parked next to a Bronco Sport today, can’t believe the Bronco Sport is bigger in size than my 4Runner.

That's a regular Bronco, not a Sport.

It is not. It is a 4-door Bronco Badlands trim with the Sasquatch package--which adds a lift, 33" tires, fender flares, and a bunch of other offroad goodies.

How in the hell do you all know this stuff.
That's why I keep coming back to Club Lexus. Lol

I was scratching my head thinking no way that was a Bronco Sport and second guessed myself, AGAIN. 😁 🍿

ha... i didn't know the trims like geko, but it was totally obvious that was the big real bronco with the round lights at the edges, and not the narrower and much smaller escape-based bronco sport with the squarish headlights.

had “heard” that the Bronco Sport and the Body On Frame Bronco where the same size …. So of course some could be mistaken

Sasquatch is easy, just look for the fat tires and fender flares. Then there are several grills that vary by trim, so I pulled up the range on ford's website and scrolled through until I found the one that matched.

All of the 2-door Broncos look good....much better, IMO, than the 4-door versions. And they are also more retro. I suspect, though, that with the tall height and short wheelbase on the 2-doors, one can expect some fore/aft porpoising-motions and a stiff ride.
