It’s called a pinch weld. Here’s what I did on mine. I added Trail armor from the Ford accessories catalog.

AFTER:

That looks great.

I’m selling my 2017 4Runner for this Bronco, which I’ve waited for since having a Bronco in the mid-80’s. 4Runners are simple, great, and boring. Like a dependable, decent looking, church going spouse. A little league assistant coach dad. Nothing wrong with a 4Runner.

Bronco is that hot, kinda crazy chick. Worth it? That’s for you to decide.

I never thought of my 4 Runner as "refined" or "finessed". Reliable, yes. Do they still have a 4 speed automatic transmission?

I dunno if I'd want one that crazy

All 4runners have seat warmers standard

...noooot according to Toyota, they don't.
SR5 Premium and above.

yep got this bullshit going on mine too

I have never been in a 4-Runner (or Tacoma for that matter) that didn't feel cheap. I test drove one in the early 2000s and I couldn't get out of it fast enough. Dad had a maxed our 2014 that he bought brand new, wasn't super impressed.

They have (mostly) always looked cool and they are reliable, but refined is NOT how I would describe a 4-Runner.

Seems like maybe you should have bought a couple of new 4-Runners since you're so in love with them.......

Just go sell it for 20k over what you paid and buy a new Toyota.

Well they may at times feel cheap, I agree, but they are super refined cars, like everything works, some of the styling is extremely dated, when I first looked at a 4runner it looked dated even in 2016, then I bought one, its not cheap at all its super nice. I'll give you an example, take a look at the leather wrapped steering wheel of a 4runner vs the leather wrap on a Bronco, Ouch, yuck ewww ! That's grosss ! Toyota has amazing leather, the Cheap crap american version on the ford is some supplier they found that sold some dumb guy on the other side of a screen a version of cheap leather ! I like the bronco but it aint all that there are things about it I would run away from like the crooked bumper they put on my car !

You really have to consider what the Bronco is and what it was designed to do. It wasn't designed to compete with a 4-Runner or a Defender (cars that have 4x4), it was built to compete with a Wrangler (specialized offroad vehicle).

Should Ford have had some more premium options? I personally think yes.
Should they have done a better job with the hard top? Absolutely!
Was the rollout a dumpster fire? YES!

All of that being said, I really think they did a whole lot more right than they did wrong. Removable top, removable doors, replicable bumpers, factory option with a lift and 35" tires, retro Early Bronco styling,....

I am SUPER happy it didn't turn out to be like a 4-Runner!
