Bronco's unexpected quirks. What'cha got!?

[MikeyFrog]

The back seat "cup holders" do not hold anything at all. They are shallow and everything falls and flips out of them. That is just dumb.



Now drive a truck on washboard roads. No contest. Trucks are so much louder.


I'm about to improve your world - It's the visor. In my Bronco, it's the passenger visor. It took me 2 months to figure it out, even with a helper trying to identify the source.



Happens to me sometimes, also

Did your visor not have the rubber piece attached to the rail to make it so it doesn't rattle? I have like a stopper it hits.

Hmm... I have a Pixel 4a and a work cell Pixel 3XL. Both rapid charge if I use the included Pixel USB C cable with no adapter. To be clear, it's the little port to the left of the regular USB rectangular port say the back of the center console tray under the dash. I checked it today and it's charging rapidly.

I wonder if there is a setting somewhere?

Samsung uses their own fast charge while pixels use the Qualcomm standard, so likely this why some don't get fast charge.

I don't know, I'll have to check.

Does anyone else’s center console pop when you put a little pressure on it with your arm/elbow? Kind of drives me nuts, so I tend to not put any weight on it.

Haha agreed! It’s not like it’s that serious and it’s totally the shortness of the window. I guess as long as you get your “Cali lean on” to see underneath them, they’re just fine. If I can’t think of anything else for my list, it’s a good problem to have.

Just think if you have your BYOD accessories rail Ford advertized your visibility would be at zero with all the stuff jeep owner put on their dash.

Complaint: Steering wheel controls, as others have pointed out. Strange placement of buttons compared to other vehicles I've owned.

Quirk: When washing the windshield, you have to bend the passenger side windshield wiper blade to clear the antenna.

I prefer the left steering wheel controls because it's the hand that is always on the wheel unlike my right hand that is usually on the shifter or the wife's tit.

It’s really dark inside the vehicle at night. I never thought about losing a roof light due to it being a convertible. Surprised they haven’t designed other lighting locations.

The ambient lights are off by default from the factory.

I haven't looked at an actual speedo in 3 years...
Digital all the way (and right in the middle!)

Exception being the digital vertical bar for the tachometer. A sweeping needle on a dial is much easier to read with just a glance.

The placement of the speedometer is terrible. It is almost completely blocked if you drive with your left hand in the 10 o'clock position. It also only has the speed listed in km, not km and miles like almost every other car sold in Canada since the mid-1970's.

I had that problem, but I found you can adjust the display and the speed moves left

ok its in the sync 4 menu on the dash.....there are also a couple videos out there. When I got my Bronco it did not have the ambient lighting turned on. I stumbled across it during set up and turned it on.

Thanks. I’ll take a look the next time my wife lets me drive my Bronco!!

Well, yeah the tach is something else. Lol
I glance at it on the highway and it's legible... Just weird

Don't you have a cabin light on the rear roll bar cross member? I accidently found that I had to turn it on with a button in the above console by the front row overhead light buttons.

When you posted this I thought that I had missed a button above the console, but it turns out that light is so useless that I didn’t even notice it was turning on when I pressed these buttons.

There's no light on the automatic shifter for what gear you are in. I know it shows on the dash when you shift, but I guess I'm old school and am used to looking down. With no dome light, the interior is very dark. Just need to get used to looking up.

Another one... The cowl vent for the HVAC. It's awfully susceptible to wind gusts. Whenever I hit a gust of wind, I hear it straight thru the inside vents

This was an issue in my Tacoma but it just happened from regular driving. Drove me nuts.

While driving with windows partially open, they’ll rattle a lot over bumps

Hood is very difficult to close, must be dropped from 50 feet up

apple CarPlay works 8/10 times

No one likes Auto stop/start

Storage area under climate control only fits one pencil

brakes are mushy

Brakes are mushy? Never driven a 5th gen 4Runner I see. Good Lord that thing was hard to brake and it nosedived like drunk college kid. Bronco brakes are a HUGE upgrade from that.
