I had the same wishes after seeing the Ramcharger April fools joke by Fourwheel


It generated alot of people wishing Dodge would bring it back but again automotive companies make what they want not what we want then they squirt some electronic diarrhea all over it then blame the federal government. Same old story. So If I want a new Ramcharger I will buy a single cab Ram and a roof from a 4 door and get one made. Its just as expensive as a new truck.

Maybe Jeep will Sue Ford for making a copy of the Wrangler 4 door LOL, that's how closely it resembled the Wrangler Unlimited in the top and door area. Not saying its bad, just that much time and effort put into a design and all they managed to do was copy Jeep LOL.

So this is the larger size based on the Ranger or Explorer and only a 4 door? The smaller one is the Escape based with 2 doors, or 4 doors? Was hoping they'd offer a 2 door in the larger model. Too soon to tell though maybe still in the process of finalizing those options maybe? Hopefully LOL.

Big Bronco - Ranger based - 2 and 4 door versions.
Little Bronco - Escape based - 4 door only (that we know of.)

Ok, thank you for the help. I'd rather have a 2 door "Bronco" LOL, its just not a Bronco if it has 4 doors IMO. The smaller Escape based model don't look too bad really, just oddly looks like a Range Rover for some reason...Was hoping they'd do a 2 door version of the smaller one too, more Bronco 2 like to possibly fit in with my 88 Bronco 2 HAHA!! Although if they keep the prices on the full size Bronco reasonable I really wouldn't mind possibly buying one if they'd offer more of a base model line with minimal accessories, possibly a carpet floor delete option I hope, and no built in navigation...I can live with the smaller screen for the radio stuff just don't really need navigation. Definitely will hit the dealership when they release them to give them a look over.
