They have a "big" bronco. It'd be nice if they had a real "small" bronco.
While I love the Full Size Bronco (and may even end up owning one at some point), it is still a miss by Ford not to have a vehicle with roughly a 105" wheelbase and a width of 73" that is off road capable (ie: low range transfer case), a hard top and a body on frame design. A vehicle that would be geared at more the Overlanding crowd (where IFS isn't a big deal at all) and less towards the rock crawling crowd (where Ford marketing has to justify their IFS in nearly every promotional material).




Some size comparisons:

The Large Bronco (OJ's bronco) of 1992:
Wheelbase: 104.7", length: 183.6", Width 79.1"

New Bronco:
Wheelbase: 116.1", length: 190.5", Width: 79.3"

Those dimensions are going to be meaningful on technical terrain which the Bronco was designed to conquer. The 4-door Bronco is not a small car.

Even the two door vs. the Original:
Original
Wheelbase: 92", length: 151", Width: 68.5"
New bronco
Wheelbase: 100.4", length: 174.8", Width: 79.3"

To put that into perspective, the 2-door "small" Bronco is nearly as large as a Land Rover Discovery 1 (which has optional 7 seat seating)
Wheelbase: 100", length: 178.7", width: 70.6"
