Your wish list for 2025 Bronco?

[huey]

Where does the 33" or 35" tire go? I don't think people would enjoy pushing that back up every time they need to get in the back.

easy - swing out off the bumper
I won't mind the added step, get's the weight off the tailgate so when the new tailgate skin is made of aluminum foil even a 40" tire / wheel won't wrinkle the sheet metal. Get the advantage of the gate to sit on and a drop down window.

(1) 3.0 should be option for normal bronco and 3.5 should be standard for braptor
(2) better gauge cluster
(3) better interior

Where did you get that???? I need one for my dog too!!

I got it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL43DPKH/ref=twister_B0CXT9VGQ3?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

There are literally hundreds of them for sale, but I went for the wider one 17" since my dog is 75 lbs and this one is very sturdy. And it folds up nicely.

Honestly, I really love my 2022 Badlands. It's crazy capable from the factory, the exterior is 10/10 and interior and tech (definitely don't need to go back to analog - sorry), is honestly underrated but I do have some wishlist items:

• Merge the Badlands & Wildtrak - There is no need for a rock crawler and desert runner given the Raptor exists (HD Rack, Fox suspension, Squatch, Sway Bar Disconnect, +Reinforced Tailgate should be options... would love to see optional 37's but I get it)
• Fix the windows - I'm not against frameless but they don't work well especially when you are on the trail
• Better hardtop -Not sure I need to say more... Would love a roll down rear window as well
• Improve the rear seat AC- Under the seat doesn't really work
• Accommodate the aftermarket -Fix the ACC location so bumpers + winch's don't require relocation, better A Pillar mounting accessory locations (additional options would be appreciated as well), engine space for compressors and dual battery setups (mostly for the Raptor crowd)
• Full Digital Cluster - Just like the Raptor
• Fold flat rear seats - The bump sucks and other SUV's have figured it out. Total carpet delete would be nice as well
• Rain Sensor wipers - Not the most critical but nice to have
• Keep the 2.7 and ICE - I'm not against EV's or hybrids but I hope Ford keeps a good V6 option in the Bronco given recent rumors. I know everyone is very vocal about a V8 but the reality is most people that are asking will never be able to afford one (myself included), as it will be a Raptor R if it ever comes to fruition and cost $150k+
• Larger gas tank - Would love to see increased range
• Open the Braptor up for more tuning and customization - Not a Raptor owner but have been eyeing them and it sounds like it's a pain to change any electronics dependent components and there's not much room to make mods in the engine bay, bumper, etc.
• Lower Prices - Go back to what was offered in 2021. Prices are out of hand and a big reason why there is such a surplus.

Big payoff, engineering changes items:
AC/Heat better ducting and fan pressure to passenger seats
Seat Tilt added to the adjustments, without needing to jack it up on washers
Digital instrument cluster, this bizarre/expensive mix of analog is limiting
Parking brake placement needs to be really obvious, not hidden by your knee, and 100% not right next to the hood release

Medium payoff, easy CAN bus items:
360 Camera much higher speed to auto-off, and setting for manual off
Engine auto-stop remember its setting

Quality of life items:
Adjustable seat belt height, shorter passengers it sits pretty high across
Sticky pad inserts on the dash so things don't fly around like a pinball machine
Center console walls in the very front, my stuff keep sliding out when cornering...

Things to keep on doing
Mechanical controls, and what cannot be is well integrated into the head unit
Big PRNDL handle and not a spinny-dial, thank you for that
Even the friendly OBX is still a truck, avoid going too comfy, maintain the brand

Secret Agent wish list
Those trail guides on the front hood, add lasers to lay down a line forward

I’m content. I want to take my 2021 Bronco on some roadtrips in 2025 and make more memories and explore more. I’ve had my Bronco for almost 3 years and the honeymoon phase has not ended. Still having fun driving it and doing subtle mods and personalizing it. Ultimately I want my machine customized so it is prepared for almost any situation. I love tinkering. It’s addictive! My dogs love it also.

Shelter green and square fender flares as options on Badlands, not just Raptor.

 

[HotLap]

Move the headlight switch so I don't hit it with my knee everytime I get in and out. And lose the auto restart "feature"

Cheers,

LOL, and I thought I was the only one…hit that darn headlight switch all the time. Had a TKR several years ago so it’s numb and half the time can’t tell I’ve bumped it or not, only way I can tell is the “headlight on“ chime when I’m climbing out

 

[JerryC]

Lots of good suggestions already.

Move the parking brake lever to the center console.

Camera rear view mirror.

Useful fog lights.

Make it so the ditch lights on the mirrors can stay on to 15-20 mph.

Roll down rear window. If this needs a bumper mounted swing out spare tire mount and traditional tailgate, so much the better.

An adventure package consisting of fabric lift off doors, and a lightweight soft top that folds down nearly flat. My first gen was setup like this and it was the best thing since sliced bread. Could go full open air in two minutes and back in three minutes.

I’ve given up on a V8.

I am hoping for a 2-door Raptor model.

 

[DarthLincoln]

Analog instrument cluster with speedometer on the left pointing towards center, tachometer on right pointing towards center. The oil pressure, oil temperature, engine temperature, and battery voltage in the middle.

“YES” to all that!

Or at least use the Braptor-style digital cluster on all trims and ditch the current junk.

I’d be happy either way, as long as Ford also makes it compatible to swap into any 2021-2024 Bronco.

 

[Reidt131]

Just thicker interior plastics. Three years in and im already feeling the door cards loosen and rattle slightly.

I want to keep this vehicle for a long period of time, so I expect some trim clip work in my future.

Easy updates/fixes:

Digital Cluster- Something resembling a uniform cluster, not a combo of digital and analog.
Sound System- Fix the stupid B&O from the factory. It sucks. I paid extra for it, make it worth extra. Or cut out the digital programming stuff so its easy to upgrade/tune.
Windows- Fix the rattle. Frameless or not, there is no reason to have a rattle when the doors open.
Colors- Bring back the Anti-Matter blue. I'm still pissed about getting cut off on that one. Add Grabber Blue into the mix and I might forgive Ford.

Actual WISH List that I know will never happen:

V8- The 7.3 gas would be easier to fit, but the 5.0 would make it slightly more practical.
Manual on a "Big" engine- *See above about V8, but add a manual option. I would settle for a manual 2.7 or 3.0.
Base Brawler- Cheap base model without added content/convenience other than a big engine, manual and fully lockable 4x4 (front and rear diff).

 

[Bobko]

In the 4dr. The back sear folding flat (not 4" hight then storage) for easier loading.

1. A model that has standard fixed (non-removeable) insulated hard top with panoramic roof w/ power retractable sunshade and non-removable doors with integrated speakers.
2. 5.0 Coyote Motor

There are plenty of customers that will never remove the top or doors and would love to have a model that is much quieter with a better sounding quality stereo system.

Over 99.9% of the Broncos I see have their top on (soft or hard), doors on and windows up. I think there is a market for a more powerful and more luxurious SUV that still retains all of its off-road capability.
