Glass windows for soft top? (as an option, maybe?)
As has been mentioned, full digital dash (I get the analog speedo is a throwback to the past, but it makes no sense)
Keep android auto/carplay, I've never seen a factory do a better UX than google/apple are already doing.
V6 w/ manual transmission (coyote w/ a stiickshift as a pipe dream)

3. Fan adjustment that doesn’t take 5 seconds to change after toggling.
Any adjustments that happen when you turn a dial or toggle a switch, the audio sound is too slow to react too.
A true Base, like previously mentioned, but I think a Rattler version that is essentially a BaseManSquatch may show up... probably without the manual transmission and some CVT+hybrid maintenance and reliability nightmare.
You had me until CVT, it worked great on my moped in the 1970s, not so much on any car I want to enjoy driving.

Front axle stiffener.... stay with me here...
One of the cheif complaints from off road die hards (myself included) is a lack of solid front axle. I would think ford could engineer a mechanism similar to the sway bar disconnect to make the IFS off road like a solid axle. Forced articulation. Best of both worlds. Pipe dream, but hey, this is a wish list right?
Manual with the higher output motor would be fun too. I think the 6.8/7.3 would fit better than a coyote...

Full digital instrument panel that can be customized to owners preference. As in choice of gages to show and some choices on how they are displayed.

I think that is a realistic request.
Should have been included from the get go with this generation.

Jut drop the 2-door already. Put that effort into the model that people actually buy and is useful. Would also make it easier on the secondary market, hard to make money on something that doesn't crack the 20% take rate.

Those of us in this forum early enough remember the full digital display was going to be included on a Lux package (or maybe it was badlands/wildtrak trims?). Anyway, the digital display in the Bronco Raptor is what I imagined I was going to get before "covid" and "chip shortages" ruined that.

So if I were to buy this truck, right now, I'd surely love a Badlands with an upgraded steering rack and a 5.0 V8 with the digital display I was supposed to get back in '21.

So larger diameter wheels to fit those larger brakes right?
If necessary yes. Let’s face it these Broncos are driven in traffic 95% of the time. The brake dive is bad enough (understandable), but it’d be great to have more confidence in stopping distances at highway speeds. Maybe an option package.

Cruise control staying active pressing in the clutch is a good feature. My ‘20 Tacoma had that feature.

Mechanical parking brake, with the handle in a normal location.

A also hate the fact that the clutch does not deactivate the cruise control like on every other stick-shift Ford I have ever owned.
