Maybe just me - first vehicle with electronic parking brake - but the mechanism works exactly the opposite as I would anticipate. I want to push to engage and pull to disengage.

I think the funniest quirk is the wipers hitting the antenna if you want to pull it up.
Biggest pet peeve so far is water running down the roof into the window/onto me when it's raining. This is usually trying to get my son in/out of his car seat.

If you bump it while in motion, you don't want it to engage on the highway.

Has anyone else noticed how difficult the hood is to close/lock? You really have to let that thing fall hard from at least 18" or it does not want to latch. Of course, that is only my experience with dealership demos since I am still waiting for delivery :(
Both my Mustang (99 & 2000) are like this. They both have props for the hood. 2001 F150 goes up on it own pretty much. Only problem getting it down is I need a step stool to reach top of the hood .

Unless I am mistaken you can't scan radio or tracks from steering wheel on base.
The arrow buttons(left and right) only change source and the forward back buttons change display on dash.
BTW has anyone peeled back the carpet on base to see if there is a plug in the floor.

I didn't read all the posts but the decision to put window controls on center console and door lock on doors. All doors are easily removable except tail gate. If you remove all the doors you have to have keyfob to lock and unlock tailgate. However your window controls are still there but connected to nothing. Funny quirk.

When they were copying things from the wrangler they got that too, apparently they thought us wrangler owners loved that lol.

Thats all for the back seats, right?

Would be nice to have a sunglass holder or at least some other built-in storage compartments up front. Going to 3D print some.
i have a sunglasses “taco holder” above the rear view mirror!

I got my Bronco last week. The app allows me to remote start, but my key fobs don't anymore. Every once in a while it will flash a light as it's trying, but it won't start from the fobs. They even blink red showing there's an error.
Tap the lock button first and then double tap the remote start button.

I had the exact same problem before I realized it was user error.

Same, it's the old foot pedal, pull a lever to unlatch the brake motion. I also constantly reach too far down when I do use it, I need better muscle memory.

My steering wheel controls cycle through presets, thats odd they change source for you. Curious if it's a base thing.

The window switches are so the power isn't live at the door plug. You hit water and it gets wet and shorts.
