I have the Chico Keyfit system (rear facing car seat that just clicks into the base in my truck, wife’s car, and the stroller.
I brought the car seat with me and it fit fine when I test drove a Bronco but I didn’t have the base with it and that eases is up closer to the top of the front seat which makes it worse.
Currently have an order in for a 4 door and the seat doesn’t fit well in my current vehicle (Tacoma with double cab), we currently have to move the front seat way up and it’s not comfortable. Assuming the Bronco won’t be as bad because the back seat has a better angle like most cars/SUVs.

Car seats fit in our Mustang Mach-E just fine. Granted we are short (5’8” and 5’6”). From what I can tell in the Bronco after sitting in one, car seats should be better than in the Taco.

I have 2 car seats in mine. One for my 3 yr old, one for my 2 yr old. There is plenty of space, my 2 yr old gets upset she can't kick the seat like my 3 yr old can.

Do you only have one child that needs the back seat? If so, you should install your base in the center of the bench.

Mounting your rear facing car seat in the center will free up a ton of space because the seat will be able to poke into the gap between the two front seats.

Same here. Front facing is behind driver and rear facing behind passenger. I take the rear facing seat in and out when not using it to free up space, and it doesn't get used much.
They both fit good, though my kid can kick the back of my seat a lot easier than in my F-150, but that's not a fair comparison...
Can't wait to be done with car seats...

Below is the link to a YouTube video of "The Car Mom" review of the Bronco, including a discussion on carseats:
