Bronco is not a crossover. But what he doesn’t like are commodity vehicles like Escape that have to compete with 6 or 7 other vehicles with price wars. Things like Bronco Sport are totally different.
I find the 30 way seats very comfortable. It takes a while to get them adjusted correctly, but once you do, you can save them to memory. I love the door mounted seat controls. Sad they were eliminated on the 2025s.
There seems to be 2 row crossovers he likes, like the mach-e, bronco, and bronco sport, as well as things like the Nautilus. So I don't believe Fords walking away from 2 row crossovers entirely, I believe Fords just gonna reimagine them to make them more profitable and aspirational.
