2023 Bronco complaints

[Bigbluebadlands]

put about 11000 miles on this bronco and generally like most things about it.
as a side note. i bought it because my wife hates my 2door rubi . and other than the roof rack there's is no room much of anything.
so i ordered this bronco.
now for my bitch's.
1)no power seats (guess i should have figured that out before buying)
2)the hazards switch is too far way from the driver
3) the collision alarm is startlingly loud, flashes a glare on the windshield and generally sucks all around.
4)the mirror switch's are in the worst place possible (and the reason i know the collision alarm sucks...)
5)the gauges , they suck to look at period. (reminds me of a late 80's chevy truck)
6) the lack of interior lighting.
7)wtf would you build a vehicle around the radio? you have zero options on a head unit? seriously?
8)lack of power ports in dash unless there's some hidden i have 1 usb port on lower dash and a power plug in the console.
ok that's interior
1) in sand mode and in sand the temps sky rocket running at redline on the digital gauges. got hot enough to smell the paint burning off the engine.
2)in 4 low in sand temp runs high even manually shifted to 1st at 2500 rpm
3)no factory mudflaps installed? (should been in the sas package)
that's it for now..
have good one..

the hazards really bother me. you have to reach over half way across the dash to get to the switch. i use them a lot in the pnw since people up here have a lot of air gap between there ears and stop for no particular reason in the middle of the highway..so you gotta look over find the swich,,.then that freak'in collision alarm goes off....lol sucks...

boy, I won't argue with you at all about the mirror switches and the gauge cluster.

As for the radio...where have you been for the last 15-20 years. Everyone does it. It's like the iPad on the dash thing for EVs--"ooooo, Tesla does it, our EV must do it too!" Stupid follows stupid.

I have power seats. Sorry you don't. I would like memory seats, but that's one of those "eh" things.

Mud flaps--that's a wild west out there, and it sucks. I bought the Ford ones, but the fronts don't work with the Ford running boards. The backs look great, but I had to install Mabett fronts. Any refresh should directly address this.

Now, interior lights--the industry solved that, BIG time. I'm surprised YOU can't read a newspaper every time I open the door at night. Trunk light, rear upper light, and add-on interior lights above the doors--easy peasy, lemon squeezy. HUGE bang for the buck if you want interior lighting.

Interior power ports--I guess the Lux package has them on the top of the dash in the center, but if you don't have them, again the industry has solvled this--they're stupid easy to add on. As is a dash rail good for mounting all of your Youtube videomaking accessories. (Go Influencers!)

"As for the radio...where have you been for the last 15-20 years. Everyone does it.."
Sorry every car and truck i have owned gave you the ability to change out the head unit. What sucks is my 2012 f350 has a better factory head unit than my brand new bronco.
And I could change it out without having to take it to the dealer to reprogram the vehicle.
Lighting is mediocre but it would be nice to have enough light to find the fob at night if you should drop it.. but like I mentioned it's witch's on some things that could be better.

Those two sentences are in no way contradictory.

I repeat: where have you been for the last 15-20 years? Everyone does it.

so fix it. Third party interior lighting choices abound. Or acknowledge the reality of the factory Bronco without lighting add-ons, and carry a flashlight in the car.

Or don't fix it, and keep coming here to moan about it.

Not an argument, 4 of the last 5 vehicles have been ford's 07, 12, 15, 23, and all but this one had decent stereo. So the statement is argumentative.
And I'm just stating fact. So if the stero goes out does the bronco Just die? That would suck...

Are you always an ass or is it just me this week?

Facts don't care about your feelings.

Lol...Lost feelings along time ago ..well except for the occasional hemorrhoid...

shit, anymore a three dollar part that's buried $4000 inside can go out and the car just dies.

You know I saw a post the other day about something to do with a light being unplugged and the trans would not shift..can't remember where I read that..

On #3 exterior, I love that they don’t install them from the factory. But I get your point.
