Nope. Have a 17 Raptor crew that'll cover all my truck needs. If not for the Bronco I would be looking at the 22 Raptor . . . but I will be paying for the WT for the next 36 months so it'll be more like a 25 Raptor!

The Jeep Gladiator drives terribly as well.

It is unattractive to look at, expensive, space is sparce, small bed, and can't tow worth a damn. It is the epitome of a multi-useless vehicle.

Phew, glad I got that off my chest.
To be fair the max tow package is rated for more than the Ranger is, if not by much.

"I experienced more trailer anti-sway stability control intervention in a one-hour freeway drive behind the wheel of the Gladiator than I have in the entirety of my 12-year vehicle testing career. Every judge who trailered with a Gladiator experienced at least one near miss with an 18-wheeler when the trailer nearly jumped out of its lane and the Gladiator did nothing to stop it. Not a single judge ever wanted to trailer with a Gladiator again."

Yes but read the bottom- they were towing that 5200lb hardsided trailer without a WDH! Of course it was dangerous! They also admit down there that they didn't have that problem in thenfirst round of testing the year before - want to bet they were hooking it up safely the first time?

I don't really care that much to guess why or what caused the issue. Even without the trailer, they are terrible on the highway.

If I were spending $40-$60K on a truck, there are much, much better options. It is a solution to nobody's problem, IMO.

Apparently the Mojave with the softer front suspension has gone a long way to fixing the death wobble. Even so if you want highway manners then IFS is a much better option.

I’d rather Ford offer a basic roadster like this beauty.

I'd be happy if Ford would just offer that color - a real non-metallic blue.

I'm guessing door inserts similar to that will be available from the aftermarket. You won't be able to get the wide open roadster feel in the new Bronco but at least your noggin won't be a crush zone if you roll over.

It's missing a couple of key elements though. One should be very easy to fix given that it's now in the Bronco and would help it compete against the Taco and Gladiator.

The looks is subjective. I think they look funky with small wheels one them. But, so does every other off road oriented vehicle.

It’s the most spacious midsized truck, similar to the bronco, and matches or is best in class for towing and payload, within its class, depending on trim. The bed size is also comparable to other 4 door mid sized trucks. Certainly not useless.

The mid-sized truck class may not be your thing, but the Gladiator easily competes within this class. Plus you can take the top and doors off and I would argue it’s best off road option.

I tow a 6000lb trailer with mine without issue. Perfectly stable with a WTH and properly set up trailer.

The reason someone would want a bronco truck is because it’s fun. It’s awesome having a useful mid-sized truck that is also a convertible and goes anywhere.

I have been saying for years Ford needs to build a new Ranchero on the Mustang platform. Back seats in my 'Stang are useless anyway. A GT Ranchero with the 5.0 Coyote would rock.

How many would be interested in a half cab option instead of a gladiator style new model?
I purchased a Bronco First Edition July 12 build date. My wife seems to now be taking that from me. I can hear it in slight change in tone about the vehicle and I see where this is headed.
I really want the pick up version anyway. I hope they make this sooner than later. I will buy as soon as they are available to preorder.

I loved mine...

The old Bronco pickups looked good because they were visually proportional. All the new renderings either have too many doors or a bed that's too long.
