I bet the hipsters would buy them up to be cool and retro.

I see camperized Mitsubishi Delicas alll the time around here, so I'm inclined to agree. Selling that ideal of living out in the wilderness to people who will actually drive them around the city.

And 100% of the hipsters.

That seems like a very small camper, and a very top heavy way of moving it around.

It's an interesting alternative to the roof-top tents usually employed with 4Runners and Wranglers.

If I wanted a camper to go with the Bronco, I think I'd go for a bumper pull pop-up. Or more likely, the camper and Bronco would both be behind a HD truck.

Kind of small to be practical. I guess it would be good for you and your significant other to go camping in.

I'm sure some aftermarket company will develop some camper aspects to it. I'd be very interested as I'd like to use my Bronco as what they now call "overlanding".
It all depends on how the roof comes off or opens up though. Id either put a rooftop tent on it or pull a trailer all depending on the roof configurations. A full blown camper Bronco is a bit of a bad paring because the wheelbase is a bit short but maybe with the four door model they could make a legit camper Bronco with.

Something like this is pretty damn awesome and would be the only reason Id get a four door Bronco.

That looks nice. Clean and functional, also. I can see why it would be appealing to lots of folks.

A Bronco could look really nice with a well-designed setup like that. But for me, it would detract too much from the operational capabilities of the truck - negatively impacting the areas in which it shines. With a trailer, you can drop it at camp and go exploring. Unless that shell has an easy detachment option with a portable stand, I don't see people leaving it at base camp.

I'm also wondering about weight, and where the spare tire goes. And I bet it costs more than half what the truck does. $60k Jeep and a $30k camper shell, you're getting into striking distance of Diesel 4x4 Sprinter prices.

We all want the Swiss Army knife of trucks - great at crawling, hauls a family of five and the dog in comfort with a seven ton trailer behind, drives on the road like a sports car, and gets 35mpg. But technology - whether OEM or aftermarket - isn't there yet. For now, it seems that any move towards one specialty results in a compromise in the others. If a camper system could be easily detached, I could see some use from it... but absent that, a trailer is by far a more practical choice for my needs.

Or I could just take the Excursion.
