Do we need a Bronco with more seats?

2023 Land Rover Defender 130 Quick Review :

Just buy a mini van

They used to be called Centurions.

They had 4 doors for more whores, and featured 3 rows of seats.

While I don't need a 4-door, I would love to see Ford expand their brand with another F150-based Bronco.

Broncos B4 'Ho's?

It looks kind of weird.

Reminds me of a Victorian matron wearing a big gown with a "bustle" (fabric pulled up in a round bunch) on her fat butt.

Just admit you're only getting it for haul people and by an Aerostar already.

Perfect for jumping the parking lot curb to drive over the grass to the soccer field to stay dry while you watch your kid play (or sit on the bench?) in the rain. But the weight of that thing...the tire depressions in the school's soggy lawn...groan...

If I remember my Aerostars correctly they came in AWD

Eh, I bought the Bronco because it has a stick shift, and I'm getting to old to climb into a car 3" off the ground.

I had three different 4x4 Expeditions they were plenty capable for any off road use I'd ever do. Need 3 rows and 4 wheel drive, buy an Expy, they are great trucks.

Bring the Everest to the US and change the look to be a little more Broncoish. Would be a good way to expand the Bronco brand. Which having the Bronco as a brand and not a model is what they have always been rumored to be doing.

Everest is Body on Frame built off a Ranger everything, it would compete against the 4Runner and has 3rd row and can be modified more for off road like the Ranger. I’d love to see it here. I’d give a hard look at trading our “Overland Build” Ranger for it and keeping the Bronco as well.

I agree. IMHO that’s what killed the previous line of Broncos. Ford kept making them bigger until they became a full size truck.

You'd be wrong. The F-150 based Broncos outsold the little Gen 1 Broncos by a huge margin. The 1st Broncos were not some beloved vehicle at the time. They were a niche vehicle that barely sold enough to be worth building. They were not like the Mustang which sold a half million in the first year.

My take on what this would look like.

I have been saying for a while the Everest would do well here. Competition in the BoF SUV market is pretty limited. There are many who want a go anywhere SUV but don't necessarily want a removable top and doors.

Yes.

Couple of seats out of an early '80s Subaru Brat . . .

Gen 1 Expys were the shit, taking on any F150 off road mods.

Remember when someone posted a picture of the everest and said it was rumored to be the new Bronco. I was simultaneously skeptical and heart broke all at the same time. There was no way Ford was gonna screw it up that kind of way. Lots of other ways, but not that way.

This looks great, I would buy this.

LOL I do remember that. Didn't believe it for a second.
