PHOTOS side by side 96 Bronco vs 2021 size

[Tricky Dick]

Good pics. This is about the one and only thing I don't like about the new one, way too big.

We took the ‘96 Bronco to Supercel and got to pull it up next to a new pony to see the size side by side

Nice work! That was my first Bronco!

I've ordered one and all but: why the hell can't we get a full size option??

It’s coming, as long as these compacts and midsize don’t tank.

The second pic looks distorted somewhat. The 6G is not nearly as big as the 5G. Maybe outside tire to outside tire on the 6G Sassed is similar in measurement to the 5G but the interior is way smaller in the 6G.

Another side by side, but, with a 2 door non sas BD

Thanks for posting. Replacing my 95 Lightning with a 22 Bronco. Nice to see the size comparison as the Lightning and Bronco shared the same platform (well, close).

Keep the Lightning!

Maybe I am in the minority, but I dispise the size boom in trucks and SUVs in recent years. Take toyota for example. Each model (Rav-Sequoia) has become so bloated, it no longer resembles the original intent of the vehicle. The Highlander, once a smallish 5 seater, is now a bloated 7 seater with a 3rd seat. Same with the Nissan Pathfinder and other vehicles. I bought a Ford Transit because it suits my needs way better than a stupidly large truck that is $30k+, more bougie than utility, and requires me to have a step stool to get basic functionality from the truck bed.

The new Bronco is a true, capable, Sport Utility Vehicle (not just an SUV in name only). If you make the Bronco bloated again, you lose much of the sport and much of the utility...it is just a big ass vehicle...and there are plenty of options if that is what you want.

Cool. Not as wide but can still dunk with the rest of 'em.

I want to say the 6G is built more for off-roading. Narrower and shorter for the trails and rock-crawling.

Plus squeezing into tight parking spaces at the mall.

Agreed, but a lot of people have grown accustomed to a full size truck, especially the width. After driving full size for so long, many of those folks don't want to downsize.

I'm not saying a full-size option should replace the new version, I'm just asking for it to be offered. Get rid of the baby Bronco, and add a full size version.

Same reason I bought a Passport over the Pilot ... Everything has just gotten bigger and bigger and bigger. I am excited for the size of the Bronco. I don't need something the size of a regular cab short box F-150 on a Jeep trail.

You might have to accept the idea that the over-sized Bronco went extinct in the mid 1990's, and probably won't come back. The last thing we need are more objectionably large Suburbons-Sequoias etc on the road. Their purposes are severely limited but for those who can take advantage of the GVWR tax advantages.

The suburban and sequoia at this point are pointless, they have been turned into yuppie mobiles. The biggest thing the market lacks is an actual full-size SUV with off-road capability which the IRS suburban and sequoia lack.

My (old) full-size SUV has a payload rating of 2,200 lbs which can support things like bigger bumper, gear, winches, people, and anything else. Much needed when building overlanders. An area (payload) where the new Bronco lacks.
