10 Things I Hate About The New Bronco

[GToddC5]

The E-brake better NOT be in the same position on the Bronco as it is on the Bronco Sport!!! I can foresee a Recall (listen up Ford) on that E-brake placement. Imagine where a little dog steps as it goes from driver to passenger seat or vice versa as you're driving....... Yep.....E-Brake engaged.....

I'm not trying to start a fight here, just genuinely curious by your statement. Why would any company recall an emergency brake, because people chose to drive around without properly and safely restraining their pets? Seems any interference with the vehicle controls by a loose pet would be the owner's fault. If someone gets in an accident and their loose pet gets killed rattling around the cabin or jettisoning out a window, is that also not the owner's fault?

I only have cats, and when I transport them they are caged and belted in. But I'm not an idiot, I'm fully aware of people with dogs running around the car, heads out of windows. I'm just saying, isn't that the risk of the owner?

Vents under the seat are useless to be because I fold all the rear seats down flat for my dog. Without a fixed roof, I don't see how they could have effective rear vents.

I'm the same way. My rear seats are either all the way down or at least half is down so my dogs can roam around and It's ready if I have to haul anything.

I could be wrong, but I was looking at a 2019 Jeep Wrangler TWO door... and they have tw big circular air vents in the back of the center console.... so, for Ford not to at least match that is yet another demerit.

Ford does have that. My Flex has them too, but they are blocked when I fold the seats down. I rely on the rear roof vents to keep my dog cool.

WOW, that is crazy! I have small dogs and they walk from seat to seat all the time. What a terrible location!

Had to laugh at the itty bitty rear wiper. To imagine some folks are freaking 'cuz they can't have one!!! OH MY WHAT WILL THEY DO????

It may be small, but I'm sure it will still rattle like the rest of them. Just a waste in my opinion.

Add me to the group that is buying a Bronco in spite of the removable roof. I honestly couldn't care less that it does come off. It would be a more capable overland rig candidate if one didn't have to work around the tops.

Its funny how you are all ignoring the comparison to Ford's own F150.

Or for that matter a $20k cheaper Bronco sport.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the value proposition. Off road capable and removable tops and doors. And in the $40k range this all makes sense.

But if you are going to charge me $55k for a truck with large swaths of hard plastic, then charge me $5k more and make the interior nicer.

Jeep does this. When you go for the higher trim levels with leather, most of the plastic is replaced with a combination of brushed aluminum and padded leather.

It’s funny how you’re ignoring that many don’t want to be charged $5k more for an irrelevancy.

I'd like to hear more about this Olds...maybe post it up in the showcase?

Couple pictures here, it's a fun car.

I'm with you on the antenna!

I actually did a double take when someone else mentioned the antenna. I was like no... that can't be right. I can't remember the last time I've seen a car with an antenna. And I've been legit looking, like actively trying to see cars with antennas, and the only ones I see are either. 1. Jeeps. 2. Cars built before like 2010.

No fight and no worries. I have been informed the Ford E-Brake works in the opposite manner as the Audi Q7 my wife drives. If you can talk her into crating the dog's when they get in the car you are a better negotiator then me. It's a Dog Owner thing.

I have been informed that is NOT an issue, even on the Bronco Sport. My wife drives an Audi Q7 though, and it IS an issue in her car.

So the two door bronco has them like the wrangler? Then what’s everyone talking about?
