10 things I HATE about my Bronco Raptor… A letter To Ford

10 things we HATE about the Bronco!!! Starting off with the first issue is the size of the backseat. There needs to be a lot more room than there is. 2nd is the Hardtop. It has become super loud on the interstate with the wind noise. The third thing is the Apple car play. We personally have seen a lot of issues with the apple carplay working, and then not working. The fourth thing is the engine. There isn't anything wrong with the engine, we just wish that Ford would come out with a Bronco Raptor R! The next thing is that there are not a lot of suspension options for the Bronco Raptor. Next is the seats in the Bronco Raptor. There is no option for air conditioned seats in any of the Bronco Raptors. The 7th issue is the actual price of the Bronco Raptor and how it holds its value. These trucks do not hold their value like the F-150 Raptors do. The 8th thing we hate is the Bronco Raptor skid plate. We are not fans of the silver design choice. Lastly are the windows. We wish that all the previous Broncos could have the window update that the 2023 has.

[@DerekDunifer]

The only thing I hate is the price.

[@Nothing-kr5hn]

Nothing else to hate about this rig 😅

[@donackerson5194]

The chances of having a 6'3" passenger sitting behind a 6'3" driver are probably pretty low.

[@TCcustoms_]

true statement.

[@robertschmitz6805]

I've got a 15yo already 6', one of the pluses of having my gladiator. More room in the back seat

[@kalithor1]

If you want more room get a full size truck that has bigger cabin and bigger bed. Gladiator is just a compromise

[@leosickboy]

@@kalithor1 true. or get a better brain

[@dnice362]

Soft tops look absolutely terrible

[@FD_Boss]

Mitchell, there is an update for the window short drop feature, albeit not OTA. I had it done on my ‘23 that was built in April. Took it to the dealer, updated it in house, now I have it, without replacing any modules. It is SSM 51895.

[@bo2403]

Looking into painting my front bash plate also, wanting to use truck bed liner paint. Did you have to prime at all, and how did yours turn out up close? Thanks

[@xrpwatts2116]

I hate there isnt a V8 Manual shift. it totaly sucks.

[@noahlyou5852]

Do you know if 2022 models of bronco has window issues? One of the used one that I am looking at has production date of December 2022

[@JustinRhody]

Love the jacket! where can i get that from? lol Also the wind noise from the top and the room inside was part of my decision to but the f150 raptor!

[@chiefordnance]

It's a lifted EXPLORER ST 😂

[@johnbronco8678]

All thought I saw that all Broncos can get the window module updated at the dealer to add the drop feature. Can you confirm/refute this Mitch?

[@jasonshuler6855]

You can get it updated at dealer but not over the air

[@homerfeltheim12345]

Did the 2023 braptor get the window fix?? Also, does TC customs do the katzkin leather seat conversions?

[@TCcustoms_]

Yes and yes!

[@johnsalamone983]

Power reduction may have been caused by heat soak? Try changing to an aftermarket intercooler and charge pipe set up? May not be a 100% fix but it may extend the length of the burnout.

[@stephenbeasley]

How about rear air vents? Got any of those in your $100,000 Bronco Raptor?

[@crobison2008]

I literally have never had an issue with wireless CarPlay @ 15 months in. It's one of things I would say works well! Crazy.

[@Yielar1]

Never had an issue with Fords wireless Android Auto as well

[@keemjones1823]

Did yu hold the traction off button

[@TroyPitney-md7vq]

They make black brackets for your XL80 lights...it would look better vs shiny metal.

[@TCcustoms_]

Great info! I didn’t realize that! Thanks!

[@MrSlade62]

Have a question, ordered a bronco in march of 2023, I told them I wanted a 2024 even before I knew about the model year changes, due to my desire to have a even numbered year model, they canceled my order in 2024 never called me and guess they were going to keep my 500 dollar deposit... is this common practice?? Said I needed to update my order in the new year!!

[@TCcustoms_]

This sounds strange! Is your order with Town & Country Ford?

[@MrSlade62]

@@TCcustoms_ Horne Ford off of Tomahawk road in Apache Junction Arizona..... I want to get it from you guys.... I just hate to get on a plane!!

[@MrSlade62]

@@TCcustoms_ As a Matter of fact the video you made telling us to check on our orders due to the changes Ford was making made my wife nervous so I even called the salesman to be sure we were fine with our order!! I am not a happy consumer!!

[@keithmccloud6722]

I was considering trading my f150 raptor for one but some of these you listed was why I traded my Wildtrak.

[@JonnyFo]

2022 outer banks smaller screen, wireless Apple CarPlay is flawless on the daily.. 15 pro max ..

[@markcole6475]

I’m figuring this hate video is just click bait to comment on the video ….it worked!

[@MarkSixFilms]

Dude you were whining about not being able to get a hard top before, now you’re whining about having a hard top. Pick a lane.

[@TCcustoms_]

No. I’ve ALWAYS been team soft top. Although I do see the benefits of both.

[@justincredible9294]

I personally see more issues with the soft top! Glad I went with a hard top!

[@mostlymikeandmel4629]

Good video

[@ricklp1861]

Bro ! Thats one nice mall crawler!!!

[@NERSKIE25]

wow the best

[@barrytobias6921]

One of the most over priced vehicles made. Many dealers have these sitting because this is not worth $100k.

[@The-fs5wn]

I have yet to see one at a dealer, but I've seen several of these things on the road, 2 with a bunch of mods and accessories. Your comment makes zero sense.

[@Bacnow]

@@The-fs5wn - They are certainly NOT dwelling on dealer lots! If there’s one there then that dealer is attempting to sell it at a price that’s way above MSRP! At MSRP the dealers are selling as soon as they hit the lots!

[@chiefordnance]

DEPRECIATES faster than a used JAGUAR...

[@metallica2500]

The only good Broncos were those that were built before the 80s

[@everettstormy]

It just bugs me that the newer ones aren't even a bronco they are bronco 2 becuase they are based on a ranger

[@thegarbear05]

apple lol

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

Of course it’s small in the back, it’s a cuv. When are you putting a v8 in it so my ears stop bleeding?

[@Deadfeat]

1, 2, 3, 9, are not Raptor exclusive issues, ... Apple sucks anyway.

[@Vader1957]

I really thought I wanted a new Bronco but I was smart enough to wait a bit. Everyone who paid over list is hurting a bit right now. The thrill is gone and sales numbers show that the Wrangler is still holding it's own. I think I'd buy the jeep today. I like the bronco but Ford has just gone crazy with their pricing and even eliminated the base bronco with the steelies . Ford needs a wake up call.

[@mostlymikeandmel4629]

1st

[@CharlesWilson-zs3vd]

8 is enough for me, not to buy, other then the looks, and the name.

[@adventureescape1929]

Man, sounds horrible. Better hurry up and sell then.

[@mrs.skywalker007]

seriously? is america the land of 6.3foot men and taller? c'mon man, you're whining. obviously ford has to average out measurements vs cost. just be happy you're fantastically tall like the elves of middle-earth .... and you've got. a. bronco. i'm not tall and i don't have a bronco 😫😫

[@petercullipher9438]

Why did you buy a vehicle that you hate?
