Hi everybody,

I know it is not the best place to ask that kind of question, but what do you think about your bronco reliability?

Is received mine in two weeks.

I was supposed to buy a 4Runner 2025 but because it is almost the same as the Tacoma 2024 that I already have, I change my mind for the Bronco big bend with black package 2025 because of the look!

Hope I not going to regret, never drove a Bronco, it is to replace a Cherokee Trailhawk.
I've had mine since December 2021, and it has 40,000 miles on it. It has been great, other than a few little recalls and replacing the hard top twice. I would do it again with no problem, still enjoy driving it!!

3 years, 30k miles. Mine has been great. A few early model year gremlins like the headlight switch, but that was easily fixed with a $60 part and 5 mins of my time. Occasional snyc bugs, but nothing a reset didn't fix. 2.3 and manual transmission has been flawless so far. Great MPG and engaging performance.

For what it's worth, I rented a 2025 4runner via Turo in Maui last month and its transmission grenaded while I had it. Only had 4k miles on it, and I was simply cruising on the highway.

As someone who only drove toyota/lexus products for the last 20 years, these new ones are a far cry from the golden era of toyota quality.
I would not blame the tranny failure on the 4Runner but the person that beat the $hit out of it before you. Have you seen how people treat rentals?

Lol agreed, definitely was a factor.

Just over 2 years old, 55k-ish miles on it. No mechanical issues at all, no problems with my hard top, & I drive it fairly hard up & down mountains year round. Winters, I've felt safe driving in some heavy snow storms on i70. Summers, it's been a blast getting to those high clearance only upper trail heads & all the other random offroad trails I find. During the week, I feel comfortable enough hanging out while stuck in traffic. Oil changes, tire rotations, & all other maintenances are taken care of on schedule.

8 out of 10 pastors recommend Broncos.
Every smart warranty claim ever:

“What? No. I only drive it to work on weekdays and out to church on Sunday. This baby’s never been off road”

Mine has been flawless 3.5 years in and 21,000 miles. Others have had different results, but keep in mind some will come in here just to complain...
This is exactly the same as my experience.

No issues of any sort in over 20,000 miles.

37K+ miles still going strong, have not had any issues and yes I go off road every so often... went east coast and back to west coast, added over 9k miles.
Love my bronco, I know it will break one day, just like any other vehicle...

You're slacking, a guy just posted on FB with over 200k.
I would have been there if I kept commuting back and forth between Corpus Christi and San Angelo.

I've had no issues in 38K miles except one of the fender flares delaminating (splitting into two pieces, the inner and outer pieces). Dealer replaced no questions asked.

This guy on reddit just hit 200K on his Bronco with no issues as well. Seems pretty solid.

Late 2022 2Dr Base with 11,000 miles on it. V6/auto. Put on OBX tires and wheels. 22-24 MPG (calculated) on the highway. Fastest 4WD I've ever owned, and a lot of fun.

No problems at all. No MIC hardtop problems, no nothing problems. I've got the recall notice for the backup camera, but it works fine for me now. I got a 7-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, but haven't used it for anything.

One thing... make sure you get zero deductible for windshield replacement. I think most would agree that it is worth it. Just had mine done and it would have been $1100 if I had to do it.

New manual transmission at 20K miles.
The MIC top is rattly hot garbage.
Recalls for rear shocks and backup cam.
I’d definitely buy it again though.

My biggest issue has been needing to reset my rear windows more often than I would like. They don't like to stay up
