23 Wildtrak, 19,000 miles, zero issues. Only "complaint" is the Sync 4 system will freeze and I have to do the "power button-fast forward" thing, which always resets it. Have not had the issue since latest update that removed the rocks-to-Bronco animation. Fingers crossed.

Besides the hot garbage Sync 4 and random wrench light in 4-lo that throws the engine in limp mode, mine has been solid for 32k miles.

New owner here. Bought a new Big Bend 2.3L, manual trans, soft top a couple weekends ago. Have put almost 500 miles on it (5 on the odo when I test drove it) so far and I love it! Everything works as it should. The engine is smooth, the trans is smooth, and carplay even stays connected to my iphone.

I lurked here on the forum for a month or so before I bought the Bronco and almost decided not to buy one due to the posts on this forum. I know folks are more likely to post when they have issues, but are any of you driving what has been a mostly issues free Bronco? It's hard to tell if the good ones outnumber the problems some times.

Here's a pic from our first weekend of driving around the Texas hill country backroads.

I take the tops and doors off regularly, ride for weeks on end topless , naked no issues . I love it. the only damage taken was a mis-judgement on my part at Hidden Falls ... rear quarter panel ... off it 2 hours back on in 3 after having repairs done.

We were one of the original reservation holders, it took over two years for our Bronco to arrive. We have absolutely loved our Bronco! I do all my own maintenance, oil changes etc. so the Bronco has not been back to the dealer for nearly 2 1/2 years! Finally took it in, had two minor recalls taken care of, also two seals that were leaking. Other than that the vehicle has performed exactly as we had hoped. Any minor issues I have been able to fix myself with the help of this forum. We have not babied the Bronco, we have taken it four wheeling, and extended road trips, including Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and California. I have 10 grandchildren, the first thing they want when they get their drivers permit is DRIVE THE BRONCO! It has been a fun tradition. Enjoy your Bronco, and go out and make some memories!

I’ve got 15k and 18 months on my Big Bend 4dr.,Sas with the V6 and mid pkg. I’ve had zero issues with mine, it’s never been back to any dealer and I plan to keep it that way. No lights, squeaks, rattles or shakes. I’ve noticed a lot of issues seem to be with more highly equipped Bronco’s with Lux pkg., and the various substance and cruise control nannies. So far I could not be happier and recommend Bronco, as a great vehicle with the caveat that a percentage of Ford dealers couldn’t fix a Schwinn let alone a complicated new vehicle.

I purchased my Big Bend, 2-Door, 2.3l, 7MT, non-SAS, Iconic Silver on 4-15-2023.
I've had zero problems except the sound deadening MIC Top headliner came loose after six months. I removed the MIC top and reapplied new headliner adhesive, (3M Headliner Adhesive) in my garage. No problems at all since. I did install a rear Hellwig stay bar for added stability and also updated the rear sub-woofer with a working amp and speaker. To date: 9,000mi. I like this Bronco, it’s mechanically sound and fun to drive.
