For those that have their Broncos, what's your biggest complaint?

[Rm20148]

I heard the Focals in a Bronco recently. They are nice, but they maybe be a little less efficient, they would be better with an amp IMO.

Yea i am trying to stay away from having to put in an amp - i may stick to the Infinity.

1) 2 door back seats are terrible, they are hard to fold, the front seats can't go all the way back when they do fold, I'm tall, my knees hit the steering column if the back seat is folded, and they don't fold flat. I'm ready to do a seat delete

2) the roof noise at highway speeds. hard top, no roof rack, and it's loud enough I can't have a conversation with the passenger

3) default modes that reset every time I start up (this is probably more a ford platform problem, than bronco specific) hate that it won't return to carplay or my last driving GOAT mode when I get in, have to remember to click OK right away to return to the last used GOAT and if I miss it I have to re-select, and every time I get in I have to tap the carplay button.

4) not enough storage up front

5) no lumbar support in the passenger seat

6) no grab handle on the A pillar for the passenger

7) small gas tank, last vehicle I had got me over 400 miles, I'm barely getting 300 now

Tires on the sasquatch throwing rocks, and no mud flaps available in the market, unless you want to spend $500...

Water dripping inside when opening the front doors.

Why buy the obx if it did not have the washout plug? That was my only question. For me it would be hard to pay $40k plus for something if I wanted a certain feature not available.

same as above it was a mannequin and had 9

Interesting on what you say about the blazer. That’s not what I have heard. If that was true I would think it would sell better. I’m glad you like it though.

As for the Bronco I wish it had the handbrake. Full screen car play maps. And that one did not have to sign up for FordPass just to make nav work. Love everything else!!

My tailgate and passenger doors have proximity working. It maybe that the connection is partially seated. Easy to access behind the panel and confirm wiring?!

your rear doors have proximity? The gate and two front doors work fine. The rear doors do not have the lock buttons so I assumed they also don’t have proximity.

IMO you can make a huge improvement on the system for about $200 and an hour of work. Just replacing the four 4" speakers and adding some baffles was enough to get it acceptable.

That said, I'm sure the above system would blow mine out of the water.

Replaced the 4" speakers, added base blockers and some sound insulation, what a difference!

Stereo is garbage. My rental corolla was much better. No manual e brake.

Forgot about the windshield. Already broke one.

Sorry. Rear doors don’t. I thought you were talking tailgate. My bad

Didn’t read all 18 pages, but the horn being on the driver side. Every time I get out with a key in my pocket that double honk tries to deafen me.

 

[Xcmtbrcr]

Like the work done! Did you detail the process on the sound improvement process?

As far as pictures and video - not my style unfortunately. If you want details and info I can provide.

One of my complaints is interior lighting sucks the two front map lights are useless, You can’t find a switch to turn on the lights for the rear in the dark it’s just a very poor set up

It's an SUV and there are no cup holders in the back. Seats 5 holds drinks for 2. Unless you get an upgraded trim? Since when is getting cup holders in the backseat an option??

The two door has cup holders in the back seat.

I got my build date today so I'm expecting to receive my Bronco in July, but I was wondering for those that already had theirs what your biggest issue with the Bronco is. I'm admittedly a filthy offroading casual (I got the BB/midpackage and it's really just going to be my daily driver with occasional offroading) but I was thinking about what mods (mostly interior) I wanted to go for

I got my build date today so I'm expecting to receive my Bronco in July, but I was wondering for those that already had theirs what your biggest issue with the Bronco is. I'm admittedly a filthy offroading casual (I got the BB/midpackage and it's really just going to be my daily driver with occasional offroading) but I was thinking about what mods (mostly interior) I wanted to go for

I have a 22 Badlands 4 door soft top, manual, Squatch, lux package.

I am very happy overall, ride, noise, gas mileage, features all better than my replaced wrangler.

The manual is good, but not silky smooth like I heard reviews about. That said, this isn't one of those sporty cars from my youth.

Lack of accessories to date. I ride doorless and topless for 5 months and had trouble getting some of the needed accessories to keep me dry.

The analog speedo is a waste, don't know why it is even there. Should have been a tach. I sometimes forget it is there. You have a mandatory digital display, why the analog?

The parking brake location, just doesn't make sense in the manual. It automatically goes off when starting, but annoying.

I am thinking the soft top will be be replaced. Sometimes the side windows pop off the track when opening the back. Jeep have them on that one.

Having to turn off the rear sensors every time I start because I have a bike rack on back.

Lack of cup holders in the back seat, marine grade vinyl.

The key fob is huge! I don't have anything else on it, it is just too big.

Oh, the overhang for the touchscreen(12") cuts off a quarter inch of the top of the screen for me. 6 foot.

This looks like a big list, but these are nitpicking things. Still love this thing and would not have gotten a different one.

Just got my Bronco on on Friday... so far my ONLY real complaint is that bar across the top of the tailgate on the soft top. I have read a lot on these forums and I can't believe I haven't heard this mentioned yet (especially in a thread like this )... unless I'm missing something(and I hope that I am) is that bar not removable? (specifically when the soft top rear window is out/removed). I understand it can be unlatched and moved 'up' a few inches but doesn't that seem like a major design flaw to not be able to remove it? It basically eliminates the tailgate, can't really put anything of size in or out easily and can't even sit on your tailgate? Please tell me I'm missing something and it comes right out?
