I have a 2022 7mt Badlands and I love it. It's a blast to drive anywhere. The crawl ratio is off the charts slow. Glacial in 4lo. The 2.3 is solid, plenty of power for me. I wanted the cool guy off-road gear with the manual, so it was a no brainer for me. But if you're looking for something to...
As mentioned before, when I can't trust it anymore. None of the above otherwise. I like to say my Bronco was built on a Wednesday(guess I could find the blend date). I haven't all had any issues aside from the typical bronco quirks like a m210 pinion seal leak and the getrag rattle.
I do like the variations of grays like that marsh gray. The carbonized gray was a nice one. Reminds of the beskar metal from the mandalorian. I would have ordered Antimatter blue if Ford had offered it for more than 3 months.
Velocity blue is the bees knees, but that ruby red is hot too. So dumb that we only have a few color options anymore. I did like the Cactus Gray though. Almost looked a tad blue or mint green in certain light.
Manual. I've only used a couple goat modes on pavement. Eco and baja (2wd) just to see. Eco with the 7mt feels weird. I don't like it. I'll switch to 4hi or lo, sway bar disco, or a hero switch if needed.
If my phone is plugged in, and I cycle the ignition, Android Auto doesn't automatically reload. I disconnect and reconnect the phone to enable Android Auto.
Very minor annoyance. 1st world problem really.
