That would be so awesome. I miss my 1988 Bronco so much.
To redo the Bronco -- take a small SUV, remove the 2 rear doors, put a removable top on it and give it some real off-road capability. Add some creature comforts and decent tech, then place it directly in the Jeep Wrangler market segment.
Make it cheap and capable. No one needs another $50,000+ SUV. As cool as it would be to put a removable top on the back of a Raptor and call it a Bronco (another idea I saw bandied about), that won't sell. Make a Ford "jeep" out the door for $30k
