If you could get rid of one ownership headache, what would it be?

I don’t mind the wind noise, but hate the random snap, crackle, and pop mine makes when the temperatures drop.

LOL Those noises should only happen when you're enjoying some breakfast! Not while you're heading somewhere.

My only complaint is the lack of organized storage, but that’s easily overcome by different personalized accessories. Unfortunately, I’ve spent too much money on accessories that don’t end up working as well as I hoped.

I love the tech; from the locking diffs to the infotainment and digital cluster. Tech helped me make the purchase decision! I am shocked by the number of people that are wishing they had bought a 1995 Eddie Bauer edition…

When you get a good storage set up it's just....**chefs kiss**. Thoughtful organization is always evolving lol, when everything can have a home and easily accessible is a beautiful thing. I feel like I am not alone in watching hours of makers on youtube nerding-out about shop streamlining and organization.

All of that can be transferable to vehicle organization.

The MIC hardtop and all of the issues it brings with it.

We are first time American car owners and we thought we'd have a lot of gripes.
Even the E-Brake with the 7MT is now acceptable when I learned it automatically releases. I've had a lot of cars that where I thought the brake was off and I look at the gauge cluster and the light is lit because I needed an additional click downwards.
Even the dealership experiences have been good as my wife has enjoyed the pick-up-drop-off no touch servicing where she never sets foot within the service department.
In the first 20 months 50k miles of ownership I think it has less or similar complaints to our 5 Japanese cars/suvs we bought new.

We get it, Bronco's are awesome. But there is always one thing that prevents it from being absolutely perfect.


This could be a maintenance issue, a design detail, wear and tear on a specific area or a small everyday annoyance.


....We love knowing what annoys people lol

Blatantly incompetent & dishonest dealer service departments

This is really refreshing to hear, and always interesting to hear owners who come from other brands.

Sounds like Bronco has changed your opinion of American vehicles? Also, no touch servicing is so convenient and satisfying!

Wind noise!

Wind noise!

Hard or soft?
We didn't notice the wind until we switched to soft top for the first time. Even with it closed it went from no perceptible noise to mid 90s SUV noise.
There is a good chance once we go back to hard top that we will NEVER switch back to the soft top. Chicagoland "nice" weather is inconsistent and we do highway driving on almost every local trip, which is annoying with the top open.

It’s a hardtop and I also got the optional noise deadening headliner

We have that, but we have just standard off-roading options including the smallest tires. It is quieter than our 2012 XTerra Pro4X and my wife tests that all the time by always being on the phone on her commutes. It is by far the quietest of any SUV we've had.
