Personally, I would be glad to see the Bronco produced with only two doors and solid axles. I'm just saying that from a business perspective it would be hard for Ford to justify either, especially considering that it will share it's chassis with the Ranger and that truck already uses IFS and is produced in three separate plants outside the US. I think it is fair to say that the only reason Ford is able to bring the Bronco back is because of the Ranger. Unfortunately, it will never sell in large enough numbers to justify it's own platform and manufacturing facility.
Also, while people claim that the Bronco needs to live up to its heritage they are apparently forgetting that from 1980 through 1996 the Bronco had IFS, which was actually a swing arm design that Ford called Twin Traction Beam. The Bronco II also used a smaller version of that design which it shared with the Ranger of that era. The only Broncos that used a solid front axle were the first and second generations.
