Interesting Dealer call this weekend

Leave it to ford to copy Jeeps design. Thank you, I was unaware.
I still stand by my statement, the Bronco is bad ass at the 40k price point. At 65k it has too many issues for the money.

I can't say you are wrong, and you've made good points, but I also think car prices generally are entirely too high across the board and you don't really get all that you should at those prices. I have a loaded 2023 WT that fortunately I got at MSRP with price protection. I came from a late model Audi A5 S-line. While it was a cool car, it had far more rattles than my WT and the tech was far more glitchy. In that sense, my WT has been a pleasant surprise, and Audi kind of bothered me. Sure the WT is much louder, but it has been a wonderful road trip car, and certain things were expected given its purpose built nature. You are right though, a Bronco shouldn't cost $65k. I did spend $120 to buy hood struts. Should have come with them.

Name one model year 2022, $65k vehicle that doesn’t have a hood strut.
Also what’s up with the floppy ass hood at highway speed? I’ve owned a lot of vehicles, I’ve never had one who’s hood violently shakes at 60mph, let alone one at $65k price point.

I had a new 2018 JK Wrangler Unlimited and the hood violently shook at 60 MPH...let's just say it only lasted 4 months. Total garbage can and by far the worst vehicle I have ever owner.

I have a 2 door OuterBanks on order, being built the week of June 20th, looking forward to joining the club as I've been waiting 18 months now.

In mine the heat works pretty well the a/c not so much, most everything else you commented on I am not very concerned with. The MIC though, just had my rear section replaced due to delamination on the edges. I have a 4dr BD 2.7 (blowed up). Changed tires to 285/75 17. In my mind the BD trim is a good compromise if you are not into high tech but want more off road features than a base. The wonderful thing is there are enough choices to cover almost any one's idea of the perfect build.

Very happy and satisfied with my '23 Big Bend Sas. V6 & Mid-pkg. I'll agree the base stereo is awful and I'd like the adjustable shoulder belt anchors. 1300 miles, I haven't even lifted the hood yet so no comment on the lack of gas struts. I'll fix the stereo to my own liking, the belts are a different story. Biggest complaint is the goofy instrument cluster. Why can't I have a big analog Tach and Speedo with gauges for Oil Pressure & Temp, Coolant temp, Volts and Trans temp? I'd gladly have paid more for that dash. I think satisfaction with a vehicle is directly proportional to the deal you got. If you paid list or below, you probably feel good about the Bronc. If you paid 5-10k over or more, you probably feel ripped off, and you should. But worse, you only have yourself to blame.

Seriously! TACH people! Far more important than speedometer. I want to know trans and oil temp, heck even an engine hour meter would be nice.
