Bronco’s rear seat doesn’t fold flat and can’t be removed. Meanwhile, 2-door Wrangler seat can be folded, tumbled or removed completely. I don’t want Jeep to give that up.Yes, you make a long list of things where the Jeep is better than the Bronco. That's easy. But what about the areas where the Bronco is better? Will Jeep notice and improve our Wranglers to compete. After all, competition is good for everyone, right?
My list:
1) Vinyl floors with drains
Carpet is the dumbest damn thing ever put in a Jeep. It absolutely should not be standard in a Sport or Rubicon. I can see carpet standard in a 4-door Sahara or other luxury trims, but not a base model and not the off-road model. Carpet should be optional on Rubicons, Sports, and whatever the "beach" theme Jeep is called.
2) Marine grade vinyl seats
Same argument. Leather is great for the luxury models and should remain optional on a trims. Cloth sucks for both dog owners and off-roaders. A tough but nice-looking and easy-to-clean vinyl seat would be perfect.
3) Sasquatch available on 2-doors.
Ford said "yes" to their purists, and Jeep said "screw you guys". No Xtreme Recon for our purists and long time enthusiast. We don't get the good stuff.
4) Split rear seat (2-door)
The Bronco 2-door has split rear seats that fold independently and relatively flat. Much better design than the tumble bench seat in the Jeep.
What says you? In what ways can the new Bronco inspire improvements from Jeep?
I don’t want vinyl covering my floors, either. If you want vinyl, make it an option.
The only real novel idea that Bronco brought to the table is that the Sasquatch package can be had irrespective of trim. But Ford forces you to add so many options that getting the Sasquatch package becomes quite expensive in the end.
