So?
Which other mainstream manufacturer offers three enthusiast cars that normal Americans can afford? I’ll wait.

That is awful! I guess I’ve been lucky so far. My BL has been absolutely flawless with over one year and almost 20k miles (knocking on wood).Not that I’m interested in a 4Runner, but on your one point- “archaic infotainment system”- my badlands has had a black screen of death for 3 months and counting out of the 1 year I’ve owned it
I’d take archaic over completely non-functional at this point
I've owned my 4Runner for 11 years and it's never given me an issue. If Toyota wasn't so tight lipped on release date expectations I would probably hold out to see what they have to offer on the next generation. As it stands now, the rumors are that the next 4Runner isn't going to be released until 2025, that's just too long for me. There's a new rumor that they're going to release a US spec land cruiser made in the US and only for the US in 2023 or 2024.
To those that say the Bronco and 4Runner aren't in the same class, what world are you living in? They both are off-road oriented vehicles with IFS and solid rear axle. The Wrangler, Bronco and 4Runner are all competing for the same category of buyers.

Traded in a 2021 Power Wagon for a Bronco and haven't looked back. I still got my 99 Land Cruiser with 247k miles on it. While I love the long term reliability of the Land Cruiser, the Bronco is way more fun.
Does it come with a manual transmission?
Didn't think so.
So, not even a consideration.

It is getting to be disheartening. Basically for 25% of the life of my vehicle now, I’ve been driving in silence with a black screen and unable to use any of these cameras, or other features I’m paying for. And, Ford Canada does not know how to fix it- even though I’ve clearly read a million times on this forum, it’s likely the APIM. They’ve offered me a full refund, and I can order a new one. Priced that out, and a base model now is only $15 cheaper a month than my badlands- that has a whopping 9000 miles- dead screen for 1/4 of those miles.
As most said her, depends on your need. With three rows, maybe for our other car, but the key aspects of the Bronco for me were soft top and removable doors. It's my daily driver, but its also my "fun" car. If I was a one car dad I could see benefits of the 4runner as well as other cars but in my opinion Bronco/Wrangler are in a very specific niche class. I drop my top far more often than I go off road.

I don't know who has been designing Toyotas lately but they must have come from Nissan after interning at Kia.

I'm a huge Toyota and 4Runner fan, but their latest trucks have been a bit of a mess. The current gen Tacoma has been a dumpster fire from the start and Toyota has made almost no attempt to address it's many issues. Tacoma reliability has been rated poorly for years but they continue to cruise on the previous gens reputation. I've seen lots of serious issues with the new Tundra's as well. They let old products fester for too long and now they have to make quantum leaps to catch up to other manufacturers. That's not how Toyota was designed to operate.
Honestly, after waiting over 18 months with zero word on my Base, I was days away from ordering an Eruption Green Mustang.
Bronco competes with Mustang (2-door, stick shift), not a wheezy 4 door with an antiquated 5-speed auto (4Runner)
I have a 21 4R and a 2dr BadManSqatch, they don't compare.
Not in capability, performance, ride, handling, comfort, build quality. It's a mixed bag between them.
IMHO, they are in two different markets. Now if you were to maybe compare a non SAS OBX with a rear locker...
The one thing that really stands out is that with 15k on the 4R there is not a single squeak, rattle or clunk.
At 2k my Bronco can sound like there is a bunch of loose old nuts and bolts in it.
