When will the winner be announced

[@nativetexan8247]

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.

[@nunyabeezwacks1408]

[@matt6951]

You're not wrong, but I want a new truck, and that's what they cost.

[@jmackinjersey1]

Ford should also make a stripped down, truly basic trim level, with a 5/6 speed manual, crank windows, AC/Heat/Defroster, a regular key, and nothing that you don't really need when driving or off-roading.

[@IAmWoody]

I remember the days when all of the truck options were ala carte. The good old days. I look for new vehicles that are as mechanical as I can find, which is very hard now.

[@JosephSmith-vh9ey]

Exactly, something rugged that can live up to all of mother nature!

[@Evergladesbronco]

The snorkel is for water fording not desert. The Everglades comes with diff breather extensions as well. The Everglades was meant to go slow and crawl through swamps. It’s in the name

[@hphillips7425]

I agree with most especially reducing the number of trim levels. The red and white heritage brings back memories of my 1974 bronco

[@hitleractually8180]

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.

[@jebsdaddy141]

@@hitleractually8180 I wish they would put their focus on V-8 and manual transmission just like my 1972 Bronco had.

[@jasoncrymes9608]

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.

[@jaredourada]

Ya I wish the 12" screen was available on an Outer Banks, but it's locked to Lux. Literally the only thing I can't get.

An easy fix to the rear glass problem is to design a spare tire swing away set up like you have on the jeeps.

[@kevinblackman2657]

Air conditioned front seats, heated rear seats, and the back glass that requires you need to “fully” open the tailgate door are definitely improvements that could be made. But sure am loving my OBX!!! Thanks Mitchell Watts for another great video!!

[@christenseal5467]

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???

[@Aurongel]

Ford would have to reengineer the entire tailgate to support something like that. The Bronco is awful for rear ventilation, I never feel great about having my dogs in the back for that reason. It needs rear vents like a Jeep.

[@chrisbusch1970]

the rear quarter windows pop out

[@christenseal5467]

@@chrisbusch1970 I'll have to try that. just put on a soft top to solve it LOL

[@sock979]

Yeah they definitely need to change the glass so it like rolls down inside of the door like they did on the old '90s broncos or something so you can open the glass without opening the hatch. When I had my broncos sport Badlands I loved and used that just opening the glass parts so much.

[@anatoliistrilets8665]

- More luxury interior (option for leather and more color options) - Power top like jeeps sky roof - Independent rear suspension - Remove under the seat rear AC and put on the center council - Captain rear seats with more recline - More cup holders - V6 engine is standard across the trims - Engine cover with bronco logo - Hood shock struts - Underbody protection for all trims

[@RedMage117]

As a two door fan, I love that you mentioned the snorkel and everglades. All of the special editions seem to be 4 door only and its quite sad. Ford, Please give us two door guys these options too!

[@TeethOfDead]

Ford and Jeep ain’t putting money into two doors cause they’re focusing on the main consumers. Soccer moms, family vehicle, grocery getter etc. two doors are starting to become niche.

[@topoguide]

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.

[@jessicapiatt8631]

Bonus #2 - adding memory seat options! I’ve taken my bronco to the dealership and gotten in and it takes what feels like forever to get my seat back to how I want it. 🙃

[@ghosty7498]

wouldn't that be difficult as you change the seats manually?

[@sharmilabandyopadhyay2884]

Oh my goodness guys! Why you so bougie? Just get a stick and turn your head to check your blind spot when you change lanes.

[@kellymiller1520]

I love my OBX LUX, BUT I would have paid more to have AC and heated rear seats AND MEMORY SETTINGS for the driver’s seat!!! My husband’s F250 has all of it and it’s lovely!

[@nathanlucas2257]

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.

[@bradamborski]

#1 complaint for states who get snow is the fact that the rear doors are flush with the rear fenders. Once there's a build up of snow/slush from driving and if it freezes, you cant open the rear doors.

[@josephschepis7258]

Thanks for informing us about after market steel bumpers impacting automatic cruise control which I do not want to give up.

[@andrewmitchell4466]

Great call out on the ACC. So frustrating. Add in the fact that when I ordered my bronco the winch was an option and then when it came to final production it was no longer compatible but my dealer never told me and now I have a $3500 winch setup sitting on a shelf in my garage. Thanks Ford.

[@bluford6949]

I agree with all your points. One other suggestion is to have a rain drip guards over the doors to prevent rain from dripping into the vehicle. I know there are aftermarket options, but it should be standard from the factory.

[@mikehalfsquid7758]

[@largol33t1]

Everything he mentioned is definitely an annoying issue AND shows that Ford engineers aren't paying attention to the customers. I can't believe the rear glass can't be opened independently. That's just dumb.

[@TriTownBronco]

As stated, you would have to choose between a spare tire and the ability to open the glass without the tailgate. Unless they had some sort of roll down glass that goes into the tailgate like the old 80s suvs. But I think ppl are just being nit picky and lazy at this point.

[@oneslackr]

@@TriTownBronco : "But I think ppl are just being nit picky and lazy at this point." I agree. I'm sure the features mentioned in this video might be nice to have but it mainly sounds like a bunch of 1st world whining to me. People are so soft nowadays.

[@chrisc1254]

Great video! Would like to see rear air vents as well to keep the people in the back warm/cool. Possible through the console/armrest in the front.

[@marylynett5107]

I am in the market now for a raptor. I was looking at all the other Broncos, I’m really glad I came across this video. I may wait until 2024 because I’d like to see them do the upgrades! You’ve got great points most of them.

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

There's no need for tape on the roll bar. The sign says push up, so that's what you need to do. I think people tend to push up and toward the front and that's where the scratches are happening. I don't have a single scratch after an entire summer of pulling the top off.

[@dustyroads834]

I think the steering problem should be a safety recall. Even if your not using the Bronco for extreme off roading. Say your wife is using it as a grocery getter and ricochets off a curb. If the tie rod end breaks she’s lost complete control. I know a lot of cars have weaker tie rod ends but they have a much lower center of gravity.

[@auduffer]

Reducing those trim levels would be HUGE especially with some of the things you guys have mentioned with what comes with what package. Would make it so much easier and allow for more customization. Pro Power would be awesome along with an onboard air system, snorkel, and winch options from the factory so it's all covered under the one warranty.

[@Slay_No_More]

I seen one with a snorkel the other day, I assumed it was a factory option but I can't find it anywhere.

[@auduffer]

@@Slay_No_More it was probably the Everglades, which comes with a stock snorkel

[@btw985]

I want a digital dash like the Raptor. Or at least the gear selector to show like it does on the pickups.

[@utubyan]

This video isn't about hated things. It's about junk you want to change or add. I waited almost a year for my Black Diamond hard shell two-door. I hate so many things; the price, wind noise when wet, crappy radio, factory programming (computer), rough-shifting 10-speed auto, secret factory codes, rear seats completely useless for an adult, failure to remember driver settings, inability to change default startup options, etc. About all I really like is the ride, the short wheel base, the color, the style, and the air conditioning (so far). Hopefully, someone will make me an above-water offer one day.

[@DragnSlayur]

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]

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

[@benjaminwalz6933]

As someone who has left the top open in the sunshine and then hopped in, yes please on AC seats. And yes please on steering up grades, folks are snapping those tie-rod ends at a feverish pace. A 302 V-8 would be amazing, they could make that the standard engine option in the heritage. Relocating the sensor would be great, I've bolted a small village to my front bumper already. 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.

[@speedway440]

Spot-on! Offer Ala-carte skid plates, snorkel, bestop, a true brush guard option....

[@randym4121]

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.

[@kiphenrie2291]

I agree. 1. Lower the prices!!! 2. Fix the IFS and make em stronger as an option but standard on SAS. 3. Option out snorkel and winch. As soon as people put on 37s theres a litany of problems coming your way. It would be nice to have some sort of Ford guide for doing this right OR offer it as an option. I got the BaseSquatch and love it. Everything else is too pricey. Only rich people can get these.

Only 1 item on this list is a thing you actually "hate" about your Bronco (the roll bar problem). The rest were things you'd like to add or changes to future options. And I wonder how much of that was a result of manufacturing during the chip shortage. Felt like a bit of a stretch to criticize the current model. Sure, I'd always love to see more tech, but you can't have everything on an off-road vehicle!

[@nathanlucas2257]

100% agree. I'm amazed that the sound system in my $60K Ford Bronco sounds worse than the one in my bottom dollar Ford fleet van I drive at work. I never in my wildest dreams would have guessed that the first "accessory" I would want to purchase is speakers, but here we are.

[@AngelSanchez-du8ze]

Jesus Christ, I found the poster child for “wanting more than can be invented.” Or maybe it is because my own weekend warrior is a factory 1997 2 door Tahoe that is smog exempt l, with 6.5 turbo diesel.

Yeah, pretty much tells me everything I need to know

[@mikehalfsquid7758]

I have said from day one I wish we could have a power rear window that drops down into the rear door. This would solve access issues, plus allow you to drive with the rear open and still have your hard top on. I'm sure this is an issue do to those with dual tops or only a soft top.

[@robertjohnsjr4871]

The rear glass issue isn't going to change, and it shouldn't. Allowing the glass to open independently would require a striker on the glass as well as a handle to release it. If people are complaining about that then maybe they should be in a Bronco Sport.

[@melisarascoe513]

Just bought a couple of little usb fans for my dogs and grand baby for the back seat of my 2 door bronco. There is no air circulation back there with the top on for sure. 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.

[@CharliePrice.]

All valid points. If they did these updates then the bronco would damn near be perfect..

[@williamlane6374]

[@Rita-mn1th]

FORD Please listen carefully to this man !! He knows exactly what he is talking about, and he is absolutely right on all counts ❤️

[@jonathanfaulds9645]

They should have an air pump in the bronco as well. The rear seats should fold up behind the front seats for more room. And would love to see the top removable in pieces, so the sides come off individually from the roof and rear hatch. One person can remove . And you could leave the roof on and sides off

[@rgestrella5078]

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.

[@bpkagfmt]

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.

[@WayApp]

Thank you for shedding light on the problems with the Bronco.

[@xplor1301]

[@bryanturnham6428]

I agree with the trim level idea, there’s too many! But everything else is just a good way to Jack the price up even more than what they are 😑

[@PhuVet]

That clear kick panel tape that Ford uses on their SUV's would work well on the roll bar. The rear glass thing goes back to the old explorer problem. It would mean they add a latch and trim cover, that trim cover cracks no matter what they try. Its dangerous because the window breaks, there was a recall on the 2001 EB Explorer over them breaking.

[@Paughco]

I am totally enjoying my 2022 Outer Banks mall crawler (do they still have malls?), but I gotta say, you killed it on this one.

[@SpaceTech54]

I Was leery of this video - but as you present the options - I agree with what you pointed out !!!

[@ddreese]

I agree with almost everything on your list. More engine, snorkel, less trim packages, Pro Power, more thoughtful placement of sensors. Sadly, I think Ford and the others are moving towards a Saturn-style transactional system, few options, if any, and package pricing. Might mean more work for the dealers' parts and service departments for post-sale add-ons, but also may mean fewer dealers. The world's a-changin'!

[@anandperi7060]

Very simple for your last request on the rear glass... just make it roll down. Take a look at Fisker Ocean ... similar to any window glass rolling down and up.

[@SanJoseMTB]

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

[@jonathanmartin7204]

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.

[@dragonlvr069]

(This is in regards to the back window) I'll start off by saying I'm a Very logical thinker when it comes to problems. A retractable window (down into the tail gate) wont work with the spare tire mount. 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.

[@phillman5]

Agree with all you said. After having my 2019 Edge for a while I had a similar list of things wrong with it. Don't get me wrong, I love my Edge, a heck of a lot better than my 2015 Honda CR-V! 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.

[@jwpedroza]

I like your points, but an increase in towing capacity would be great.

[@s.m.anthos7841]

Great job, brother! You are who i look to for Bronco advise! Thank you!

[@user-yg5se6rj6f]

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.

[@keithfitterer6899]

You would think they would have eliminated trim levels when parts constraints got really bad!!

[@dungeondesigns104]

[@edmancuso]

And #11 Ford, please add memory setting to the driver seats!!! My wife and I share our beloved Wildtrak and every time we alternate we have to adjust the seat.

[@scottvannederynen6429]

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.

[@jebsdaddy141]

I had a 1972 and 1976 Bronco. AC seats, heated rear seats, adaptive cruise control. You forgot to add voice activated tampon dispenser. Gawd.

I was about to get a bronco raptor but TBH, not paying 135k (taxes and reg included) for any vehicle if it doesn't have AC ventilated seats for my big, hot back. now, I think maybe ford was worried people would off road and get dirt and debris in the ventilation of the seats? but after watching your video, i see i wouldn't even want a loaded wildtrak until they incorporate some of those options you mentioned. really appreciate you, your time and sharing your knowledge; very thoughtful. think i will look at a 2023 f250 limited or similar f-150 limited or raptor until bronco catches up with high end pricing. ugh, i miss my bronco already and i haven't event owned it yet lol

[@francjv310]

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.

Things I hate about my bronco: I don't have one cause mark-ups are still way too high. My local dealerships are charging $75k for the big bend trim.

[@Yielar1]

Find an honest dealer and order one at MSRP

[@nathanlucas2257]

I just bought a Badlands, 2.7L, Mid package with leather seats and tow package with only 4K miles for $10K under sticker.

[@davidritacurl797]

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.

[@wolflitzer1230]

There needs to be a 3.5L option. With bros running 37s, even with some of the stock wheel options, there's way too much rotating mass for a IL4

[@josesantiago9216]

As a owner of a Outter Banks SAS that is fully loaded I agree with you on everything minus a few of them.

[@SrScrubalicious]

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!!

[@mariomarez2223]

If I could have two, it would be the bluecruise and not scratching my bars in the back operating the soft top!

1) Doors with window frames for those who will never take the doors off. 2) Better stereo options. 3) Water channels to keep water from coming into vehicle from roof if windows cracked open.

[@LMacNeill]

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.

[@pagah9]

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

[@robsolf]

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. :)

During hurricane Ian I used the power in my f150 to run my fridge and Keurig for coffee till I got a generator from a neighbor coming from Arkansas. 👍

[@emiliopelaez607]

These all make a lot of sense. 👍🏼

[@otiswinters3674]

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]

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.

[@markhavelka4924]

Square wheel arches, for sure! Upgraded steering components seem mandatory.

[@nvabill]

I think you missed one thing, the seatbelt shoulder harness height adjustment. I love it in my F-150 and the Bronco has a massive B pillar but yet you can not raise or lower the shoulder harness, drives me nuts.

[@TrueBlueYou]

Great video!!-I’m looking at these now-I really should wait 5 years before jumping and still have the Toyota TRD Pro Forerunner (Legendary Reliability) at the top of the list!

[@peterkovacevich1689]

Yessss memory seats/mirrors options..... and also, hurry up and get the technology made easier to flat tow, each month I'm told the upgrade is coming, in the meantime I'm still going through all these steps and pulling fuses

[@markcole6475]

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.

[@saiyuni2]

Great Mitchell, you are on the money 👍

[@cjflanaganyahoo]

Great comments, that could only be made by an owner with experience behind the wheel. Great job!

[@VADERR7]

Adding duel glove compartments would be nice too. I think the F-150 Raptor has it.

[@djweaver30125]

Yeah always wanted fighting glove compartments
