I love my Bronco, I don't care what anyone else thinks!

It shouldn’t, but parts for mass produced cars from pedestrian brands are cheap and they fail, but they’re cheap to replace.I’m cool with the plastic but it should not break within three months.
You have a legitimate gripe and I agree with you. So do the auto journalists.Well, I open the door with my usual grin. Happy to be driving my bronco again and look down and on the carpet mat there it was.
I tried to place it back in, but noticed that the tiny little tabs that hold her in are broken.
glad I caught it before the wife did.
I concur!!!why I bought a base for $41k
What is wrong with the Maverick? I've haven't heard anything outside of the fuel tank recall.You have a legitimate gripe and I agree with you. So so the auto journalists.
The level of materials is below what one might expect for a $60k vehicle.
Farley himself (I know him) has been frustrated by the volume of warranty repairs owing to substandard design and parts quality (Maverick is a nightmare) that is eating deep into Ford's bottom line.
Not the mustang GT.. the GT GT. The one expensive enough that only 33 were sold last year.Base GT is 43K. Was looking to get one. Bought the Bronco instead.
Agreed re: quality issues which dwindle in every product, market and service these days.I am Ford guy I own two other Fords. One of them is a base model 2010 Ford escape XLS (base model) there are no broken parts in the interior. Love that car. Don’t plan on getting rid of it either. 4 others prior as well.
I bought the Bronco Wild track because I wanted a factory lift. I wanted the big wheels. I wanted to make sure that the wheels did not fall off like the guy on YouTube. I want to make sure that if parts come off my car, it was engineered by Ford and not put together with parts bought off the Internet. Besides, I do not have the time to modify my vehicle, and nobody touches my cars except me unless it’s a warranty item.
Wasn’t trying to start a sticky thread, but I am disappointed. I also broke a clip that holds the sensors on the bumper while I installing my hitch. Had to rig that up with tie wraps until I can get a replacement.
Just saying there are some quality issues that whether base model or a raptor should not have.
see link below.
Pics and a sound video pls!!!Random response, I am getting Ford Performance Dual Exhaust installed Friday...
My base was 28.5k.Good point, but I did not buy Lada of or a Yugo either.
I don't think the parts quality is bad in these Broncos. The choice of finish materials is a trade-off between form and function: for an interior to be washout ready, some compromises on materials need to be made.I am Ford guy I own two other Fords.

Except if farmers and ranchers were the only customers, the trucks would cost a lot more or wouldn't be made at all. Vehicles are expensive enough these days--it's hard for most people to justify spending a small fortune on a one-trick pony. They've got to be able to perform more than one function.Why do trucks cost so much? Because people who had no reason to buy a truck started buying them. They didn’t want the “ basic farmer’s special “, so the manufacturers started adding all the luxury items the urban cowpokes wanted or needed to convince their other half it was practical. Not to mention all the “ mandated or tossed in for for measure safety stuff”. Same goes for the Bronco. If farmers and ranchers were the main consumers the base model would reign supreme.
But it’s a Bronco ok
