4. A hard top that doesn’t suck
5. A soft top that doesn’t suck more than the hard top

Skipped several pages. Has anyone asked for side mirrors to be same shape and size? Even if same as lpassenger? Whoever designed non symmetrical mirrors last worked on AMC Pacer door glass

1) A recirculate button that stays on
2) Plastics that scratch less easily
3) Any coyote engine
4) Wireless charging that actually works well
5) Redesigned fenders
6) Better speakers
7) Full digital driver display
8) More axle choices
9) Better steering rack
10) Rear A/C vents
11) Factory cooled seats option
Re-design the FWD system (re: the front pinion seal leak - an obvious design flaw and failure of testing and quality control) - recall first and then incorporate into the new model year

I love my Bronco and am not interested in a refreshed model. That said, if I was in the market for a new refreshed model this is what I would want/expect:

#1 More hardtop options from the factory
#2 More robust steering on Sasquatch Models (sounds like this is addressed)
#3 Heavier towing package
#4 double honk gone
#5 an affordable V8 option, and not just in a limited trim (I know the DR has a v8.. I really think there will be a Bronco Raptor R with a V8, but it will be expensive just like the Wrangler 492. A v8 option in an f150 or any other truck does not cost much. Not sure why it does in a Wrangler!? Ford really could make Jeep look greedy if they went this route. Unfortunately I’d be shocked if this happened.

1. A hard top that will last as long as the vehicle. Roofs are an important feature.
2. Heating and air conditioning for rear seat passengers because they are human too.
3. A proper undercoating. Real horses are biodegradable, but my Bronco should not be.
4. If the sound system is still going to suck this bad just remove it completely.
5. 360 camera for all trim levels.

Mechanical parking brake, with the handle in a normal location.

A also hate the fact that the clutch does not deactivate the cruise control like on every other stick-shift Ford I have ever owned.
Oh! Yup. Center mounted mechanical parking brake. 100%.

Rear seats that recline more than 1 inch. Said plastics that scratch when you look at them.

I have a 2021 Bronco Outer Banks 2.7L with 62,000+ miles and climbing. This is my request:

1. Get rid of the "Keep both hands on the steering wheel" message when using lane keeping! Or at least give it a longer timer before the message pops up!!
Very odd. I have 22k miles with lane keeping and I’ve never seen this message and 95% of the time I drive with one hand. Mine is a MY22 if that matters.

A long wheelbase 2 door
-interior to include a ”bed” behind first row seats would b raised up 5 or 6 inches to accommodate a fold flat forward facing seat and a lockable storage drawer accessible when opening rear tailgate. When seat is in down position, floor is flat for sleeping or cargo.
-a unique feature of the model would be a scuff-proof rugged material on all surfaces including back of folding rear seat, walls of entire cargo area and cargo floor, this would give this model an almost pickup like utility when rear seat tumbled forward.
-the elongated roofline would look great and be an excellent platform for gear, tents, longer items etc…
-keep it simple and offer it on two trims,
-first a Black Diamond , standard rear locker, with steelies and slightly taller pizza cutters to give this trim a utilitarian, classic look.
-2nd trim a BD or Badlands Sasquatch build for those looking for more overlanding goodies and capability (or an Everglades type build w a factory winch)

**love to see someone render this!!!

Mine is also a true base 2022 manual with only aux switches and door bags as options. People always guess $40k, then when I tell them how much I really paid, they don't believe me.
Similar story here with my 2021 Big Bend. My wife hates driving it because she thinks she's being judged for driving some luxury car. I always remind her that we got the second lowest trim (at the time) and paid about the same as her Chevy Traverse. I'm with you, let people think what they will, I love what I got in my Big Bend.

By the way, this thread is cracking me up with all the complaints about this awesome vehicle. I took delivery of mine over 2 years ago and still excited to get behind the wheel every chance I get.

You can probably find a 1980 Bronco for cheap. Lol
HAHA! That would be better than a 1989, but still no thanks. Seems anything 1977 and older is cost prohibitive . I like the GEN6.

Why don't they just include it in one of the next 162 upcoming updates?
FORD, are you listening?

Same, I Have a 22 2 DR Base with M/T and it was a hell of a deal considering what it'd cost now to get into a 'base' Big Bend. Can't say I'd have a Bronco if I had to buy one at today's prices.
