Some of that can be attributed to (built in obsolesence). And it was much worse back in the 60s and 70s than it is today. Probably due to more foreign competition, including in the steel industry. I bought a new Chevy suburban in 1972 and within 2 years the rocker panels had rusted thru. I bought another new one in 77 and that was even worse. It even rusted thru above the rear side windows at the roof level. The salty winter roads in Pa didnt cause that, the care less attitude of GM did. At that point they were the worlds most profitable corporation, much of that no doubt as a result of selling replacement body parts made from junk.
But as for the new Bronco, i dont see how it can miss being very successful.
