Who wants a Bronco refresh?

[CitrusBronco]

I think the Bronco is near perfect in exterior looks and I hope we see very little change for years to come.
The Interior could use a refresh every few years to incorporate newer tech/comfort.
I’d like to see cloth seats and more interior colors which I think would be cheap and easy.

The ‘25 has several interior changes that I think are all for the better however I don’t consider them cosmetic outside the digital gauge cluster.

Do you want to see exterior styling change, if so what?

What interior changes would you like to see?

Better material, better water resistance/proof

100% give me a refresh, by removing 90% of the tech.

I would never buy a Bronco with carpet or cloth seats. They need to make sure to keep the vinyl stuff.

Some 80s style two tone paint would be nice.

I’d love to see a base SAS model with minimal tech. Manual everything but I know that won’t happen. It would essentially be an entire different manufacturing line I would reckon.

Maybe a hood scoop option of some sort. Squared fenders like a 1G. (Yes like a Heritage except with a wide and narrow flares for Sasquatch and non Sasquatch). Air-conditioned seats. Get rid of the MIC tops.
Raptor needs a flare re-design.

All I want is a white top without having to buy an HE version.

I like options and I’m about tired of the none breathing vinyl. FL has the skunk ape we don’t need more swap ass.
I think ‘21 had it right with cloth, vinyl and leather choices.

I agree, I want this option.

Meanwhile, I wont buy one without carpet. If I can keep my farm trucks carpet nice, I can keep my toy nice too...

Better material for the interior is among the top of my list - the interior panels scratch if you just look at them funny.

They got Window Flop, maybe, so that's nice.

Better interior lighting options - it's like I stepped into Wierd Uncle Jim's creepy box van when he offers me ice cream...

On the tech side - I generally don't think we need more, I like my stripped back model, but it's kind of silly that the top tiers don't have auto wipers, don't have ACC with stop and go, and don't have lane keeping -- for those people that want those features.

Getting brake-based per-wheel vectoring with the GOAT modes would be nice for lower trims, so you don't force everyone into full-on lockers (and all the people that don't quite know how to use them and break things). Or a full AWD T-Case to replace the Full Time T-Case (but definitely keep the existing part-time T-Case for us tech-adverse folks).

A non-electric, or at least modulating, parking break is probably a pipe dream. But would be nice. And having the handle not right next to, and similar to, the hood release, would also be nice.

I would LOVE a "quiet mode" for the entertainment screen -- suppsoedly a button was supposed to exist (and it does on the Sport and many other models) -- but to turn off the infotainment screen I have to dig through the Sync settings, while I'm driving down the road being blinded by the light.

And my last wish list item - have the HVAC controls actually do what they say they should... like Floor actually going to the floor, and not have 85% of the air actually coming out of the A-pillar vent instead, or little things like the "recirc" remembering what position you had it in last, rather than automatically doing whatever the F it wants to do on that particular day.

Squared fenders, Wimbledon White grille/top( available Heritage or not) more 2 doors, Black Diamond particularily.

And this "Getting brake-based per-wheel vectoring with the GOAT modes would be nice for lower trims, so you don't force everyone into full-on lockers (and all the people that don't quite know how to use them and break things"

Longer design cycles = Lower costs
Shorter design cycles = Wasteful
Mid-cycle enhancements = Really wasteful

I'd like to see no changes for 10+ years. Use that tooling until it's worn out, and build cheaper spare parts. I know my opinion is in the minority and that's ok.

I agree. I never had that problem until the scourge of poorly-programmed, glitchy, update-begging "infotainment" screens rolled out.

Knobs, levers, and vacuum valving or push/pull cables don't require dumb software updates either.
