Which build quality specifically? I'm quite happy with the build, it's rugged and rough on the edges as was expected for an off road capable vehicle.

Not yet. Really been fun. Interior design is good but materials could be better…

Not even a single letter?

No regrets at all. Only problem I have had is the MGV was pulling away from the seat release on the driver's seat. My dealer ordered a new seat cover and replaced it. All is well. What problems are you having Joe?

The noise from the back meaning the tailgate noise, this is a known issue, the removable top noise meaning the front portion, this is a known issue, The manual trans noise which many have had the transmissions replaced which is a known issue, On top of that the CEO of Ford has come out and said quality terrible.

I was originally wild track but I changed from that to Badlands. I liked the vinyl seats and washout floor but I'm bummed I missed out on the HOSS 3.0 by going from WT to BL.

While not a huge deal the manual seat switch, with BL, despite having LUX was sort of a bummer. But also I've had electric seats before and I've also cursed those for being so slow. So I suppose that sort of cancels things out.

Also I think it's dumb BL doesn't have Sport mode. I plan on fixing that with FORScan but it's still dumb that I have to do it. Not really a regret but there are days where I wish I would have stuck with the WT.

But if I went with a WT I'd be bummed I didn't have vinyl seats and washout floor which came in handy today when I washed the truck out.

Regrets about getting a bronco and waiting nearly two years for it? Not at all.

Not a one. But some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope.

I guess I'm lucky as no rattles. Yes there is wind noise but I was prepared coming into it from prior convertibles and riding in buddies Jeeps. Unfortunately I think many buyers had never rode in a convertible or Jeep before buying. The materials are what I would expect of a vehicle most often delivered in the $40s. Don't get me wrong, Ford has screwed up plenty on this rollout, but the vehicle itself blows away my expectations for this market segment after owning for a year.

Are you experiencing all of those issues? Could you detail for us the specific issues you've had with your own Bronco's build quality? This is in effect a first generation product. Despite Ford marketing referring to it as a sixth generation Bronco, it's an entirely new product, and you should expect some design issues this early on.

I have no regrets about my Bronco, since I had this forum to comb through every time I found myself on the porcelain throne. Two years of reading through every scrap of information prepared me pretty well for what I might be getting into, but thankfully I've just had a couple paint chips from transport, and my door hinges had weird overspray, which my dealer had corrected (thanks, Riata Ford!)

I have read COUNTLESS issues with the Bronco and have experienced most of them. Are the issues with the lower trim levels?

I have been driving a Bronco since May and every time I get in it I feel like it’s day one, and it puts a smile on my face every time. I think it’s the perfect vehicle. If you have noises that you don’t care for, not sure what you were expecting it’s an off-road vehicle with removable tops and doors. Any new vehicle will have some quality issues that’s a given, they will work things out even more. Bronco isn’t for everybody but my only regret is I can only have one at a time
