As a wrangler owner...it's more like a wrangler is almost as aerodynamic as a tissue box or door.

And you think the Bronco is just going to slice through the wind?
I minored in physics and yes, yes I do.

In my Gladiator I can see the gpm change between having the doors and top on vs having them off. It is about 1 mpg difference. Worth it though.
Driving through a windy West Texas on the way to Arizona earlier this year almost throught I had a hole in the gas tank as often as I needed to stop for gas. Think I went from about 18mpg to about 10 mpg. Engine was working hard that trip.

Speaking of aerodynamics, I would like to see gas mileage estimates, mostly because terrible gas mileage is 1 of 2 reasons I haven't spung on a new wrangler, 2nd reason is the wrangler solid front axle rides like crap for the 95% of time I stay onroad

I was pretty impressed with the Gladiator's MPG. But then again I cam from a 4Runner. The Gladiator does better and it is a heavier vehicle that has a better payload and towing. The new Wrangler X4e looks really promising. If they make a Gladiator as a hybrid, I will probably sell mine and get it. Assuming it preforms as expected.

In an age where a Hyundai looks like a Civic which looks like a Beamer, I’m quite happy driving my cereal box. So few modern vehicles have any distinctive visual character. I couldn’t care less about aerodynamics and mpg.
