I know this is a Toyota forum but still looking for opinions and see if anyone recommends the Bronco.
The Heritage is in Azure grey, white removable hard top, 2.7 335 hp/415 torque. Front locker, AWD mode, 35 inch tires, 12 inch screen but no heated steering wheel, fabric manual seats. The idea of the different sections of the roof coming off and doors is great where I live next to a beach we drive on.
In Canada the 4Runners are still mainly order in but found a black off-road. In Canada they come standard as a US premium but with dual zone climate.
I would put TRD Pro rims on, black it out and put the heritage grill on the front to start.
Leaning towards the Bronco for the fun factor.
Thoughts?

Any reason the Wrangler Unlimited isn't in the mix for you then?
I think it comes down to what you ultimately want. Bronco probably (that's likely bieng too generous) will not be as reliable as a 4Runner, but does have the daily driver advantages of IFS versus a Jeep Wrangler.
The 5th gen 4Runner is a freaking dinosaur though with a dog of a powertrain. There's a lot of things I like about it and I was happy enough to jump in November 2019 to an updated 5th gen (from my original 2016 Trail), but I'd definitely move onto something more modern at this point if I was going to replace it.
