The price of these vehicles, is absolutely, ridiculous. We Americans have been manipulated to believe that car/truck/SUV pricing, is somehow acceptable. It is NOT. If we lock-down and refuse to buy en mass, the dealerships will be piled-up with brand-new vehicles, and no sales. Until Americans band together, we'll continue to pay DOUBLE for every new vehicle, no matter the brand or style.

Hard agree on reducing the trim and options. It's awesome Ford wanted to launch a bunch of different trim options, with each one having it's own unique features, but it's both confusing to the consumer AND makes production more difficult. It's too many parts they need to source to make the customer's build. They need to reduce and streamline so more people can get their trucks. Customer's are STILL waiting from 2020. That's INSANE! Now they've added the Heritage. Bro!!! Focus on what you've got before you start adding more options.

I appreciate the input. My only concern is when you start adding F-150 luxury truck features, Ford will inevitably make them part of a higher level trim package further aggravating the costs. It would be one thing if you could truly a le carte order these features but they always stuff them into a package that includes a few things you might want and few you don't need at all. We don't all make 400k/year Mitchell lol. Keep the Bronco affordable. A new F-150 is already ridiculously expensive.

Honestly, the one thing that I was praying to see in the release of the bronco, was the rear windows being able to roll down, like in the old bronco's and heck even in the 4runners. Back's of Car's don't have the best circulation, and my dogs go everywhere with me. so having a quick way to cool them down on a Hot Summer's day would be awesome. Also they slobber all over the window, so it'd help with that as well. Got anything for that at TC Custom's???

I've had mine since January. My biggest gripes (and they are VERY small gripes) are: 1.) By far and away the most disappointed in the sound system and completely unacceptable for a $60K car. NO low end whatsoever and muddy highs. Just awful. 2.) The weird way heated seats interact with remote start. If I remote start with my key fob, both heated seats come on full blast. But if I start it with the FordPass app, the drivers seat comes on Low and the Passenger seat does not come on at all. You can only set the seats to Auto or Off. You can't just say set driver to low and passenger to high or something like that. 3.) The rear camera is basically useless if it rains. 4.) The triple honk if you get out with the vehicle running. My old car would auto-lock 8 seconds after the last door was closed, UNLESS you left your keys in the car, in which case it would do a double honk. This TOTALLY made sense to me, to prevent my keys getting locked in the car. But honking when you get out with the keys in your pocket makes no sense. I've NEVER left my vehicle running indefinitely. I'm exiting with the vehicle running on purpose. I don't need you honking at me about it. 5.) As others have mentioned, the soft top dripping right over the spot where you need to get in the car.

A swing away spare tire would allow the back glass to be opened before the tailgate, it would also allow for a drop style tailgate. A drop down tailgate with a hatch over your head is great in the rain. - The other option would be a roll down rear window like the 2nd-4th gens, which could keep the tire on a swing out tailgate.

Lastly, I definitely agree with the rear pillar protection, I used some large samsung tablet screen protectors, they're clear and sticky and easily swapped out when/if they get scratched up...mine are still clear though, so no issues yet.

True, the adaptive cruise control sensor is blocked by custom winch front bumpers, but guess what else is? The front view camera of all things! BOTH the adaptive cruise control sensor and (more importantly) the front view camera need to be relocated. I also agree with your suggestion about having the snorkel as an OPTION rather than a part of any trim level. And if Ford ignores these points, they're going to pay in fewer Bronco sales.

A snorkel is put in place to allow a vehicle to ford through deep (usually up to about 60") water. The last thing you want when going into deep water, is for that water to get sucked into your air intake. Hence the snorkel is usually about roof height, or just slightly above. There is no way the snorkel is high enough to keep from breathing in sandy air if used when in the desert. The fact that it is pointed forward would make what you said even less so, as it would allow even more sand into the air intake, possibly clogging up your air filter. Some people would probably argue that it is a type of forced air intake, which in turn helps your engine, due to it facing forward like it does. Most of the snorkels I saw while in the Marines did not face a particular direction. It was merely a tube that came up and had a solid flat cap, with about 2" tall wire mesh between the cap and the tube, which made it look like a mushroom. We could ford up to 60" of water in our Humvees. I only got into water about 36", but it sure was fun!

@9823bubba 9 ай бұрын

literally my entire thought was here. Coming from desert racing and first hand experience of being behind someone in the desert the last thing you want is an open airway for dirt and silt to easily enter the engine. most of out air filters have a prefilter or a sock covering it to prevent as much dust and dirt as possible

I hate the double honk on exiting cab with key. Love the ford pass app but had to give up the remote start since mine is manual trans. I really dislike the design of the back window as well. It would have been great to have a power window back there. Even though everyone talks about how light the rear portion of the top is, I find it pretty dang heavy however I do love my hardtop. Other than these small things it’s an amazing vehicle and I love it. The wait is finally over and the Ford Bronco is back.

I do a lot of long road trips, and a hybrid would be great! Don't want purely electric as you never know if you can find a charge in the desert. The gas mileage is horrific :( Also, a little too much plastic that begins to rattle after going off-roading a few times. I'd expect it to be a little better quality in the cabin for the price. As for design, I absolutely love it. Nothing looks better than a Bronco, especially in Area 51 paint. Oh, and when you fold down the rear seats, make them level to the cargo area so someone can sleep in the back if you are on road trips. There is a weird like 2-3" rise where the seats fold down. You have to add some kind of padding to sleep back there.

I agree with your comments but I have a couple of things to add. 1. Make the rear window zip or fold on the soft top so that you can put bigger things into the rear. The prop rod idea is a complete failure. 2. On the soft top there is a low point right after the fiberglass piece on the front. It creates a perfect channel to pour water into your Bronco when it's raining on both sides and gets you soaking wet trying to get in and out of the vehicle. Horrible design.

There just some things they could do much better. One thing I truly don't understand, is not having the rear glass open separately, NOT even offered as an option (and they could now allow us to buy afterwards, I would). Imagine soccer mom picking up the boys from soccer practice and stopping at the grocery to pick something up for dinner on the way home. Return to car has to lift/open the whole rear gate to put in groceries. There goes 12 soccer ball across the parking lot! Now luckily she has 4 boys in the Edge to go chase them down, but gee, wouldn't it be great just to open the window to put in those groceries.? Obviously someone at Ford making decisions has NO imagination.

Great vid! Thanks for posting it! 2:40 That's a great suggestion. I'm surprised they don't have that bar foamed up like on the Wrangler. 4:50 Some food for thought on ACC. I owned a Ford Escape before my Wrangler 4XE and it worked great. The Wrangler has the sensor up further and it's not nearly as good as the Escape on any objective level. It doesn't change lanes half as well, and it's terrible and slow at judging other vehicle speeds. It's enough of a difference that I would not get the ACC package if I did it all over again. Maybe it's a different reason than the sensor position, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ford found the same kind of issues. Pro Power Onboard: Dude, if THAT is frustrating, my 4XE doesn't even give you access to the 17Kwh battery like that(though they supposedly will next year). They have a pathetic inverter rated at 150W(that couldn't fire up a 40W device I had), and it's going to the 12V battery. An insane missed opportunity for a lifestyle vehicle like this. 13:30 Wranglers are the same way. Considering the way it still has to open and seal, I don't see how this can change. But I'm no engineer. :)

Hinging the spare tire mount to the side of the Bronco might work depending on side frame work, which could then open up the back door as an actual tail gate if need be, which could work towards the rear electrical outlet & for camping also.

The upgraded front differential or the ability to up grade it on the Base. My only real complaint since the sasquatch isn't an option at the moment.

@pagah9 Жыл бұрын

Rear AC vents and better sound system would be cool... I have the upgraded sound on mine but it doesn't sound premium

Great video. So many great suggestions and wish they wee at least options. I also agree with others on the towing capacity. Currently looking for a trailer but do feel a bit limited in comparison to other manufacturers. I love my 4dr badlands with sasquatch but my number 1 complaint are the rear left and right soft top windows and how they sag. I hate the way they look. Have considered switching to a Trek top but don't want to lose the space in the back as it's already limited.

Ford needs to put the luxury in luxury package. I have the 2 door Outer Banks with Lux package and there are no grab handles, No electric seats, no seat presets, no heated rear seats, no A/C seats, no rear seat A/C controls and a mediocre B&O Stereo. The engine bay looks like a high school project but that is another problem. A Luxury vehicle with a sticker over $60,000 should have most of these features. I still love my Bronco but disappointed at some of the shortcuts Ford is taking.

Not sure if this issue can be fixed, but my biggest complaint has to be the rear blind spot with the soft top down. Putting the roof all the way down (without completely removing it) is such a large obstruction, you simply cannot see behind you with your center mirror. I used to move 53’ foot trailers, so I know how to be reliant on just my side view mirrors, but I worry about other drivers, especially the ones without blind spot monitors.

I would imagine Bluecruise is coming to the Raptor lineup soon based on the number of raptors we've spotted in Nor-Cal with what look like self driving cameras/sensors mounted on them

@scottvannederynen6429 Жыл бұрын

You hit so many of my desires. 1) BlueCruise, 2) Ventilated Seats, 3) Smarter placement of Sensors. I, for one, will be shopping for a vehicle with BlueCruise 1.2, or a competitor's alternative, for my next vehicle. I'm a school bus driver by trade, getting older and taking more road trips. Automation means safety and comfort on long highway journeys. More vehicles mean the technology matures and is more accepted by people faster. My wife was uncertain about the adaptive cruise control and lane centering at first. I know she will be the same about hands-free. I understand there is probably an issue with tuning BlueCruise to the vehicles dynamics, supply chain issues, and the ever-present legal implications of more vehicles means more risk. For the skies, the limit wishes. Vehicle personalization. Settings (such as drive modes, seat positioning, etc.) based on the key fob and, therefore, the driver. Vehicle Navigation with Artificial Intelligence (AI) so it learns how I like to drive and the roads I like to take. Expand vehicle sensors to include lidar or similar technology that can see better through rain, snow and fog.

Thank you for raising your Bronco improvement points and sharing your video. These Bronco issues are a game-changer for me, and unfortunately, not in a good way. Guess I will wait for the new Lexus GX 550 or Toyota Land Cruiser coming out within a year or two and reevaluate the Bronco then.

@JenniferLangwell 9 ай бұрын

I wish the Land Cruiser would have a removable top. They went "retro" with the looks of both vehicles, and it would have been really cool to see at least the Toyota in a topless option.

I ordered a 23 Bronco Sasquatch and actually had my dealership salesperson help me order it! I wanted the Sasquatch with the hard top, v6 and hot chili pepper red with the obx interior. I was understanding that the Sasquatch package all came with sway bar disconnect ….(which they do not.) My salesman said to get leather with the obx interior I had to get the outer banks level with Sasquatch package…i tried a couple other trim packages but it deleted some of the options I wanted …so I went with the outer banks Sasquatch …love the Bronco other than not getting the sway bar disconnect (even tho I probably won’t ever need it…just cool to have I suppose). I agree the trim levels need to be reduced without so many options but being able to get every option available in every level.

Found out pricing online is not real. They added $5-$10 on the regular Broncos for shipping, docking and other fees at certain places. I would really love a 2022.

i have had my 2022 4 door Bronco Badlands/sasquatch soft top, high package a year now. love it for the most part, had a few minor issues/recalls that had to be fixed. agree with a lot you are saying. only a few complaints and that would be, the soft top......that back propping up the back window doesn't raise far at all, useless and when raised it can pop out the side windows from their tracks???? i do love how easy it is to take up and down though. second, i wish my 400 watt plug was in the back instead of in front of my back seats. my F150 has it in the bed...much easier access. thirdly, when it rains and i roll my window down, the rain pours in on my interior door, ugh! maybe that just happens on a soft top? fourth: my tires throw the rocks. i replaced my rock sliders with heavy side rails/slider combo. it has helped greatly. the biggest complaint i have with Ford is the hard top issue!! so many people had to change their orders for the original roll out to a soft top if they wanted to get one...then Ford introduces more trims????? raptor, everglades etc..., and they came with hard tops! i say anyone that ordered an original Bronco that had to settle for a soft top should have been offered a hard top at a discount! i won't even get started on dealerships charging over MSRP!

12:57 Just bring back the tailgate that is on the older broncos, such as the '94 bronco. The rear window rolls down into the tail gate, such a great feature. Love my '94 for having that feature!!

@LMacNeill Жыл бұрын

I ordered cloth seats on my '22 Outer Banks Bronco specifically *because* you can't get cooled seats. In the North Georgia summer sunshine, vinyl or leather seats are **INSANELY** hot. It's the main reason I ordered an Outer Banks instead of a Badlands -- the fact that you could not get cloth seats in a Badlands. Had those MGV seats in the Badlands been cooled, I'd have ordered one.

@ford my two major complaints, the gritty plastic on the interior looks awesome, but collects every piece of dirt/dust that comes near it. Second complaint is allow us to turn off the auto shut off and leave in the off setting by default. This may be able to be incorporated in a software update (please). Yes… air conditioned seats would be awesome… and automatic wipers would also be awesome. Oh yeah… one other major thing… I live in a rural area with a lot of deer running. When the headlights are on auto, you have to slow below a certain speed (appears to be in the low 30mph range) the headlights dim to low beam when you need bright light the most to see what you are trying to avoid. Please do a software update to remove that dim feature… I’m sure there is a reason but to me it has the potential to create a true safety issue

My main complaint with my Lux Badlands Sasquach is no auto windshield wipers and adjustable seat belts at the shoulder, and maybe no rain guards in the soft top. My Ford edge sport had these. The wipers, when I'm rolling high speed offroad and hit a giant mud puddle the last thing I need to do is take my hand off the wheel so I can see. And the belt adjustment is just uncomfortable for me. They are nit picking little things because I LOVE my Bronco so much and have put a ridiculous amount of money into it. Super Cel is going to be awesome! Will be my 3rd year there.
