Your wish list for 2025 Bronco?

[Sherminiator]

I would like a more slanted windshield. Too many are getting wacked with rocks and stuff.

or Maybe a gorilla glass or some other toughened glass? I know Jeep is apparently using that now.

manual doors and windows, basic stereo, as few electronics as possible.

How about a redesigned instrument panel ditching the bar graph tach and speedo and put in real analog read outs? An option of no screen or at least be able to turn on the defrost without going to the screen. Those big screens are annoying with too many options. How about all knobs?

Only one word.

COYOTE.

Extra points if it’s in a 2 Door and called Warthog.

Unless it’s supercharged, the 2.7 performs much better than the coyote. I have them both in F150s and love both of the engines but the 2.7 blows away the 5.0 in every performance category, especially when towing in the truck. That being said, if the 5.0 was available, that’s what I would have for the fantastic exhaust sound.

When we’re discussing a glorious V8, I don’t care about performance. An EV motor will outrun any petrol engine, but…..

It’s a V8! And the sound alone is worth about 25 liters more of testosterone production and produces better results than Viagra ever will.

Most people won't buy it but I agree with you.

In 2023 Ford Media release occurred on August 11th, Build and Price went Live on August 16th.

Most of mine were mentioned above, but here's mine, not listed in any particular order (and I've bolded ones that I think we will see based on the Chinese model):

• Rear A/C
• A/C seats - they claim it's because of the "outdoor" ability, but that's BS, give it to me anyway
• Full digital cluster like the Raptor
• Option to add steel rear bumpers on wildtrak.
• Back cargo truck 110v outlet
• Better interior lighting
• Rain sensing wipers
• Memory seats/steering wheel/mirrors (this could be put in the gauge cluster via the steering wheel so they don't have to have the memory buttons on the removable doors)
• Full stop ACC, not the version that cuts out at 15 or whatever it is.
• BlueCruise option
• power outlet (usb or usb mini) behind the rearview mirror to plug in a dash cam instead of having to run a cord around the entire windshield to the dash-top plugs (They've already done this in Mustang)
• Built-in seatbelt pillar mounts for when you don't have passengers to keep them from flailing around with doors off
• pop-out rear windows like MOD top (the new painted top doesn't seem to have them)
• more solid cargo area cover that isn't too flimsy to flop around with the top off
• camera rear view mirror
• option for Raptor style fog lights in the modular front bumper.

I'm sure there are others, but that's what I can think of now.

Do people really like wireless chargers that much? I still haven't used one in a car that was half decent.

Ventilated seats would be my #1 though

I think I used it like once when I first got it - the big issue for me with the wireless chargers (in any vehicle really) is that it's in the same spot as one of the few storage compartments for random stuff (gum, pens, change, etc) - I can't store random stuff AND charge, so if I need to charge, I just plug it in.

Better interior material (something that doesn't scratch as easy). Storage above the sun visor. Shorter sun visors. About 6"-8" added to the total length behind the rear seat on the 2 door. This little bit of added length would be a huge improvement for larger coolers, slide outs etc., Rear AC vents for passengers. Rear tire swing out and drop down tailgate. customizable all digital gauge cluster. Larger fuel tank for 2 door. More towing capacity 5K.
By the way @Ford I am available to help consult on the new Bronco if you want a real world opinion.

I agree with the sunvisors being a bit shorter....they currently obstruct most of the windshield while down since they can't be flipped very far forward. I also wouldn't mind them raising the interior rear view mirror an inch or two more for the same reason.

+1 on the vented seats but would also add

1. memory seats (share car with ease)
2. Panic button on key depressed (so it doesn’t randomly go off in your pocket)
3. HUD

 

[heavyD]

I love HUD but I doubt that ever makes its way into a Bronco.

Ars Technica has an interesting story about "The 10 things car buyers say they want in their next car". Interesting what those are, although a lot of these are tech I wouldn't/don't care for:

1. Wireless phone charger
2. (tie) Backseat wireless charger
3. (tie) Heated and ventilated seats
4. Rain-sensing windshield wipers
5. (tie) Moonroor/sunroof
6. (tie) Shared driver profiles (Android Auto)
7. 110v plug
8. Rear sunshades
9. Rear cross traffic alert with automatic emergency braking
10. Built-in air compressor

Of course, 1/2 are LOL's for Broncos. You can put the charger in the Bronco, but the charger no need to work??

Ventilated seats would be nice with lux package.

We have 1/3ish/4?/5 /9.

10 would be AWESOME.

I personally would like nicer plastic and better interior everything, but that's just me... Also a way to option the Rock Jock AntiRocks and maybe even 74W portals (done right).

What is the Bronco missing that would make it's features really stand out?

My LUX OBX has 7 and 9 stock. The outlet is on the back of the center console facing the rear seats. 10 would be amazing. The wireless charger is terrible and could cook an egg.

My girlfriend and I would both do immediate orders if they brought the base model back. It was literally perfect.

We were waiting like a year and a half to do orders for the manuals because they stopped them for a loing time, then as soon as the 7 speed came back they dropped the Base model and we were heartbroken. We arent spending 7k more for a Big Bend for the extra stuff we dont want.

They don’t make base models anymore? I have a 23 Base Sasquatch. Wow… I must be living under a rock. That sucks.

Since many folks remove the hard top and use a shade top of some sort, it would be great if Ford created connection points in the cage for these shade tops. Simple threaded holes to allow hold down points for these tops would be terrific. Eliminate the Velcro tapes, and bungee cords.
