Not a single one. My 22 Badlands is perfect. I love everything about it. It really is the perfect rig for me. Like someine stated earlier, I poured over all the info I could on this forum, and road testing one last year sealed the deal. I never wanted a car payment so bad before. I love driving it, even if it's to the corner store for milk.

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.
lol these posts.

Zero details provided just a big whiny adult posting on the internet.

I guess we can fill in blanks what “off the charts” means as rest of us have rock solid Broncos.

Oh well Happy New Years to you and your janky Bronco.

I wish I had got the modular bumper added to my Outer Banks High Package build. The aftermarket bumper prices are dumb expensive!

I have no tailgate noise and my hard top is acceptable for noise given it's a removable top. Sorry you ended up with those.
I've been lucky and maybe a bit proactive with the top noise and rear gate/glass noise. Shortly after delivery and a few times since I've liberally applied silicone to every rubber seal attached to the hard top, windows, windshield frame where the top contacts, and roof panels. I also have a theory that my OE roof rack stabilizes my 2 door's top a bit so it doesn't jiggle as much. For the rear gate/glass noise, I found that the main squeak was from where the glass meets the rubber bumpers when it's closed. A dab of grease at those contact points eliminated the noise. I do this regularly to stay ahead of the squeaks.

If you have the Bronco aftermarket fold-down rear gate table....the rattle fix for that is to slightly bend up the hook points for the latch so it adds more tension when the latch is closed, which removes the "slack" and prevents the rattle.

I fully agree that the build quality is not as it should be, but hey, the car is so much fun off-road and that’s what it was design for in the first place, right? I loved my Wildtrak and now the fun with Raptor is uncomparable.

You will have to go for the new Defender if you want better build quality and keep at least some off-road fun :) I don’t see anything else on the market…

Woah whoah easy now. Ford quality is right up there with Toyota/Lexus from what I’m hearing
You might want to check again =D

In terms of raw ranking, Ford hovers near industry average, falling within a standard deviation of the overall population. It is, however, two standard deviations away from the top 3 brands. Hardly a quality manufacturer, but I sure do have an AWESOME time with the Bronco - so it's a tradeoff.

  1. JD Power 2022 U.S. Dependability Study
  2. Consumer Reports, Who Makes the Most Reliable New Cars?

Here are the quick summary stats in case you're interested. Objectively, Ford vehicles have a 43% higher incidence (188) of reliability issues than Kia, the top-ranking manufacturer (145), and a 37.4% higher incidence of quality issues compared to an average of the top 5 brands (Kia, Buick, Hyundai, Genesis, Toyota; 150.6).

Of course, the data will be skewed by variations among models offered by each manufacturer, but what we're measuring here is quality resulting from overall design and manufacturing quality - so still a fair comparison, which puts Ford in a pretty weak spot (~45th percentile)

Don't get me wrong, I love my Bronco, but I only bought it because I will be keeping my Toyota Tacoma for a very long time, so if I do have issues with the Ford, it won't be the end of the world. I saw it as a calculated risk.

Haha, look at OP's post history. They haven't posted since Wednesday morning, but here everyone is prattling on. I wish the mods would can these garbage threads quicker - I have a feeling OP got exactly what they wanted.

No one cares poindexter. The ones who love the Bronco for exactly what is is don’t need to see this shit.

I don't have any buyers remorse at all. Sometimes i miss having my truck bed but this will suffice since i have a small trailer and access to a few others. The top, while closed, isn't quiet but i don't mind it at all. When the tops down i absolutely love it. Cheaper plastics i think could have been better especially in the lux like my Badlands is but other than that i have very little complaints. Maybe the upgraded B&O not being up to par with what i'd expect for the premium sound but i changed speakers 2 days after i took delivery so no big deal now. I can crank it all the way and the sound is crispy now :D

So annoying. Sometimes I think 12 year olds buy broncos from all the baby whining.

I LOVE mine and assume you love yours. They are great rides!

Took delivery of ‘22 4D OB SAS LUX in January ‘22. Mostly ok but I hate the subwoofer trim rattles in the back and the hard top makes a million popping noises from about every latch point. Also my rear window now leaks in the rain which sucks for any new car, regardless of price. Selling as soon as I can find an allocation for a Defender at MSRP.
