The Bronco II was a great vehicle for it's time but the new Bronco isn't going to be remotely like or similar to the Bronco II. With removeable top and doors it's aimed right at Wrangler,

I hope you are right. Everything I am finding suggests that they may have done decent market research and are hoping to:
1. Appeal to the “classic Bronco” styling that has shown great popularity
2. Refine the look to be classic with modern amenities
3. Compete directly with Jeep
It seems that the “Baby Bronco” may not appeal to classic Bronco fans. But the “New Bronco” should have a decent stance, removable top, square looks, and some power under the hood.
I have no issue with the engine representing modern refinements and economical features.
Would love to roll in something that can hold its own off road and on, without looking like the competition!
Go for it Ford! You can do this.

I truly appreciate and look forward to seeing any and everything you post.
Obviously, you are a valuable and trusted connection for information as opposed to the usual rumors that always precede any new vehicle, especially the rebirth of an old friend.
If they build a RCSB version of the Tremor, I’ll do whatever it takes to get one in my garage. Then put the wife into a new Bronco that is if I can convince her to give up on Subaru SUV’s… LOL!

lmao. "this is going to be a compact suv". this whole time everyone knew it was going to be built off the ranger platform. also from what ive heard the raptor is only like 2-2.5 inches wider than the ranger. lmao, compact suv.
The 'new' version could be, but the current international Ranger Raptor is only 1 inch narrower than the F150 Raptor. Great for a pre-runner, but kind of ridiculous for anything else. It's one of the big reasons I have no interest in the Bronco receiving "Raptor" treatment, its track would be almost as wide as the wheelbase was long (86:96 approx).
The potential for a tricked out Tremor Bronco seems more appealing personally.
It seems like Ford will debut the concept on the F-Series Superduty -- notably a solid axle platform, that due to size/weight is also not a great candidate for 'Raptor' treatment.
ALL-NEW 2020 F-SERIES SUPER DUTY DEBUTS ROCK-CRUSHING TREMOR FOR MOST CAPABLE OFF-ROAD SUPER DUTY EVER
Right, Bronco II's were nearly dimensionally identical to Gen one Broncos. Those begging for a "full size" Bronco are actually advocating Ford's cost cutting strategy in 1979 to use F-150 parts on the Bronco. Narrower and lighter makes huge sense for an off road vehicle. I'm not a huge Eco-boost fan (too many moving parts) but the 2.3 EB will have more power than the V-8's of old.

Nobody Is talking About A two Wheel Drive Or All Wheel Drive Bronco For The Everyday Driver Now You Can Feed The Masses Now You Can Upgrade The Trim Levels Without The Expense Of 4 Wheel Drive How About A Gladiator Fighter?
From the Ranger maybe. The Gladiator is as long as a limousine compared to what the Bronco will be like though. The test mules would suggest it will be shorter than the Wrangler Unlimited.
Yet, this still doesn't stop me from wanting a FSB or from talking about the possibilities of where it could fit into the lineup...
Would a 2-door Expedition work? That is the model that replaced the FSB when people decided they needed their SUVs to be able to transport a busload of people.
The Expedition has a fairly good tow rating in its current form, and that was one of the features you were looking for. It also has independent suspension for smooth road handling.
