I'm just over 2000 miles and agree with most of your review.
It is very large in person.
I enjoy the non-skid running boards, really helps my kids when they are getting out.
Flares are a non-issue (except when getting in and out of garage, haha).
I have had a few rough shifts with the transmission, but it is very smooth overall.
As far as rear view visibility, I took the third brake light off, it helps a little bit.
I don't mind not having folding mirrors, I haven't had an issue with them being in the way, yet.
I do love those leather seats. I wanted the washout floor though, and the MGV is nice.
I love my non-digital knobs!!!
The wireless charger is terrible, I stopped using it.
My steering wheel gets warm enough for me, there is a way to change the temperature in forscan, but I have not attempted that yet. I did get rid of the double honk and the lights always reverting back to auto headlamps on startup. The forscan codes to get rid of the do do do noise and chimes when turning on the Raptor do not work. They must be different than the other Broncos. The code to turn off auto start/stop also doesn't work.
Seat warmers are also very warm on the MGV.
Also still waiting for my full screen carplay upgrade.
I was very underwhelmed by the B&O, but I didn't have the rattle that many others have. I upgraded all of my speakers. Much better.
I took all of the mudflaps off, I like the look much more.
I had a two stage paint correction and 5 year ceramic coating applied. Makes the code orange pop that much more.
Get the front windows and windshield tinted. I had to take mine all off because of a terrible tint job and I hate not having it. I did 20% fronts and 35% windshield. It matched pretty well with the rear windows.
I have done a few simple other mods. There is definitely wind noise over 50mph. Mainly on passenger side like someone else said. I have had the whole top and doors off. Zero leaks in a heavy rainstorm. I have gotten plenty of stares, but no one has come to talk to me about it. I live in a rich, snobby county in Kansas, so no one cares about a $75k vehicle.
At 2000 miles I average 275-300 miles per tank, which is about what I averaged on my GT350.
I love surprising people who try to overtake me though. Not today, Toretto.
