Fix the simple B & P items like the 10sp auto pricing and work into the rest. Update daily if needed. Maybe put up a live Bronco Specialist for a few days or expand the product FAQ section and refine answers as questions are asked.

The 10 speed auto is 1595 for the 2.3 but the engine is 0. The 10 speed for the 2.7 is 0 but the engine is 1895. It’s just using a different language. You are paying essentially the same either way. Except you get an engine upgrade for 300 bucks with the 2.7. I it’s also a way to influence your decision with having items that subconsciously you think are free.

Hitch and rear locker al a carte on Base

We must have been typing at same time. I agree 100%

Let me order my Black Hard Top and receive my Bronco on time with the Soft Top. Then deliver my Black Hard Top when it becomes available. I've settled on other things, just not willing to settle on the not so black MIC hardtop. (or put more color in the molded in color top and make it black)

1. White modular top
2. Soft top for 2 door
3. Black MIC top , fender flares, door handles, mirror, grill etc on the same vehicle - no mis-match of colors on trim pieces
4. A mini Sasquatch package - everything that the Sasquatch has, but with 33" tires.

Neutral seat option across WildTrack, First Editions. Grey or black. This would be a GAME CHANGER. It is also actually feasible, particularly black.

We have to aim for something actually doable this late in the game.

Thanks Nick. I know some of us, myself included, could all use a snickers, but some of it is justified. Without going into detail, I’ll repeat 2 things that can’t be brought up enough.

1)manual/mid - this was sprung on us hours before B&P, was never once discussed, mentioned or alluded to by Ford prior to b&p launch. Feels like a slide job to squeeze us either out of more money or to push us to the auto simply because there weren’t enough manuals built pre production. Come clean, don’t stick it to us on the back side.

2) Cold Weather group. If they won’t budge on mid/manual, at least give us this. Don’t make it feel like we’re buying a 40k base model. If your state you goal is competing with Jeep, at least realize that even as overpriced as Jeep is, they throw customers a bone and give them a few options to feel like they aren’t buying an overpriced base model.

Ok, so a little detail. Sorry, I’m still bitter.

I just want laj.tuxmek back.

More interior color choices from other trims (I will be changing my Wildtrak reservation solely on the one interior choice that looks horrible...Black, Very Light Tan and Camo..really?).
Light colored interior for those that will actually take the tops off (especially Badlands/FE).
Neutral accent colors and stitching.
Cold climate accessory package.
12" screen on Black Diamond.

@Nickp here was my attempt to get concise answers this morning, only a few followed the format, please modify and use as you wish, it would be nice to get a summary list of all issues so Ford could address them.

PLEASE READ THIS POST - Even though this thread is getting long

We have 37 pages of valid concerns on the interior design choices Ford has made, sure Jim Farley, @jimfarley98, responded on Twitter, but a few members asking for their specific wish list items does not serve the entire Bronco6g community. The only way we can do this is to get several concise lists of interior concerns and then present that list to Jim Farley for consideration. We do have a @jfarley98 member registered here that posted once and claimed to be Jim Farley, we hope that was actually him and not just not someone making a bogus account. If it is the real Jim Farley, once we have a concise list, we could ask him to respond to it here.

For example, several members say they need a Black interior on certain models. I planned to purchase the Badlands but will now wait to see what they do with the interior, I live in hot & humid Texas, black vinyl or leather (the only choice on Badlands) and black tops don't work here, unless you love sweating, at least with black cloth you stand a chance, but cloth is not available on the Badlands. Besides the heat & humidity issue, I personally don't like the look of black interiors, where are the lighter colors, tan and gray, for hot and humid states?

So you can see we all have our own preferences and what we really need is more of a collective community list, one that summarizes all concerns. Who has been following the ins and outs of this thread, model by model, that could start such a list? If there are several of you who know the issues, you could start by posting a summary, It needs to be concise and business like, following some reasonable order, such as:

Trim: Badlands
Area: Interior
Issue: Color
Recommendations: We need lighter colors, including cloth, such as Tan or Gray, for those that live in hot states or drive with the top off.

Trim: All
Area: Seats
Issue: Sweaty Seats in Hot & Humid States
Recommendations: Seats need Optional Perforation Holes and Cooling Fans

A standalone option of 17" alloy wheels with 33" A/T tires for the base.

Option of a rear locker for the base.

Option of fog lights on base.

Spot on. I'll add a grey or tan interior option for the cloth seats. I'm trying to make this as capable but inexpensive as possible. I'm retired, and can't afford to drop $40k+ on a vehicle. As it is, I'll probably have to take on a part-time job to have a decent down payment.

 

[foreWard]

1. A grey/tan/light colored interior option for BL or wildtrak.
2. B&O system stand alone option
3. x plan

And I'd be happy

 

[Nickp]

Alright, so I've added the poll guys. I have not added certain things, one example is the A la Carte interior tech options. This just really isn't something Ford does if you look at the F-150 lineup for example. If anything you have to do a "mid" or "high" package AND add the additional items like a 360 camera. The MIC top is pretty much finalized, and according to a few who have seen it in person it looks good. The painted hardtop will still be available down the line, if it's that big of a deal then it would just take a delay. I'm going to keep adding to the poll, so if you want to throw your weight behind something that's been posted make sure to let me know. And thank you all for keeping this thread constructive and mostly positive.

The one good thing this shows, Ford did get 99% of it right! And honestly, they got most of the options right as well, it seems like it's just the fine details. With this being a new product in a new segment for them, it makes sense that there are some challenges but hopefully this feedback is going to help a lot.

If I could get signature LEDs (front and rear) and standalone adaptive cruise (or even a Safe and Smart package a la the Mustang) on the Black Diamond I would be a happy camper.

 

[BlueBronco]

I think this a good idea. We all vote and come up with the top items and send an official letter to Ford signed by the Bronco6g community.

My top 3:
1. Lighter color seat options across all models
2. Complete list of all the accessories that have been modeled on the kitted out display rigs (ie, the trail, fishing, overland & Filson Broncos) and when/if they will be made available
3. Better communication from Ford including an explanation of MY2021 allocation
