My only hope is that it gets Toyota to bring out another FJ. Now that was a well built and capable machine. I have had a Wrangler, FJ and now a Tacoma and I must say, for the type of off roading that I do, the FIS in the Tacoma and FJ made them much more comfortable in rocky terrain. The FJ was by far the best in the mud of the three and the Tacoma does the best at high speeds on washboard roads. I completely see the sold axle argument for a hardcore rock climber....but I don't spend much time on that terrain.

The solid front axle fans tend to overlook the rock crawling disadvantages.
As with the Taco, I’m sure there’ll be some burly AM CV axles for the bronco.

Those of us who want a SA are not their market. I get it. While not for me, I hope the Bronco does well and sparks some response from other manufacturers.

Sheeiot...I guess you've not noticed the proliferation of "Tactical Schools" based on the Thunder Ranch dude-ranch-for-combat-pistols model that Outside magazine made so famous in 1994? And that the hundredbillion dollar American firearms industry has grown by leaps and bounds bringing kids into the AR/plate carrier lifestyle? What's on your war belt, dude? Still hunting with a Fudd gun?
Thing about an AR is that it's modular, and infinitely customizable. The AR carbine is a platform for aftermarket gizmos and trinkets. That's what Ferd wants to do here, and it's a solid theory.

Ok. Talking IFS on a full on race rig for the hammers is a wee bit different. And to clarify I have a 71 bronco on 38s with solid axles that enjoy wheeling and working on. I also have a 89 4runner with ifs that has a long travel setup. It does pretty damn well but I'm still thinking about a SAS.
But who cares, I'm definitely not the #douchecanoe err I mean demographic they're targeting. I mean camping isn't near as cool or profitable as overlanding.
Also to the question of how many they would sell if it had a solid front axle? Idk but it seems like every other vehicle I see is a jeep Rubicon so who knows.

I think we may have come across some weird part of the Venn diagram where the mall-crawlers, lifted truck nutters and Instagram lifestyle enthusiasts may overlap.
It's gonna be EPIC.I still call it The Jake.

I have multiple rifles to choose from for hunting including a new suppressed 6.5 CM chassis bolt rifle but my favorites to hunt with are my grandpa's pre '64 M70 06. Second to that is my dad's M70 06. One I'm really looking forward to taking out is the 1903 06 with irons that I just inherited that was my great grandpa's. I don't carry unless I'm bowhunting and then it's either a .357 revolver or a .44 mag revolver depending on the situation. Call me old school. Thanks for asking. I hope I can gain your approval. Actually, I don't care if I gain your approval.
Not arguing that Ford wants to make money. I'm giving a perspective as a former EB owner that I don't like their new scene. I don't believe Ford will go broke if I don't buy a new Bronco.

2021 FORD BRONCO REVEAL
Serious,
This whole thread is ironic and epic.
We have seen the enemy and they are us, comes to mind.
I can hear the conversation around the fire drifting towards how approachable and maybe sessionable their hoppy IPA is and how it’s really healthier to ingest some salvia gummies to deal with their pain of being a former forest fire fighter while living above their parents detached garage apartment in aspen.
They are probably are having a spirited debate that if the bronco comes in a standard (which is now outsold by EV’s) , lowered about 2’ and then stretched and made in Europe it would be the perfect wagon also. In fact forget the bronco, just call it the ford all road diesel.
As they emerge from the fire fever dream they have visions of themselves in 20 years and it’s all of you.

If Ford didn't use the word "sessionable" in any of these ads it's going to hurt their credibility with Bronco Nation.

I don't doubt your sincerity in the least. I also grew up in a time when hunters and gunsmiths took military weapons and made them into pieces of art much much more suitable for fair chase hunting, instead of the opposite like they seem so driven to do now. The fucking world changes, it seems. At least mall ninjas recognize the "hypermasculine" values Carhartt markets to make their money, amirite?

I think I'd rather have a Jeep than any of their iterations, and I actually kinda hate Jeeps. I just hate Ford more. But at least Jeep has a billion aftermarket parts that you can rebuild anything you want. It'll take a long time for that kind of thing to get out for a Ford.
Betting on this going the way of the FJ in a few years. Of course a EV would be slightly more intriguing, but it'd still be a Ford, and probably have multiple recalls and fuck ups before they figure it out.
