Only gripe which fortunately I haven't had to deal with off road and will be installing the bronc buster fixes next week is the weak steering rack and tie rods. No other complaints really Ford really did their homework on this one. The alternative is that Ford made a Bronco like the new Blazer so this rig is absolutely amazing.

I’ve had my 2.7 Black Diamond with 4A for a few weeks. 1000 miles in.

One of my biggest complaints in having the oem rubber floor mats with the wash out floor. When I’m getting in or out and I happen to kick off a certain way the driver mat pops off it’s place and slides forward. Annoying. I figure I’d fix it with some Velcro reinforcement or something soon.

my other complaint. And I don’t know if this is normalor not. But sometimes the bronco “kicks” when moving from a park or stop. Maybe it’s not normal and something is wrong with either a transmission mount or the trans. Not too sure. When I get a chance I’ll look under it. Doesn’t happen every time.

I have the Bronco kick as well. To me it seems she wants to be in a high idle state and when you take off it’s slow to lower the rpm’s.

The only minor complaint I have is the Soft top pannels. Getting them taken off isn't too difficult but putting them back on is a workout.

Don't have my Bronco, but when I test drove can absolutely echo the sentiment of the audio being severely lacking. When the Ford rep turned it on, I was like... how does my '06 Sierra have better audio than this? Yikes.

Interior lighting is pretty bad. That’s my only complaint. Oh, and people offering to buy her when I’m pumping gas.
Yes I agree with this too….for some reason ford was dead set on removing the center bar which definitely hurt lightning and speaker placement.

Bronco definitely has its warts. Not going to list them all, just the ones that really drive me crazy.

  • B&O system sucked - Fixed ☑
  • Windows - rattle, catch when opening and rattle, just a really bad design and or implementation - hours spent by dealer and me working on, better but still suck
  • Wind noise from hard top - stuff some crap in the gaps on panel gaskets and it helps
  • The longer i own it the more rattles and squeaks pop up - tired of looking for and fixing these - too many to list - buy some krytox lube
  • Interior lighting is non existent - not easy fix with lighting system Ford uses - good news is two different vendors have solutions coming soon........
Model yr 24/25 after mid-cycle refresh are going to get one hell of a SUV. We get the early adopter warts.
How did you fix the B&O system? Would love some ideas to improve on it.

The wipers don't go fast enough. Carplay is annoying and doesn't work in rural areas, so I have to use sync. I get completely and totally drenched when opening the door in the rain. Those are my complaints.
How is carplay affected by rural areas? That would be your phone's problem not carplay...

The base sound system is complete garbage.

That is my only complaint. I absolutely love my Bronco.

Main complaint is the windshield angle causing it to get super dirty every time I drive it. More prone to rock chips and cracks.

WIth storage being a challenge even with a 4-door I'm disappointed there aren't any roof rack options emerging for a soft-top. I'd love to be able to throw my topper onto the Bronco to get me where I want to go, let alone other options like roof top tent, etc.

Happens to me too when I back out of my garage. I kept thinking I was hitting something @Nicky107.
It came with a bracket that would have required the dealer to drill - I told them not to.
@Mitch - do you have the regular or HD Modular Bumper?
