My wife always wanted a Bronco and we ended ordering one back in 2023. We love camping and our previous Santa Fe was OK off-road (better than I could've expected after we lifted it and put all terrain tires on it). We ordered the Bronco for it's capabilities, not for it family friendliness, so we knew what we were getting. However, we did want to make it as family friendly as possible, so here is what we did! (affiliate links below).
- We ordered a 2.3L 4Dr Badlands + MIC + Lux + Tow. Having the MGV and rubberized flooring/washout interior makes cleaning messes a breeze.
- Side steps: We are a bit vertically challenged, and the rock rail side step attachments were still a bit tall so we got these side steps. We still kept the rock rails for whenever we hit the trails. Nothing special here, but makes a big difference.

- Interior Lighting: one of the biggest annoyingness for us. A complete night/day difference! Now we can actually find stuff at night without having to use our phone flashlights

- Cup holders/storage: no rear cupholders (2023s with MGV did not have them) and the net storage is less useful than we thought.

- Grab handles: a must have regardless

- AC / Airflow: Under seat vent deflectors didn't do much, but we added additional fans that we are powering from the back 12V outlet. We used the center headrest to attach them.

- Baby monitoring system: We currently have a 2 year old and another baby coming, so we wanted a way to see both in a clean way (we hate seeing wires all over the place). This kit can be used with 1 or 2 cameras (split view), the cables are long enough (I ran all cables down the A pillar and hid them under the trim panels) and it's USB powered, so we can use the dash USB outlet.

- Cargo area: cargo liner and backseat covers are a must, keeps everything clean and make hiding cables easy
