From all of this, I just want a comically-large, red ejection button mounted to my dash now. Maybe you could run the horn through it.
I’ve driven a lot of test vehicles with big power cutoff switches like that. Never had to use one in an emergency, but it alwayes looks so damn tempting to punch it. 🤣

@fordmotorcompany better finally cover up that unsightly pinch weld if they're planning to go upmarket with this.

That is FAR down the list of things Ford needs to fix

Personally I have never even noticed mine

The pinch weld horror people crack me up.
10 minutes, some making tape, and spray on bed liner is the best solution.

I’m glad we can agree it’s an issue that can easily be covered up! The question is whether the end user should be the responsible party to correct the design flaw or if it should be corrected in production from the factory…. 🧐

The same "issue" that is on pretty much every steel bodied vehicle?

Calling it now...this will be the Ford Bronco Platinum. Contrast stitched dash and eggcrate grille are already in use in other Platinum models. And yes, they will sell. Mostly to SAHM and country club wives. Same group that buys G-Wagons and never takes them off-road. It's all about the features and the looks.

How will they know it's a Platinum without a silver tailgate? They left a good space for it on the Bronco, after all.

A lux and leather OBX has been the closest thing to luxury, so a true upgrade to premium interior materials is long overdue. Painted fenders and mirrors are really a must, as well as getting rid of the scratch and sniff interior plastics. Problem is that if the price goes up much you are in the 4runner Platinum or Lexus GX range, and either would be a better luxury experience.

When are they actually going to listen to customers and give us the things we ask for instead of new designs to wheels and grills that are super ugly.

Personally I love the way my bronco came from the factory. I'm not gonna change the wheels, or the grill. I fell in love with it when i got it and am still in love with it to this day! Ford really knocked it out of the park on the 2020 refresh in my opinion. the only thing i don't understand is why they phased out the 6 cylinder and the 2 door options. I understand that the market for the 4 door aka,... aka the minivan is more demanding, but some of us don't care or need the 4 door. and we like our 2.7s. Ford please put the 6 cylinder back in the 2 door and make it an option for the Badlands 2 door Wildtrak like the four door has and i know personally I'd buy it as well as several others that love their Wildtraks!!!
