I was really hoping it was going to be like the OJ bronco size but now I'm getting a F150.

So NOW you’re getting the F-150 sized vehicle you THOUGHT you were getting when you ordered your 2021 6G Bronco.
I guess you were 25 years late ordering your wished-for 5G OJ Bronco which was disco’d in ‘96.
But hey, at least now you’re getting the F-150 you always wanted.

The 6G Broncos are much bigger than people realize.

The oj bronco was in police evidence impound.
There's an ac bronco you've seen.
I doubt anyone ever saw the oj bronco.

Yup.
I'm that guy when I deal with THAT guy.

Am I the only one who likes wind and tire noise? It helps drown out the tinnitus which was probably at least partially cause by wind and tire noise.

Dude my wife's car sickness is cured because she says, "I feel a connection to the ground and the world around me. I don't feel carsick at all in this truck."
Every car before she was getting carsick at least a little bit.

That's comparing the 5g without mirrors to the 6g with mirrors. Typical AI. The actual 6g Badlands width is 76.3".

Also, the 2g-5g Broncos had a wider cab inside because they didn't have wheels offset beyond the body.

I figured that, but the point remains the same, the 5 and 6G Broncos are not all that different dimensionally.

Shoulder room:

1996 Ford Bronco: 64.9" (from Edmunds)
2026 Ford Bronco 2-door: 57.1"

That's a pretty significant difference, almost 8", in front-seat side-to-side roominess. That may have been the reason for the OP's complaint on that subject.

For the rest of the vehicle I don't disagree.

My wife got one in May 2025 big Bend
I asked her are you sure you are ok with basically everything the OP said.
She said yup,you should see the farm trucks we drove growing up,I want it.
After 3 months she raves about it all day,everyday
As for the recalls,she just ignores them.
Our kids are the coolest kids around driving around ina Bronco

Well I just cant take it any longer , Basically the bronco is not user friendly and it is just to dang small . No window frames on the doors leads to whistling on windy days , the window switches in the center console is just plain maddening , the two piece tailgate with spare tire is ridiculous and all the recalls are unbelievable . Off to Carmax .

Isn't anyone going to tell him this isn't an airport, you don't have to announce your departure? I always thought that was funny.
