Drove/drive my previous ride (68 F100) 35 years. Rode in it with Grandpa 15 years before that.
My 4runner should last me the rest of my life. If not, the F100 will.
Not interested in anything new. The 4runner is a bit too "electrical" for me. But I like it.

Some people will buy cars based on capability and some will buy it on looks. The Bronco has the looks but at this point we have no clue about capability or reliability.
Let's look at what most people complain about the 4R - lighting, engine, transmission...
No surprise. The 4Runner has no DIRECT competitor. The last one was the Nissan Xterra. Now, that doesn't mean that people won't cross-shop nor does it mean that Toyota shouldn't make any changes to 4Runner. But most people don't buy the 4Runner because of what it can do off-road. If changes are to be made, it will be based on what most 4Runner owners want.
Right, and that is why the Bronco will sell as well - regardless of real capability.
For 2021, Toyota is "fixing" the lighting issue and the engine, transmission and mpg can't be resolved until the next model.
Taco is right, most people buy cars because they look "cool" and not how capable they are.
People are "buying" the Bronco already before they've seen one in person, driven one or have actually read a review by a non-Ford reviewer.
Let's see how many versions and options actually are available once the order books open.
For the intended purpose, the 4R is, most likely, better than the Wrangler as it is more reliable and, along with the 4R international variants and the LC, is the off-road king. The Wrangler might be able to go places that the 4R cant, but the two cars need to get there too on "regular" roads - and the 4R does that much better.
