2022 Wildtrak Owner Review

[gryphon1231]

Some people like to do that. Not everyone is a rock crawler or mall crawler.

It's not a rock crawling issue. Bigger tires, bigger gears, higher speeds equals more forces on the axles.

LOL!

100s if not thousands of vendors involved to build a vehicle

They would still building the same number of Bronco's.

Yeah, That was 2 years ago now, plenty of time to change their plans. They're a billion dollar company, they can adapt.

LMAO! You obviously have worked within a supply chain to a major manufacturer. Normally a break in the chain is at a single point and can be "fixed" relatively quickly. In this case the entire chain has issues. From the people digging the ore from the ground to the transportation companies delivering the finished vehicle. Compounding the issue is the government paying people not to work. Why work when you can get "free" money from the government. My company is part of the supply chain. We can't get people to work. It is that way across all aspects of manufacturing.

I don't think the reg bronco can handle 37s even with a better lift. Why do you think Ford swapped everything over to F150 Raptor running gear on the warthog?

And why do you think the 2022 Wildtrak now has an option for bigger shocks and stronger steering components?

Are you serious? There's a post on here almost everyday where someone threw 37s on the Bronco...

I am VERY VERY serious. 37s are fine for the street but there will be issues off road.

Again why do you think the warthog is running F150 Raptor running gear? Why do you think Ford added extra support to the spare? so many updates.

Nice review, thanks. I am coming from 3 Jeeps in my past too. I am looking forward to my new Wildtrak, if I ever get it.

Running 37s on the street is different than actually using it offroard. 37s can be added to any Bronco, but it is much more expensive and difficult to do it correctly.

All of the below is probably fair game to run 37s and have it be reliable off-road.:
- Shocks
- IFS geometry correction
- Axles
- Gears
- Wheels with proper offsets
- Fenders, pinch seams, rock rails trimming
- Spare Tire carrier
- tailgate reinforcement

Thanks! Love the Wildtrack!

I was referring to your why Ford is building a desert vehicle

I’m sitting here reading about a 2022 WT and I’m still waiting for mine 2021and I’m a day two order at 8:00am ford really don’t care about us early orders. They should stop making 2022 Broncos and concentrate on all the 2021 sitting in a lot . That would also help there bottom line . There’s a lot off money sitting there . I will see if I’m going to buy . Not sure any more.

Can you link me to that window calibration thread or gimme a quick rundown. It's the first im hearing of it and search did not return any results for "Window calibration"

 

[KirchTX]

you do know that when a car parks next to you and opens the door, the door hits the steps 1st. without steps, it hits your door. So steps protects from door dings

Depends on the shape of the door. If there’s any real curvature to the offending door it will impact higher up bypassing the step.

I am not sure the link, but it involves rolling you window all the way down and holding the button down for 5 seconds, then rolling it back up and holding it for 5 seconds.

Stimulus ended a long time ago. If companies are not able to hire it’s bc there’s better options for whoever is within the geographical footprint of any particular company. A lot of older Americans said screw it and retired leaving a void at the top that was filled in with younger people. Then at the bottom of the workforce there aren’t enough people to replace the ones that were able to move up. Simple math really. But it’s a story that sells advertising to blame whichever government a particular tribe doesn’t like.
