Check out the issues section. You may have to read through multiple posts, but the info is there.

Plus numerous fitment issues, electronic warning codes in the first weeks, goat mode issues, whistling mirrors, thin paint on certain areas, lack of quality control (missing sound deadening panels on completed vehicles), etc....
Still excited about the vehicle, but 1st year problems abundant...
Just switched by $54K Badlands Order to a $39K BaseSquatch order. The number of issues being brought up daily are very troubling. Ford just lost $15K from me.
I was going to pay ~$55K for this vehicle, but with all the first year/model issues coming to light with the top and electronics, I'm close to dropping down to a base or black diamond for MY21 and upgrading in a couple of years once Ford works all these kinks out.
Went to four area Ford dealerships to check out all the colors, saw this cyber orange Ranger and didn't look further. Color is gorgeous in person, not close to yellow at all to me.
Considering the Badlands Mini/Skinny Squatch:
1) Non-Sas Badlands 2.7 Auto
2) 305/70/17 or 285/75/17 tires - Both 33.8" vs. stock 32.8"
3) Small level
Using the equation in the video i get 4.59 as the "optimal gear ratio" vs 4.46 for Badlands auto. Seems like no re-gearing would necessary to...
Is it absolutely necessary to upgrade the gearing on a stock Badlands to run 34 or 35 in tires?
I rather go stock and upgrade tires and wheels separately, and add the ford performance lift when it becomes available. The 35" Goodyear MTs in the Sas package look boring compared to the other...
You can disconnect the sway bar on a squatched BD, just not automatically. So all you're missing functionality wise is the MT option and higher package options you mentioned. But you add on the 35in tires, Sport mode and whatever the suspension diff is with Squatch over Badlands.
It's close...
So many of the early orders trending towards the Badlands trim which is expected, but those builds will be a dime a dozen. A sasquatched Black Diamond will be just as capable and definitely more rare and unique...
Is there an advantage to getting your order in earlier in the Jan - March window? We have yet to see all the colors on pre-production Broncos (Velocity Blue) and new information on commodity restraints may emerge over the next couple of months.
The WBDO system sounds barely serviceable at best...
I just want to see one 2-door in VB, preferably Black Diamond or Outer Banks so I can see if it's too matchy with the blue stitching. Then I can put my debate to rest.
Hello everyone!
Longtime lurker, first time poster here at Bronco6G. I have been following the developments of the 2021 Bronco closely and I am excited to be submitting my order in the next couple of weeks hopefully for a MY21 (7/14 reservation with a couple of late availability options). I am...
