Am I the only one annoyed by interior storage?

Is this issue exclusive to the bronco or is it consistent with the wrangler?
It's consistent with the Wrangler

Once again for those in the back, you can compare the Bronco to any vehicle you want, as long as it's a Wrangler.

Lack of storage in the center console has become somewhat common with the incorporation of wireless charging pads.

I traded in my volvo S60 for an XC90 a few months ago. They have an identical console layout, but the XC90 has a wireless charger in lieu of a storage cubby. So the area where I once put my wallet was lost to the wireless charging pad. it leaves you with 2 cupholders, and a useless coin tray. The Bronco is not that much different (actually slightly better). But typically, if you have two drinks, and want to charge your phone, you need to reshuffle your wallet/keys/gum, etc. Most vehicles have the shifter, two spots dedicated to cupholders, one storage area, and a coin tray. The wireless charging pad now robs one of those spaces.

Yeah the storage is definitely lacking.

Obvious Ford's approach was "hey... we'll just give you a bunch of MOLLE grid stuff and you can use it however you want". Which... eh... honestly is fine, though I do wish there was more.

The Lux package folks are definitely are short on storage, a lot of the space that is storage on the other package levels is occupied by the B&O speakers for those with the Lux package... including my favorite storage compartment in the back passenger side (which is occupied by the sub on Lux).
I'm not Lux and that little bin is very useful, they should have put one on the drivers side as well as I'm sure there's a void there too. I keep my tow bar adapters and a roll of TP in there.

I stuffed an army shovel, tow strap and top bags between the roll bar and window in the very rear. I can get to them no matter how much stuff I have in the cargo area.

There is a bunch of options you can add to give yourself some more storage in back and molle system.

My gripes are: cup holders... I have to use the kids carseat cup holders some times :LOL:, my knees hit the headlamp selector all the time, but that is more a personal issue I think, and I don't like how loose my vents are - I had to ditch my wireless phone charger clip because it just swung all over the place. I think a big thing Ford missed was cup holders in the doors... like they did in the Maverick.

Other than that, I've been loving every second in my Bronco. Also, it stops me from just stashing random crap in places, because I "have" the space.

I agree with you, I've definitely noticed the storage lacking. I don't like to mount my ezpass to my windshield and reaching in the center console every time I need to use it is horrible. I can't keep it where the phone charger is because that's where the phone goes!

Not enough cup holders and not enough storage. Here's another gripe, why does the center console door not stay up? It doesn't clip or click in the up position so you're always fighting with it biting at your arm while looking for stuff.

I’d love to know what uses there are for the Molle? I have a few in mind, but feel I am missing many more.

I love it! Less cubbies to squirrel things away means less junk in your car… less is more to me in this arena
Agreed. My Audi has a laughable amount of storage space, and only 1 regular sized cupholder. It makes it so it's always clean!
