We specifically didn't buy it as we thought there are so few "surprise" needs for AWD even in Chicagoland. It was quite an expensive option and I believe it required other options that we weren't interested in.

Dual tops. What a waste! Having installed the soft top for the first time this summer once we go back we will never do it again. Too much a PITA. Too much road noise vs. the hard top even if it was closed. Chicagoland doesn't have predictable enough weather as at least this August it...

I asked my wife who is constantly on the phone in her Bronco. It is as quiet or quieter than our 2012 XTerra w/ more highway friendly tires. I truly believe if you buy a SUV not a SMV(soccer mom vehicle) there is always a level of tire/road noise. 2024 Big Bend hard top w/ sound deadening...

Good for your extended warranty, but I would consider that unacceptable. For the first 100k there should be zero items besides tires, LOF, and brakes. With a manual maybe a clutch at 80k+ assuming there was a design flaw. We are just under 50k and have a 2.3L 7MT so a different situation...

I think it looks good, but I worry about durability. For us we will drive the Bronco lots of miles and keep it a long time so we wouldn't want to make any modifications that would wear well in Chicagoland weather.

Android/Apple is subject to cell strength or offline maps. Ford's is AT&T network based so it doesn't even fill in the gap for when you are really in the middle of nowhere. Now I have T-Mobile and the UP Michigan and anywhere away from an interstate is sketchy, but AT&T has big holes in...

We have that, but we have just standard off-roading options including the smallest tires. It is quieter than our 2012 XTerra Pro4X and my wife tests that all the time by always being on the phone on her commutes. It is by far the quietest of any SUV we've had.

Hard or soft? We didn't notice the wind until we switched to soft top for the first time. Even with it closed it went from no perceptible noise to mid 90s SUV noise. There is a good chance once we go back to hard top that we will NEVER switch back to the soft top. Chicagoland "nice"...

The Bronco is the first vehicle we've owned that requires tools to replace these filters. Totally crazy that they didn't make the engine air filter hand screws or clips. At least they provided the tools, but still. SMH.

We are first time American car owners and we thought we'd have a lot of gripes. Even the E-Brake with the 7MT is now acceptable when I learned it automatically releases. I've had a lot of cars that where I thought the brake was off and I look at the gauge cluster and the light is lit...

Since we were looking for a manual Isuzu Rodeo(Fayetteville, NC) back in 2003 we've noticed how many mislabeled automatics exist. I always check the interior pictures. In 2003 we insisted the dealer email us interior pictures and the same in 2012 for our Nissan XTerra(Tulsa, OK). Neither...

We haven't done a lot, but this is the one my wife likes the most and she is the primary driver. Somebody posted the 7MT and I agree with that totally even if it isn't an aftermarket upgrade.

We are boring and don't physically labeled our vehicles. My wife's Bronco is Buck. Usually it matches the first name of the model or manufacturer and it is a male name for SUVs and a female name for cars. Some of our Japanese cars get Japanese words like Kiukuku(quick), Inu(dog for dog...

I hate people but I like dogs and it is easier to transport dogs in a 4-door.

It says you are Northern Maine which is devoid of people. I doubt the Moose can fit inside to take it for a spin.

My wife has become the faster driver, but I am more aggressive with lane changes in traffic. Different styles. Generally who drives depends on which car we take. If we take "her" car which is the Bronco she will drive most of the time while any other I will likely drive. I think if I had an...

Teaching your son and even more importantly your daughter manual is AWESOME. A girl that can drive manual can put most teenaged males in their place. Shooting/hunting is another way to give a girl a secret advantage. My future wife could drive manual when I met her in college and that...

I hate prox keys. With my Nissan it created problems which don't happen with a physical key. If this is your car with a prox key a logical question would be "What do I do if the battery is dead?" I did a simple search for "key not found bronco" and it explained the backup RFID slot. Even if...

We have the before and although I like the striping the the rest I can live without. To me the stock Broncos "pop" naturally without the need for mods. The I was most curious about is whether he got the 7MT as that really makes the Bronco.

Yes I cheated and use AI. I can't find a non-enthusiast site which lists it so who knows that the values are.
