THE F'N WINDOWS

First my windows would catch when opening doors. After dealer adjustment they now whistle like crazy. On top of that the back windows automatically drop when trying to close them.

Most annoying feature? Today, the fact that I didn't break into the 5's on a 0-60 run. Only was able to pull a 6.4 0-60
Wind noise from the hard top even with the headliner installed from factory...

Weak standard 6 speakers sound system.
The sound system is easy to fix, just get a plugnplaykits harness and a Kicker Key 200.4 and it will be far more tolerable.

I know it’s minor but I must add this. I think the ford ergonomics engineers were sleeping on the job. The center console lid. Most cars you place you hand there and pull up with your fingers to open lid. Somehow they thought pushing back with you fingers was natural.
AND the non matching rear view mirrors! Ohh my ADD is kicking in
Most of my vehicles had a similar push in latch rather than the pull up latch, I guess since that's what was ingrained by muscle memory it's more ergonomic for me.

E brake location should be in the center console or be foot activated.

As if they had one feature for the new guy to design and they decided "oh look this spot is not used" lets place the one thing everyone uses every time you park to be in a obscure location away from the other controls...

I have learned that people close the doors to hard. You can pull or push the door shut inches from the latch. No reason to launch it.
I have learned the dance and roll routine with these windows how to open and close with minimum window rattle. Like the French it needs a massage before and after each use 😂

3. More wind noise than ANY Wrangler I ever owned.....

OMFG the GODDAMN wind noise. On a 10 minute test drive it's OK. On a 10 hour road trip it is NOT ok.
Stupid start stop. $99 to get rid of it.

if the car is running and you shut the door without leaving the key in the vehicle it does a loud double-honk. like starting it to let it warm up then going back into your house, or leaving it running (with a passenger) while you run into a store.

After a little over a year, the only thing that still gets on my nerves consistently is the Auto Start Stop.
2021-2023 Ford Bronco Autostop Eliminator is a great solution for this. It plugs in to the ASS switch module and simply remembers the state in which you previously left it. There are FORScan options for this, but it's not as clean.

I removed my Autostop Eliminator yesterday evening, as the Ford Performance Tune accomplishes the same, but it has served me well for over a year.

I think removing the two front panels of the hard top is a royal pain in the ass. I just cant get good at it and I always get a panel stuck or not lined up well enough to latch.

Should have got a soft top lol

Finally have one. Now I know what the OP meant when he said "Keep your hands on the steering wheel"

I actually like lane keeping features in modern cars, but it messaging to keep my hands on the wheel when they clearly are is really annoying.

Double honk is bad. I thought the GM triple honk was bad and it's probably still worse. Japanese and German cars seem to be able to have a different beep sound than the horn blaring.

Base speakers need replacing but I knew that would be the case.

Overall I do love it. MPG from Iowa to Texas in a Sas BD was 18.9 on 93 octane two fillups. Mostly highway 70-75 MPH. I reset the clock and have been trying to see what I can get out of Shell 87 octane locally and I'm above 21 MPG with very soft pedal and cruise control at 60 MPH to work. Mostly straight country roads.
It is annoying when the thing tracks so straight down the road that it thinks you fell asleep. what do they think this is, a jeep?
