Here's the all-new Bronco Buckin' A!

*I added the flareside bed of a 99-04 Lightning for the complaint department.

Think Ford really missed the mark with the E-Mustang . . . I’ve got ZERO experience in marketing/sales/etc., but they should have called that thing the “Galax-E” - - homage to an older family oriented Ford product without sullying the heritage of the Mustang.

The Galaxie needs to remain a boat.

Who the hell wants a 4 door Mustang.

Someone who drives a Challenger.

I don't think Ranger sales would be terribly affected. A Ranger can tow 7,500lb. However a Bronco only 3,500lb, due to the desire for enhanced articulation facilitated with soft coil springs. Surely the Bronco pickup will retain the rear coil spring suspension.

The Jeep Gladiator has a maximum towing capacity ranging from 4,500 to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped, with a maximum payload capacity up to 1,720 pounds. Capacities vary significantly by trim level, axle ratio, and package selection

The Bronco is no where near those numbers

Well if the Bronco pickup has a price tag of $60-70K it won’t be cutting into Ranger territory.

It wouldn't be cutting into F150 territory either as a Bronco pickup would have WAY less capability.

That's because of the Bronco's coilover rear suspension. Replace that with leaf springs and towing capacity will go up quite a bit.

And at that point is it really a Bronco then?

Towing capacity truths.

The original Bronco didn't have a coilover rear suspension. But then, it also didn't have 4 doors, GOAT modes, turbos, A/C, and a host of other things.

Interesting question, with the answer a matter of opinion.

No need to overthink this and no need to reinvent the wheel… I’m sure there’s someone out there smarter than me who can figure out how to incorporate removable doors and roof.

I have no dog in this fight (no longer have any need or want for a pickup and can no longer sit down in a mustang with my old back), “But” to me neither a bronco or mustang should have 4 doors…there are lots of other name’s available…ALL 4 door vehicles are utilitarian rather than “enthusiast“…they all make me throw up alittle when I see them…I hope I die (or at least need to stop driving) before my 2 door 2.7 bronco wears out…carry on!

The Gladiator does not have leaf springs, yet has a much higher tow rating than a Bronco. But if you look at the Wrangler tow rating, it is similar to a Bronco’s. There is no reason that a Bronco truck wouldn’t also have a higher tow rating in the 6-7,000+ range.

As was posted already, the Gladiator is a very niche vehicle, I am surprised that it is still being sold with how poorly sales have been, and I did own one before the Bronco. Anyone who asked about it was told the same thing; it isn’t a great Jeep, it isn’t a great truck, but it is the best Jeep truck! Folks that are buying them now are either trading in an older model for newer, want a Jeep but need a truck still (and are going to regret it), or are finding a great deal and buying it over a Wrangler that comparably equipped but costs more.
