The rear portion is a little trickier, as it requires disconnecting a harness and washer-fluid tube and undoing a few bolts. It doesn't take much effort, although if you have a roof rack, you have to break out the tools to unscrew it first. For the front and center panels, just swing the latches out of their (very clearly marked) locked position and lift. I wouldn't recommend removing it without help, mostly to prevent any damage to the roof panels, but it's not a difficult process. The swinging rear door may present issues in a small garage, but I can open it a smidge and open the top-hinged upper half in a pinch. The cargo area is plenty massive, though, at 35.6 cubic feet for the hardtop Bronco that's better than the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and Land Rover Defender, but the Toyota 4Runner is the cargo king in this segment. Additionally, there's the glove compartment and the tray ahead of the cup holders, which on my tester includes a wireless device charger. What interior storage you do get is limited to the center armrest, which is deep enough for a medium-sized purse. Since all four doors are removable and on the thin side, there are no built-in pockets, just some cargo nets instead. The marine-grade vinyl on the seats seems like it will handle moisture without issue, and while it's not as plush as leather, it's still plenty comfortable.įrom a daily-driver livability standpoint, I'd like to see a little more storage in the cabin. That said, everything's put in a smart, easy-to-reach location, whether it's the inboard window switches or the differential disconnects atop the dashboard. The primary issue is materials - while I understand the desire to weatherproof the hell out of everything given its open-air nature, this Bronco costs $58,420 out the door including destination and has more plastic than my Volkswagen Golf. The interior is a little more hit-or-miss. Even in an unassuming color like silver, the Bronco can't help but stand out. It looks ready for adventure right off the bat, and after decades of staring at more or less the same Jeep Wrangler, it's a welcome addition to the mall-crawling cartel. It's big, it's blocky and - in my tester's Wildtrak Sasquatch trim - it's riding on some incredibly beefy all-terrain tires, with a fifth one slapped onto the rear cargo door. The Ford Bronco makes a hell of a first impression rolling down the street.
