Glad the Bronco is a truck and not a car/SUV....since it's largely a Ranger without a bed.
Hummm, guess putting the Bronco on the SUV pages of the Ford website is another of the so-called “rock star” programmers mistakes.

Had an IS250 with 150,000 miles and 9 years old. Received a letter from Lexus saying the engine could get build up inside cylinder walls and to bring it to the dealer and have checked. I week later Lexus installed a new engine in my vehicle with no charge. You can't beat Lexus service.I have a Lexus. They called me one day and said in certain climates and humidity and on an older cars, the door panels might feel a little tacky. If that happens, bring it in and they will replace it.
I took my car in for service and they pointed out that there was a very small piece of plastic in the headlight assembly. If you looked closely, it was a little wavy instead of it being flat. The dealer pointed it out to me and changed out both my headlights.
That's how you get a high score for service and reliability. But, of course, you pay for it!
Meg, they can call it what they want, and there is no bed. That said, it's a Ranger dressed up. It ain't no highlander!Hummm, guess putting the Bronco on the SUV pages of the Ford website is another of the so-called “rock star” programmers mistakes.
I am likewise somewhat anxious ... especially with this being a first model year that's loaded to the gills with electronics. Forty years ago I gave up my last domestic-brand vehicle (a 1972 Ford Pinto), and haven't had the guts to buy another since ... until now. I know most foreign-brand US-market vehicles are domestically built, so am sure (certainly hope) Fords have improved.This certainly makes me take pause. I have a reliable 6 year old Subaru wagon. I’ve debated just keeping it and adding a 1 1/2” lift plus all terrain tires since the only off roading I’ll be doing is at the beach. Laugh at CR all you want but for some of us jumping back into a domestic vehicle again is akin to getting back with your ex with whom you have serious trust issues.
I hear ya. I call it a truck or a rig. No way am I gonna say I drive a SUV.Meg, they can call it what they want, and there is no bed. That said, it's a Ranger dressed up. It ain't no highlander!
?I'm no spring chicken either, but that's one the dumbest comments I've heard about a new car .... you want it soooo bad you don't care if it wont get you down the road because it has a bronco badge on it !! OH Lordy!!
Yeah Ive had the sunroof misalignment, freezing door locks, freezing tailgate lock, hub actuator, 3.5 cam shaft/phasers, leaking oil pan, recall 3x for the block heater, oil pressure sensor and a slew of dash lights from PCM issues.My last two F150s (16/18) have been very good, other than the recalls I have not done (wiring on side airbags maybe?). Wife's 2016 Explorer has been the same to 50K miles, other than a couple of small safety recalls as well. I think a lot of it is luck of the draw. My 2011 Edge has been very good other than an intermittent no start in the very deep cold, starting at 105K miles and recurring twice, with no codes and no resolution. It's about 112K now and my daughter drives it. The rear camera died about 90k, two sets of front, one rear brakes, one exhaust pipe and two batteries. These forums amplify issues too. Rarely do people go on rants about how perfect their vehicle is, be it Ford, Jeep, whoever...
I completly understand you swearing off Ford after the Pinto fireball fiascos. A lot has changed since then but you still have to carefully consider the reliability of every brand and model. "Trust but verify", oh wait wrong quote, "study, consider and verify".I am likewise somewhat anxious ... especially with this being a first model year that's loaded to the gills with electronics.

My experience is that if competently designed and engineered, and not abused and properly maintained/repaired, any vehicle can run almost forever. My DD is a 1999 VW Passat wagon with "only" 175.k. that's still running strong. I hope to minimally get 20+.yrs. and >250.k. out of my new BL!
They have a 6 speed, same manufacturer.Do those 2.3’s have the same 7-spd manual? I thought I read somewhere this will be the first pairing. That kind of is in the back of my mind.
Not issues reported? Would I need to get an extended warranty to cover my butt.They have a 6 speed, same manufacturer.
