[Alan22]

I'm sure this is a very beaten dead horse, but what have people gone with to upgrade their stock speakers.

Me too...Another one of those "wait and see" and be patient (for me anyway) things. I am sure Crutchfield is going to, or may already be, doing a deep dive into the Bronco sound system. Some of the members on here have replaced their speakers with a quality speaker and not gotten the results they were looking for. The rear speakers are ripe for a sweet upgrade that wont completely block your rear vision. I look for Kicker or someone like that to step up here.

decent mid range speakers IMO are easy to find, but if you're looking for bass and not losing trunk space under seat subwoofer enclosures are where its at. Which is what I'm more than likely gonna do.

I replaced the 4 inch speakers with Kicker CS4's. Included the boom mats as well. Will replace the 6.5's in the spring. Was so worth it as it sounds much better.

Infinity Reference 4"s in dash and rear pods, Infinity BassLink Mini in rear (concealed underneath home build leveling platform).

4" speakers: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_108R4032CM/Infinity-Reference-REF-4032cfx.html?tp=102

BassLink Mini: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_108BASSLMI/Infinity-BassLink-Mini.html?tp=114

The addition of those alone is lightyears ahead of the OEM system. I tried the 6.5 Infinity Reference in the kick panels and they just cant handle mid's despite all my best efforts. I've put sound dampening everywhere which helps specifically with audio but additionally for road noise.

Did you put the CS4s in the dash and the rear pods? With no amp? I’m thinking of doing the same.

JUST ordered a pair of Polk DB402's, 4" two ways (comes with properly sized caps).
And they're weather resistant.
Waiting for someone to figure out how to unlock the rear pods FFS!

Would you mind to elaborate what exactly are you using?

I'm Alpine sound fan, had them in the past and for me is by far one of the best.

I'll put the tweeters in the dash and 6.5s in the kick panels the the 4s in the pods. I may build my own pods and put a coaxial 6.5 in them. The sub is powered and puts out 20 watts per channel to the speakers. Has a built in equalizer that you access from a phone or laptop. I may end up running everything thru an audio control line converter if the pod speakers don't perk up with the alpine sub/amplifier. I've used Alpine since the early 80s and never had a bit of trouble.
