New 2023 Wildtrak leaning to one side

[da_jokker]

So this is ironic. Just a couple days ago I was standing in my driveway looking at the Bronco as I was walking back up towards the garage.... Swear it was leaning to the left a little bit. I busted out the tape measure and it was all within a 1/4 inch, and since there's probably no way that someone's going to eyeball 1/4" I figured it was either an optical illusion, or maybe the rear bumper was a little bit off.

By chance, which direction is the engine torque?

After looking at other threads about front to rear factory rake dimensions, I believe that the passenger rear might actually be high instead of the drivers rear being low. I’ve got 1.75” rake on the passenger side which seems to be more than most peoples front to rear rake. The general number most people have is 1.25” rake which is what I have on the driver’s side. My dealer said to bring it in and they‘re going to look at it.

That plastic flare looks to be riding low. Compare the mount location to a body crease.

I measured underneath from ground to frame and the same 1/2” difference is there also.

Suspecting you could make several measurements comparing left and right to determine what's different. Could even be something like location of the shock mount bracket on the axle. A half inch could be easy to find. Could be that the right side is actually higher.

3.0 or 2.0?

3.0. Didn't see yellow.

Correct, 1/2”

Dude that is a huge lean. I know that fix BTW. Send me your address and leave the keys and I’ll bring it back perfect.

Do you have a full tank of fuel?

Full tank, but it’s actually higher on the tank side

I noticed the same thing too on my new Badlands non-sas. The passenger side is lower by 0.75", as measured at the crash bars and the rear tow loops

This is what I was interested to hear. I wondered if there was anyone else out there with a similar situation. I’ve seen on Tundra forums that they just all tend to sag on one side. I wondered if Broncos were the same way and maybe a lot of people just don’t notice or if there are only some Broncos like this. I’ll be curious what my dealer says once I can get it in.

when mine was first delivered it had the same deal...took it in and dealer said everything was to spec. It eventually kind of leveled out on its own

Good to know, thanks for sharing

I just got my 2023 Bronco Wildtrak and I noticed from behind it looks like its lower/leaning towards the drivers side in the rear. First off the tire pressures are exactly the same, and the vehicle is completely empty inside. I measured all 4 corners from the ground in a perfectly level garage. The driver’s side rear is sure enough a 1/2” lower than the passenger side. The front corners are exactly the same. I initially thought maybe it had something to do with a full tank of fuel, but that’s on the passenger side. I did a quick search on this and couldn’t find anything similar. Does anyone else have this issue or is it normal?

Good afternoon. Could you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer so I can look into this lean concern for you? Thank you!
