Too bad the truck is the size of a school bus so the tires look like tiny stockers.
Bronco vs. Wrangler

Yeah, but it can haul a school bus too
And not even in the same market segment as the JT. Why not just get a Chevy Kodiak if you think size is what matters...
Most are in the same price-point. Different marked segment. Bronco is direct competition as Wrangler, Ranger is same as Gladiator. Show me a Ranger with factory 35's, and you have an argument... that is the same market segment. Just priced a Ranger with similar options as my JT, and it comes in at about the same price.

There is no argument. I can get a real truck with 35’s and a SFA. Even has a locker and you can get a factory winch.
The TFL guys compare them so we can too.

JT is a REAL truck, it's just a mid sized, like the ranger, canyon/colorado, etc...
STARTS at $59k... the price of an almost fully loaded JT.

No argument there. I spent many miles in HS behind the wheel of a 7.3L Super Duty on a farm, and was surprised where it would go off-road. I was always reminded of it's size though.

Not all trucks. The trucks I drove in HS for work were a 7.3 Super Duty F250 extended cab 4x4 and a 7.3 Super Duty F350 4door with a dually and flat bed. The dually was massive, but the difference is that today's trucks have zero visibility. You can't even see where the hood ends on the passenger side. It's no wonder most of their drivers can't even stay in their own lane or park the thing. I had no issue staying in my own lane with either of the 7.3 trucks with a gooseneck trailer.
That's fine - I just don't like cab and a half or double cab trucks. Almost all vehicles sold today have zero visibility in all directions - between the high belt line, tiny windows, sloping windshields, and - as you note - drop off hoods, you can't see the square root of eff all! So having introduced this poor vehicular design paradigm, the CarCos then throw a shit pile of expensive and unreliable technology to overcome the shortcomings they engineered into the vehicle in the first place!
Five star tuning made over 500 HP/500 lb ft out of the 2.7 ecoboost.
A 400+ HP/TQ Bronco should be easy.

Until you need to get your crew to the site and pull the trailer. I did always enjoy my single cabs though.
It is pretty impressive what they can do with the eco boost engines. They still sound awful though. Even with exhaust
