When did ford start building a fullsize Bronco?
Don't think you can get more fullsize than then the current four door, it's 9" or so longer than the FSBs of yore and just as wide.

Some people seem to want a 2-door Expedition for some reason.

Dang, I legit dig it!


And? After test driving one it is a surprising nice little thing. If I wanted to replace my Spark with something else as a cheap DD I think this would fit in nicely... for what it is.
No, I have no issue with the Sport. That’s actually all most guys on here actually need and likely won’t even stress that little thing too much.

More looking at the spice that livery would do for the Bronco. That paint job on a 2 Door would be killer.

Ford was teasing it yesterday on Instagram and I got sucked in and even posted “better not be talking about the Sport”. They didn’t reply, but here it is. :)

Time changes your memory so this could be a case of the older I get the better it was...
I last drove our 96 about 9 years ago. To my memory, it was roomier inside, quieter on the road and more comfortable. We took many ten hour trips in that FSB.
It also got 12mpg in town, the auto front hubs were terrible and it cornered like a hippo on roller skates.

We love our Sport, it has been a great vehicle. Also the Sport has 2 more cubic feet of interior passenger volume than a hard top 4 door so it actually isn't that small.

I feel like they majorly missed the mark on the interior. Maybe it's just because I'm tired of black being the main options for both factory seats and seat covers, but when they posted the pictures of the original Free Wheeling seats in the green, red, and plaid I got really excited. The little bit of striping on a black seat was a disappointment.
With companies like Katzkins and Alea doing all these amazing things with seats, I don't know why Ford can't do the same.

Maybe ...

White wagon wheels, black Mod top with period correct interior and striping would be interesting!

I’m more interested in the “Black Appearance Package”, because we might be one step closer to getting this!
It’s a great color and look, love the Heritage grille. Just waiting for the AR DNA script badges to become available again. Loved the tri-color stripe on the 78-79. Our first Bronco was a 79 base copper colored 4spd with beige removable top.
