Maybe inspired by the 60’s Bronco… It could do all that, too. ---

I just happened to see one of those ‘60s Broncos yesterday, open top, looked like a fun truck. Good ones are going for big $$ these days. ---

They never should’ve stopped making Broncos and Blazers with removable tops. in my opinion. Fun vehicles, seems like there’s a market that the others have let Jeep take for years. The Scout was cool too. It looked a lot like a refrigerator. Very appliance - like. I’m sure the new version Bronco will be much more road friendly and have more amenities than the old ones. Much like the Wrangler. I’ve driven 5 hours straight in a newish Wrangler Unlimited. Wouldn’t have wanted to do that in my old CJ5. Certainly not at today’s highway speeds. ---

I think any new Ford Bronco should be designed as a utility vehicle as its main function, & have these characteristics - 2-doors (the only option) - Removable rear seats - Short wheelbase (just long enough to haul a few 4 x 8 plywood sheets with rear seats removed) - Boxy to semi-boxy appearance - 4WD (the only option), either part time using free running hubs, or full time using a true geared center differential. - Removable top & doors - Manual trans standard, with optional automatic - Spare tire either under vehicle or on swing-out holder on back. - No ugly wagon train spoked wheels ---

It is time to order ---

Nearly two years later lets see how Ford did; > [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > 2-doors (the only option) You can get a 2 door, but a 4 door is offered. We’ll give them half-credit for this > [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > Removable rear seats They can’t be removed easily, but they do fold. Nevertheless, no points > [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > Short wheelbase (just long enough to haul a few 4 x 8 plywood sheets with rear seats removed) 100 inch wheelbase on the 2 door model; which is shorter than the previous model. Check > [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > Boxy to semi-boxy appearance It’s quite boxy. Check > [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > 4WD (the only option), either part time using free running hubs, or full time using a true geared center differential. It’s a got legit 4WD system. Check > [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > Removable top & doors You can get a removable top and doors. Check > [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > Manual trans standard, with optional automatic You can get a seven speed manual on the Turbo I4 model (six speed + creeper gear) or an automatic. If you want the Turbo V6, then you will have to get the automatic. Call it half a point > [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > Spare tire either under vehicle or on swing-out holder on back. It’s on the back tailgate. Check > [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > No ugly wagon train spoked wheels There are about five different OEM wheels to choose from. Check. So out of a possible nine points of criteria, Ford got 7 out of 9. That’s not bad as far as automobile design goes vs. the wants of one person. ---

> [@Mustangman](#): > > Maybe inspired by the 60’s Bronco… It could do all that, too. Or the GMC Jimmy. And early 4runners had a removable top also. ---
