New owner: Love it But

[Mlawdawg]

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........

Same type I have right now....

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

I started looking the other day but have been too busy. Looks like you can even buy news ones some places for not too much.

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

What about the more integrated looking one from Ford that goes over the B pillar--is that battery replaceable?

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!

I have an old TJ for beating about. I'll get this one dirty as well but now to the point of risking crushed metal.

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

I've had both, they are essentially the same main "lighting" unit, just different surrounds.
The biggest difference i noticed was how bright the dang turn signal is on the Signature lights!!! That shi-stuff reflected off of everything around!

I believe the headlights might be very finicky about how they are aimed because i have read loves and hates about both series.

Most of these things if not all are available in the Explorer or Expedition. Just saying.

THIS!!!!! modern headlights have a very specific aim point for the intensity of the blue (perceived as more white at night) light. Leveling lifting changing that stock aim point drastically changes where the intensity of light is. You can't see shit and you are probably blinding the shit out of oncoming traffic. Think HEEP for the last35 years.

I mean, if your tires are wide enough and your bumpers are too, you can get a hand in there, no scrappie scrapie!!

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.

Does anyone else still turn their headlights on and off the old-fashioned way?

Sorry, I know that's not the point of this thread, but I can't imagine driving in the dark without headlights on because they're supposed to turn on by themselves.

LOL, I've noticed that, too. Sometimes I notice the signals on reflective street signs in full on day light..

I don't have one. I don't want one. If it's Bronco specific I wouldn't know because I am new here and to my Bronco and still getting a handle on the model I own, When I understand mine maybe I'll start researching features I don't have for those who can't. Or won't.

Super helpful.
