Why not just get this? Better in every way.

While I appreciate the aesthetics of a high belt line and "slit windows", I still prefer the functionality of the opposite. For example I personally prefer this:

Ford Bronco VISIBILITY SUCKS 1619100361724


To this:

Ford Bronco VISIBILITY SUCKS 1619100169498


The Bronco seems to be somewhere in between.

I notice the small mirror to dash distance on all vehicles I get into the first time, it creates a horrible blind spot. Fix: push the adjustment closest to the windshield all the way up then adjust to proper view using the adjustment gimbal near the mirror head, problem solved. My wife is 5'0" and this works for her also.

Ford felt obligated to put the "Ford Rise" behind the doors to give continuity with the F Series were the rise occurs in the door. On the 4 dr its behind the rear door, on the 2 dr behind the front (only) door. It's just a styling que and will only affect 2 dr rear seat passengers...and I'll never be there. ;)

All this. I'm surprised how many folks didn't think to do this when I've noticed it in various cars. It's almost like they don't want to push it towards the windshield out of fear of breaking it.

Sounds about the same on the JK too.
I've been driving my JK for 13 years now. I felt like the Bronco was better laid out and better visuals out of the front cabin. The back on the other hand is pretty short on visibility out of the far rear windows. That has to do with the increased tailgate and rear bed height of the Bronco. Over all, I like it.

I don't get why people get so butthurt when you don't love every single thing about the new Bronco.


Are people just so insecure today that they can't handle even slight criticisms of something they like?
Yes. The fanbois around here are pretty surprising. This is usually something you expect from pre-teens fighting over video game consoles and cell phones. Seeing it from grown ass men is absolutely hilarious.

Just sat in 2 at Walnut Creek Ford.

Visibility sucks.
There's maybe 6" between the dash and bottom of the rearview mirror.
Side and back windows feel small too.
Overall feels dark and small inside.


I'm still keeping my order.
Seriously dude if you're going to make up some BS at least be believable. If there was only 6" it wouldn't meet safety regulations. There are literally hundreds of walk-around and ride-along reviews on this site and its more than obvious its anything but small and dark.

Did you sit in one?
If you had a different experience, great for you.
I am sharing my experience. Please dont call me a liar.
.....Well see, I am sure with all the events happening, a photo of the actual dimension will be posted today or tomorrow. I'm sticking with the 6" claim.
Obviously its taller in the direct field of view for the driver - but the cluster of all things rear view does take up a good deal of width.
