I don't know what I don't know

The best tutorial I received on my bronco came from attending the Bronco Offrodeo.

This is great advice - don't skip out on the opportunity

One of the biggest things I have seen overlooked is this little sticker.

The MIC top is hand wash only.

There are many threads on the topic and about how they crack, even if they are coddled and cared for. Keep your eye on it.

Long ago, as I waited for mine to be built, I would see Broncos on the lot without this sticker in the window. I go by those dealers today I see this sticker in every window.

you should see what happens when you wax them...

My dealer had a specialist to take me through the Bronco.

He didn’t know how the back seats work.

I purchased my Bronco used and I was lead to believe when purchased new there are a lot of things the dealership goes over with you. So to help alleviate my ignorance, is there a lot of good information the dealership goes over? Anything you all who have had your Bronco for awhile think a noob should know? Any info is appreciated.

Do not use 4L or 4H on pavement!!!!

Other than that... have fun

I mean most salesmen don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground, so I don’t think you missed much buying it used lol
Anything important is in the owners manual.

Our salesman literally grabbed the tire to open the tailgate, then pointed at the handle for the storage and said “your spare is under there if you need it.”

Ford still has some How-To videos on their youtube for the bronco.
Like:

and

I'd go to their channel and search bronco

This was my first vehicle with an e-parking brake. The dealer guy couldn’t tell me how to disengage it.

When I was a kid, a homeless man came up and started an impassioned rambling that I don't fully remember except for one line, "don't know what you don't know, you can only know what you know." I have lived my life by that ever since.

Is this FORD covering their a-s? I did not see any of these on my local dealer that has 100's of '24,'25 Broncs on the lot. I've been taking mine through carwashes. Was that the first, bad MIC top?

If you have the chance, get in with a local Bronco group who does some trail rides or events.
I can't tell you how many times I've had new owners in one of my Uwharrie rides that did not know how to put it in 4WD, much less modes or the switches.
It is a good feeling to educate and watch people grin from ear to ear when they unlock even a small percentage of what these things are capable of.
Don't be too shy or proud to ask. Most decent people have zero issue helping you along. If they are condescending, find someone who isn't.
Like you said, you don't know what you don't know.
Congrats on the purchase!

I saw that sticker on the new Broncos on my dealer's lot. I guess they want you to take the top off if you want to go through a car wash.
