Really interesting design review by Frank Stephenson on the new Ford Bronco. Ford really knocked it out of the park and can’t wait to see one in the wild!

Love his channel. And amazing design on the Bronco, Ford really hit a home run with this one.

Yeah, I'm curious what Jeep is going to do. I'm not big into the off-road genre, but this makes even the newest Wranglers look vastly outmoded.

I wish Stephenson would do more design review videos. I'd love his take on some of the recent incongruent designs, like the Lexus RX350.

They're definitely getting worried.. current dealer plans leaked out, and a lot of the points they make aren't really convincing enough in my opinion.

Yeah, Jeep's at a serious disadvantage. But it is the SUV of Texas. That seems critical.

I've impressed with the new Wrangler, but the Bronco just took things to an entirely new level.

He offhand mentions Toyota's lack of design coherence in every other video. In the video on concepts he spotted a Toyota design with even seeing a badge or logo because of how disjointed it was. Safe to say he's not a fan.

We would probably be looking to buy a new Bronco next year for the better half to drive.

But even the lux-street oriented trim (I believe it's the Outer Banks trim), with the V6 and A10 is only rated to tow 3500 lbs. Which is right at the limit for even small travel trailers like we've been looking at.

Likely end up with WK2 Grand Cherokee because I can't bring myself to pay the Toyota tax.
