New owner: Love it But

[Mlawdawg]

Hey all,

Recently ought a 2026 60th Anniversary package in WW. Love the color, and it goes well with my '15 Mustang GT 50th LE in WW.

Couple of gripes though, which I think have been well documented here:

1. No HomeLink garage door opener in the visor. Come on man, everything has this now and Ford dropped it?

2. No Keyless entry wired option. How dumb is that? I had a 1990 T-Bird SC with that option. It's a good one. Removable doors is no real obstacle. And I love the keypad on my F150 Nav etc.

While the pillar mounted option looks nice, it has no replaceable battery, and I do not see anything that tells me how to take that thing off and replace with ANOTHER expensive unit when battery fails. Weak, Ford. Weak.

Otherwise, I love the Bronc., a/k/a Annie. She's a babe.

Good news for you is that if you are willing to shell out a few bucks for them, there are aftermarket solutions for both of these wish list items

 

[ThunderFlash]

Very nice and welcome! The Ford app on your phone can lock/unlock the doors, so maybe that can help with the keyless entry? There are a couple of small things with the Bronco that begged for improvement in my opinion. The aftermarket delivered for me on those (grab handles and interior lighting in my case). But overall, it's a freaking awesome truck. I hope you get to use it off road where it really pleases. Unfortunately, the 60th Anniversary ornamentation might be at risk. I know! Get a second "beater" Bronco to off road.....maybe even a 2-door!

Send it to the crusher.

I was expecting “no memory seats” for the gripe trifecta! ;-)

 

[Valhalla]

Mine has the garage door openers. Did they stop that? I guess the keyless entry negates the door pad.

This is the one that got me...

Wild that you need to pay up for power seats in 2025, even wilder that theres no memory for them. Had that back in 2013

After two months of ownership, I’d say I mostly miss memory seats and rear ventilation, although the latter has been addressed in the latest models.

My biggest complaints are that the 360 camera doesn’t automatically activate when maneuvering forward, and that the headlights take way too long to turn on when entering a tunnel.

 

[Headsong]

Lots to complain about. Right, the garage door opener should be on ALL models.

The double honk, yes, I know if I can find a friend with Forscan it can be killed.

Those miserable headlights, and yes, with $1000 I can fix that, too.

Do you have the Signature Headlights? I've seen multiple people take issue with the headlights, but mine seem pretty dang good.

Oh, need to clarify. NO, not the Signatures, which might be fine since they're LED's....I have the other ones that are near useless.

You can (and it sucks but is easy to do) purchase a factory visor with Homelink built in. My Raptor has the keypad, and I have seen posts where the battery is replaceable even though it says it’s not (though I haven’t needed to try it yet).

Both Ranger 5G and Transit forums document how to change battery. Not a secret and not difficult.

I've got a garage door opener option in my 2025 Badlands Mid-Package....

It is the removable type that can easily be slipped into a pocket or pack while out shopping or hiking.

But mine still didn't come with the manual parking brake. sigh........

Check on eBay, you might find a visor with Homelink.
