Things I worried about prior to getting my Bronco that I don’t worry about now

Worried that my tierods would snap on the way home from the dealership

Reading posts here, I was worried about being harassed like a movie star but I've had surprisingly little attention. One day doing 70 MPH my son in the back seat said "dad, this guy is trying to talk to you" and I look over and there's a guy in a truck beside us very energetically giving me thumbs up and head nods. That was cool but I'm glad that's been the extent of it.

A kid at the Chick Fil A drive thru said "really nice car". I never got that in my Honda Fit. Weird

Placed order Feb 2021 and worried that I might not get it in time to enjoy it in the summer with the roof and doors off. Ended up being two summers so far…

Same... ugh

I had a rental Bronco Sport a couple weeks ago in CO and things got awkward when the drive through kid saw the steering wheel and said "wow, you got the new Bronco!". It was very hard to match his enthusiasm but I said "heck yeah, it's awesome!"

You only have to worry about that if the car hasn’t sat outside for more than a few hours. Anything more than 5 hours and your bronco is destroyed by lot rot.

I was pissed that I was going to have a car payment. Haven't had one in like 10 years. I hate 1st run vehicles I feel like a guinea pig for Ford. And also all the pussy I would have to turn away from driving a sweet ass truck.

My daily driver for the last 10 years was a Pontiac G8 GT, 6.0L LS V8, suspension mods, slightly lowered. I loved the V8 torque, and the way that thing would stick through curves.

I figured the V6 in the Bronco would be weak, even with twin turbos, and the high center of gravity and 35" off-road tires would make handle like a pig.

Well, the V6 is not weak - it doesn't break the rears loose like the 6.0 does, - but it moves the heavy Bronco right down the road easy enough. It's not going to pull 1g through the corners, but it's a lot more stable than I thought it would be. Lots of nose dive under heavy braking, though.

I thought I would get it in a timely manner. Other than that, nothing.

I was worried about my Race Red Badlands having the orange interior accents.

Have a little over 5000 miles and it has never bothered me. Love the Race Red.

The thing that does bother me that I was not worried about was the lack of ventilated seats. I have had them in my last 3 vehicles and REALLY miss the in the Bronco. I have the top all the way down a lot. Ventilated seats would have really helped during the summertime.
