If you're havin' quality problems I feel bad for you, son. I got 99 problems but the Bronc ain't one.

only regret is that I didn't get the modular bumper. Build quality is excellent on mine. The panel gaps are all small and consistent, paint flawless, everything functions correctly (so far)...now if I can just get used to not slamming the doors!

I gave up the HD modular bumper to just get my Bronco (at the strong suggestion of my dealer, and I got scheduled within a week of doing so)

The "capable bumper" is everything but capable. Other than foglight offerings, there is nothing available for it. It's a bumper. Not sure why Ford even bothered with creating it vs, just putting the plastic bumper that is on the other models. I guess the fact that is is "mostly" metal is kind of a plus...

I really wanted the HD bumper and safari bar, but c'est la vie. I am just very happy that I have a Bronco at all given the folks on here that have been waiting since Day 1.

This just triggered another regret: I regret that I can't get wifey to stop slamming the doors like they were mounted on a 1 Ton Pickup. . .

There are a few things that are annoying. Like the stupid RPM display (vertical bar) on the dash.

Yeah, I sure wish Ford listened. Who came up with that crap?!?
Nobody in their right mind would make a tach display like that.
Annoying as hell for stick drivers, like me.
Time for a software update. Are you listening Ford?!?

I commute 100 miles a day, with Bay Area gas prices, this baby costs me $30 in fuel a day and I have NO RAGRETS. Love this car

So happy to hear you are loving your Bronco!

I wouldn't say I have any regrets. I've had mine about 6 weeks now. Are there a couple of annoyances, yes.

I would have much rather had a manual e-brake vs an electronic one. I also seem to turn on the lights from auto once a week with my knee. I kinda also wish there was some sort of front mudflap factor installed.

I had a Kia Soul before this. I think the overall road noise is better with the hard top on than it was.

Does anyone have regrets buying their Bronco? I def do. Love the cool factor but thats about it. Build quality is of the charts terrible.

NOT US! We are former Jeep (CJ5'ers); Family Cars usually a 'truck' of some sort Suburbans; PU's; Ford now.....our 2dr Base 2.3 stick provides fun, economy and durability. What else is there as far as we're concerned.....no other ego trip(s) needed??

 

[skidsteer]

Absolutely. They put a new motor in at 7k miles and now it's going back in the shop at 20k miles for a laundry list of bullshit including transfer case issues, not shifting out of 4A when changing modes, soft top coming apart, and numerous trim pieces rattling apart.

My bad for buying a first year vehicle. It won't happen again and I won't buy a Ford again.

Sorry u had issues! I (we) had issues with other cos.=chev/gmc/the late Olds/MG (Leyland).....never Ford. At least none(serious) that were not fixed ...

Bravo sir. Bravo.

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 bought a 21' F-150 and I concur with Farley and You. Build "quality" is atrocious......

 

[D Rock]

I have no regrets in buying the Bronco, though if I were to do it again, I would configure it slightly differently

Zero regrets here. Did Off Rodeo the September 2021 and immediately changed my built from WT to Badlands. Changed my top from hard to soft and got a build date not long after that. Took delivery Dec 17, 2021 and have been STOKED ever since. Travels well, is versatile, off-roads like a GOAT and is so comfortable.

Sorry you are having some regrets, go trick it out a little and make it yours!

I had a 09 Honda civic with 160k miles before I got my bronco. This is the first brand new car I've ever owned.

I waited 51 weeks for it from order to delivery for a 2 door base mansquatch, which sucked but was worth the wait.

The audio sucks and there was no factory option to make it not suck, other than that I'm very happy. I don't like the screen but I don't think they make cars without them anymore as back up cameras are required now days.

Is every person on this forums some rich moneybAgs? Cause I mean it's a brand new car and at least I've had no problems, although I only have 1.1k miles so far.

I have no regrets so far, I love it. Picked up a used 2022 WT in November while we wait for our 2023 WT (hopefully) to be built. I am looking forward to receiving the 2023 WT with HOSS 3.0.
