Redesigns are expensive since existing plants need to be retooled, process engineering has to get involved in making changes, parts suppliers need to be contracted, etc. Ford is phoning it in with the Bronco lately. They had a rude awakening when they had to cut the Raptor MSRP by - $10k YoY...

Damn, Ford China really is giving the Bronco the most attention. Another lazy cash grab by Ford is not a surprise from a company that has 5+ open recalls on a single model with no parts available, but continues cranking out new vehicles of the same model. It would have been cool to see a fixed...

They owe you an explanation. In the meantime, have another dealer or an independent shop diagnose it. Only share the symptoms for which you brought it in. Extraordinary repairs require extraordinarily evidence.

The OEM soft top is pneumatically assisted and can be raised/lowered with one hand. It's a cinch when I get caught in an unexpected shower. Pull over quickly, lift it up, lock it in, and go.

I have never heard of any vehicle encountering brake failure due to lack of routine service. Plus one to the Toyota comment, though. My 17 Tacoma has never needed anything other than oil, tires, and one rotor being resurfaced.

This makes a lot of sense now. I'd guess most buyers wouldn't buy sight unseen unless they had substantial disposable income and/or were in the car business. If I were in your shoes, I'd do the same. The LLMs from Google and Open AI have some pretty awesome deep research capabilities now to...

Why is it hard? Nobody's making you read it, but they do benefit those on the fence about buying. I read a lot of them leading up to delivery of my Badlands, and they helped me to set my expectations correctly. For some, rants like this help them to decide a Bronco isn't right for them. I...

So...what is the brightness of the LCD display? I'm afraid this doesn't answer my question

That's nothing new for MY25 as far as I know. The writeup was written by Gemini, Google's AI model. It lets you ask questions about YouTube videos now, which saves a ton of time when creators try to bury details behind a ton of fluff to pump their watch hour stats.

Add gom jabbar in case you are stranded and the above fail.

For anyone who wants to just get to the point and not have to watch more than 6 minutes into the video before the differences are discussed, I had Gemini summarize the relevant points: Here's a breakdown of the differences between the 2024 and 2025 Ford Bronco, as highlighted in the video...

What is the brightness of the rear view display LCD? I have the Brandmotion Fullvue installed, and it's useless at night because it can't cope with headlights from cars behind me, and during the day the display is too dim if I have the top open. Have been looking for an alternative for a while

Given that it has every year, and EVs are relatively new compared to ICE vehicles, I'd say it's a safe bet. Affordability is another matter.

You answered your own question.

That would look so good painted to match the Wildtrak rims

The mesh plate actually looks good with your dark paint color! When the HAVOC tailgate reinforcement was first introduced, there were lots of folks saying they wouldn't install that piece. Have you found any uses for it? HAVOC claimed it was a functional "MOLLE panel," but I can't see how such...

Mine opens just as widely as it did with the factory hinges. It feels much more stable across the entire range of motion with the beefier hinges.

I did, and it got my fender back on. Prices vary pretty wildly. That's actually a good deal.

I am so happy with my 2.3L 10-speed w/ SAS setup. It's very quick off the line for something rolling on 35s, and has plenty of power for off roaring. I've done some fun whoops at Big Bend National Park at a good speed, and never felt like it was struggling to keep up. It's great on the...

I've got a Badlands with the High package and had the same concerns as OP. The pre-collision alert would beep at the same parked car on the side of a main road almost every day, but there was no evidence of any other safety intervention until I was leaving work one day and it saved me from...
