I agree with you.No offense, but just seems Bronco is a bad fit for a lot of people. Hearing the cargo needs of many, it just seems a crew cab F150 fits the bill so much better. For dogs, guns and needing to haul 4 people more comfortably, this seems a less than optimal choice. Even in 4dr config, it seems more a fun 2 person runabout or short camping duration rig.
If was still hunting, or wanted to camp or overland for long durations, I would choose something else, that had more versatility. Even for me, its borderline impractical and I don't have kids at home or plan to overland or camp for more than a couple nights at most, infrequently.
There are a couple of things at play here:
This is a true SPORT Utility Vehicle. Even though it has a variety of uses, it is not specifically designed to be a family hauler, a large trailer hauler, a road tripping vehicle. It is meant to minimally check a lot of boxes but not optimize many of those uses...hence the utility value it provides.
The Bronco is a Sports car...which often means the "fun" is weighted greater the design than other aspects of use. If you think of the Bronco as a sports car instead of a replacement for your minivan, you will be much happier.
The bronco was designed to maximize fun. Top off, doors off, off road...all wrapped up in a package that can minimally meet your daily needs.
Many people here seem to over estimate the market for vehicles. If Ford thought a giant 2dr off road vehicle would be more marketable than the currently right-sized Bronco, they would have built it and launched this bloated vehicle. That isn't what happened though.
In the end, people need to accept the Bronco for what it is. Some people will be left outside the happiness bubble, and that is OK. It wasn't designed for you. Your needs require a more specialized vehicle that is not the Bronco.
