Bronco build quality

[WarthogJr]

Have to ask…if you think the Bronco is such a cheap piece of shit, why did you spend $68k to buy it?

I was not saying I wanted any of those thing just that the build quality of what is there is cheap as shit plastic garbage i’ve driven Jeeps for 24 years so I’m used to the utilitarian simpleness, but it is of a superior quality compared to the bronco …. Especially at a $68,000 price tag. They need to step it up. I will Enjoy it for three years or four years if it doesn’t fall apart before then

I am curious. What kind of interior do you want in a 4wd SUV that is probably going to get dirty? Honestly. Do people want leather? Does high quality interior plastic exist? I'm genuinely curious.
What interior materials does Jeep use in the Wrangler? My buddy's 2018 JLUR seemed like it had basic plastic with red accents. Nothing seemed premium to me.

My dive suit seats are so cool, I think some more metal glass filed plastic and carbon fiber would bring a much more rugged and higher quality look. It’s not difficult and they know how to achieve they just don’t…lowest bidder 🫠

My last Jeep interior in the Mojave was metal and leather – stitched dash. super nice as were the quality all of the Control knobs, shifter and steering wheel…. I’m digging the bronco I just wish it was better quality

I realize this after spending a few weeks with it I will enjoy for now it i’ll dump it in two or three years if it lasts that long

I’ve got a 23 2 door Wildtrak, a 23 4 door Badlands and a 23 Gladiator Mojave and there is no doubt that the interior build quality of the Gladiator is far superior. The plastics are much more robust, the panels are more solidly attached. There are far less rattles in the gladiator and the leather is actually somewhat real. The 2.7 has more power, I gave the 4 door to my kid, I drive the 2 door as a daily currently. I like them all but none of the 3 are worth the price.

And if you ask why I bought them, you’ve got two answers to choose from:

1. I’m not known to make great decisions.

2. Why do you care?

I bought a $31K base and I feel like I stole it. I also own a 21 Wrangler Sahara and don’t feel it’s superior in any way regarding build quality’. All cars these days are plastic, some are just more expensive than others…….

 

[OCNORB1974]

Agree on all points. I just wish they would’ve put a little bit more quality in the interior instead of making it so Chincy. The Jeep just feels better built.

Then go buy a f'n Jeep!

Great story, can't wait to hear the end.

The truth is, if anyone took the very newest fully loaded top of the line Jeep and the very newest fully loaded top of the line Bronco (minus Raptor). The interior quality of the Jeep interior is definitely higher quality. Anyone that has experience with both and denies this is delusional.

Oh and I still like beer.

LMAO I have no idea what people expected. The Bronco was designed to be an offroad utility vehicle with some features. What makes it great is you don't have to worry about it, and vehicle resell is shit now anyways. I don't really care if it gets banged up.

I agree the plastics are shit, but personally I didn't expect luxury and also was really set on washout and mgv. I also got mine year one, so it was substantially cheaper and didn't go ham with the build. If I was looking for lux I would have stuck with Land Rover or something similar.
