We currently just throw our 4 mountain bikes in the back of our f-150... the plan is to replace the truck with the bronco. Has anybody have experience with a 4 bike rack of any sort? Good bad - manageability ?

Yakima and Thule make some really nice ones, and can add a swing out arm so the swing out if the way for the rear door. I am in the same place as you, coming from an F-150.
Depends on what kind of bikes you have, some carriers are better...and might be tight, but doable.
I still have little kids bikes, so I will have to out those right in the back for now, and have 2 bikes on the carrier.
I have an Allen 4 bike rack that was recently purchased for use on my Honda Pilot's receiver hitch. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, but it came with good ratings and was inexpensive (I paid $125 or so) and it includes no rattle mounting hardware. With the Bronco, I'll be adding the tow package & just buy an extension to mount bikes past the spare tireYakima and Thule make some really nice ones, and can add a swing out arm so the swing out if the way for the rear door.

i put a front hitch on my FJ40, and had a motorcycle "sled" on the front with my mtn bikes on a rear hitch bike carrier. +1 on front mounted hitches being awesome.One of the things I actually really like about my XJ is that I put a front Hitch on it. Use it for my wench or for my Bikes (I like them up front). I was actually hoping that the bumper on the Bronco had a Class 2 or 3 hitch hookup for the front but I down it.
Anyway +1 for just a standard hitch bike rack.
