Today was the day. Ill add to this post in the next few days. But here are my thoughts after the first 50 Miles. im not going to post 1000 pics because I feel like we’ve all seen everything. But let me know if there’s something you’d like to see and I’ll happily snap a pic and post.

SIZE - I don’t remember the numbers on paper - but it’s bigger than my wrangler I traded in for it. Way bigger.

RIDE- it rides 100x better than the wrangler (even with the Sasquatch packsge) no doubt. No question. Rides incredibly.

SEATS - I love the marine grade vinyl. I was under the impression they did not come with heated seats even with Lux (I feel like they said this in a bronco nation walk around???) but these seats are heated and will burn your ass. They get HOT - which is great. but. The seats are a little stiff.…. Not terrible. But I noticed it right away.

SOFT TOP- looks… fine.? Little droopy in a spot or two. Not terrible. Way quieter than the soft top in my wrangler. Like way way quieter.

BUILD QUALITY - inside and out - outstanding. interior is utilitarian but solid. And honestly I like the materials. This is coming from someone that’s had top of the line audis, bmws, Jaguars and teslas. And the quality in here is great. Materials are what they are and utilitarian for a reason - but. all put together very very well.

CLIMATE CONTROL - It is STRONG!1 like I wish that fan setting 1 was fan setting 3 because it needs settings below 1 - fan speed 1 is still really intense.

VISIBILITY - read some comments where people were disappointed. I get that I don’t think it’s terrible - but the windshield feels short and I feel like the rear view mirror takes up a lot of space in terms of field of view. I did find myself bobbing my head around to look around it.

Those are my thoughts after 50 miles. Let me know what else you want to see ‘ hear.

Quick update from day 2:

Still rides great. I’m respecting the break in period - but this thing is no slouch. Feels as fast as my Audi SQ5.

Also - top goes up / down much easier than the wrangler soft top. The fact that there’s only a latch on the driver side for getting it all the way down is super easy. And it rotates / guides itself down much more smoothly / elegantly than the wranglers top.

Very easy to get rear windows in / out.

That’s all. More to come.

Nice concise review. Maybe subject line is a little misleading. Might want to be more descriptive and instead of saying Jeep owner say Jeep JKU Wrangler owner as there is no comparison between the former JKs and the newer JLs. I've had both and the JL's soft top is a huge improvement in both ease of use and noise reduction when compared to the JK's soft top.
I am considering a Bronco myself so hearing opinions from fellow Jeepers is invaluable. Best of luck with your new ride. She sure is perty!

You can move the mirror up further than what's pictured. It will flush to the roof and provide a lot more visibility. Use both pivots on the mirror to achieve a better fit closer to the roof.
Ok. So. Yes. It is dual ball mounted? If that’s the best way to describe it? But. It’s still not the most movable thing in the world. Crappy video attached. Scratch that. It’s only a 15 second video but it says it’s too large for the sever to process. I’ll get back to you.

Any paint scuffs or exposed metal from paint rubbing off due to soft top contact?

I like that Ford is one of the few OEMs that provide a dual ball mount on the mirror for better visibility.

Just suggesting a possible better visibility solution for your Bronco.

However, if you just don't like it... I'll drop by later today and take it off your hands. ;) :devilish:

Yea, he can jump in from the back. I hang a blanket over the end so he won't claw the bumper. Bailey is an 80lb. bundle of joy. Tomorrow we will be off to the groomers for his summer fleecing.

So many possible responses. But. Keeping it G-rated. They heat my bottom and my back - a good ways up it seems.

Love it. My doodle Cooper is only about 45lbs and hasn’t managed to hop in on his own yet. It’s a bit too high for him.

Today was the day. Ill add to this post in the next few days. But here are my thoughts after the first 50 Miles. im not going to post 1000 pics because I feel like we’ve all seen everything. But let me know if there’s something you’d like to see and I’ll happily snap a pic and post.

SIZE - I don’t remember the numbers on paper - but it’s bigger than my wrangler I traded in for it. Way bigger.

RIDE- it rides 100x better than the wrangler (even with the Sasquatch packsge) no doubt. No question. Rides incredibly.

SEATS - I love the marine grade vinyl. I was under the impression they did not come with heated seats even with Lux (I feel like they said this in a bronco nation walk around???) but these seats are heated and will burn your ass. They get HOT - which is great. but. The seats are a little stiff.…. Not terrible. But I noticed it right away.

SOFT TOP- looks… fine.? Little droopy in a spot or two. Not terrible. Way quieter than the soft top in my wrangler. Like way way quieter.

BUILD QUALITY - inside and out - outstanding. interior is utilitarian but solid. And honestly I like the materials. This is coming from someone that’s had top of the line audis, bmws, Jaguars and teslas. And the quality in here is great. Materials are what they are and utilitarian for a reason - but. all put together very very well.

CLIMATE CONTROL - It is STRONG!1 like I wish that fan setting 1 was fan setting 3 because it needs settings below 1 - fan speed 1 is still really intense.

VISIBILITY - read some comments where people were disappointed. I get that I don’t think it’s terrible - but the windshield feels short and I feel like the rear view mirror takes up a lot of space in terms of field of view. I did find myself bobbing my head around to look around it.

Those are my thoughts after 50 miles. Let me know what else you want to see ‘ hear.

Quick update from day 2:

Still rides great. I’m respecting the break in period - but this thing is no slouch. Feels as fast as my Audi SQ5.

Also - top goes up / down much easier than the wrangler soft top. The fact that there’s only a latch on the driver side for getting it all the way down is super easy. And it rotates / guides itself down much more smoothly / elegantly than the wranglers top.

Very easy to get rear windows in / out.

That’s all. More to come.
