Yes - I can skip the CD player also. Remove all chips and software. Use technology to improve the quality of build/parts.

[WARNING - long post] I have a belief that the auto manufacturers that produce capable 4x4 vehicles are missing out on an important market segment by failing to provide 4x4 models/trims/variants that are much less expensive since they do not include non-essential software and electronic 'bells...

The quality of the current MIC top is probably the biggest issue holding me back from purchasing a Bronco. I personally have no desire to ever remove or open the top and feel that the risk of annoyances or major issues from leaks, noise, damage, and/or deterioration is to great to be worth the...

Yes. My main priority is having a roof with greater quality. No interest in taking the top off so not worth taking any risk of annoyances from leaks, noise, cracks etc. Have been watching since before the release and thought that I'd be in a Bronco by now - if not for the roof issues (though...

Yes - AI (although it did what it was asked) has created something that the manufacturer will undoubtedly be unable to support. Wait! Can AI teach Ford to engineer and support their current electronic technology to higher reliability standards ?? [sorry,, couldn't stop myself]

The quality of the top is keeping me from ordering a Bronco. Sad for those of you experiencing the worst issues. :(

Submitted for your consideration .... .. . NHTSA listing of the U.S./Canadian content (by value) of the equipment (parts) used to assemble passenger motor vehicles. https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/2023-09/MY2024-AALA-Alphabetica-8-30-23.pdf I was surprised to see the Bronco...

Wondering the same thing. Have been holding out for a better roof and was hoping the modular top would be good enough and not have to wait for a normal/permanment/fixed/metal roof...

Won't that risk setting the cardboard on fire ??

Turn Offroad, Just logged in to provide some words of encouragement and wishes for your success with this project. Seems like the group has a long wish list of desired features, and mine falls at the minimalist end of the spectrum for a 2 door single piece top. Please don't loose sight of...

1. Fixed roof (metal, pemanent, sound proofed). 2. A La Carte configuration from the factory to allow selection and installation of various components that are available in/from the various trims. Would be willing to spend $1,000 maybe $1,500 to be able to select wheels , fender flares , grill...

Have been watching the Bronco news since before the initial release and thought that I would have one by now. Have the money saved up. But,, the current roof quality is a show stopper for me. Went back to window shopping the Jeep Wrangler again but also having quality concerns. Now waiting...

I voted YES for a fixed top. 1. Just not a convertible person. 2. Interested in less noise and increased insulation. 3. Interested in less maintenance as in the ability to wax a metal roof along with the rest of the vehicle. 4. Interested in less maintenance from any minor scratch and dent...

... ... OH Wait !! Are we saying that the smaller silloutte in the photo is an Old model and not a new pre-release model?? If so I am really sad. Need to find some other endeavor in life to provide meaning and value - other than looking for my ideal vehicle. :(
