Oh, and the one where the engine moves in its mounts enough that the PS pulley hits the frame and the serp belt pops off and gets wrapped behind the balancer into and thru the front crank seal and leaves rubber and steel shards in the sump.

I just had the torque converter and transmission changed on my 2017 Ford explorer, at 53K. Thank god I had the CPO warranty. Took them 3 weeks and in the 2nd week they called and told me Ford would not cover under warranty, then backtracked when I pointed out they had a Tech Bulletin for the exact same issue that blamed their welding.
Could you imagine having to cough up for all that on a 53k car? Also have intermittent issues with Airbag lights that they want $250 to troubleshoot, even under warranty. Don't think I'm doing a Ford again after this one. |

The statement was made the Bronco and Wrangler are overpriced. Those definitely are all overpriced. Rubicon Wrangler w/ Xtreme Recon pack stands alone with its value and ability as an offroader. I want to see any of those three rock crawl some boulders straight off the lot. They are strictly mall crawlers now, no one wheels them anymore. Some guys are offroading the new Defender, but even it has it's limitations. Defender is a good overlanding or safari vehicle.

Has no one brought up all the Bronco motor failures? The NHTSA is currently investigating due to the number of failures. |

Some of the respondents who speak to build quality and reliability and NVH in this thread seem to not understand the MSRP base price of the Base trim 2-Door is $30,000. So regardless of how far you go up the trim levels the vehicle was designed to a $30K price point, which means the paint and interior trim reflects that price level. The trim levels generally add off-road capability rather than luxury as you go up the scale. The Outer Banks trim goes into a relative luxury mall-crawler model, but the Big Bend, Black Diamond and Badlands all increase the off-road capability of the Base model. The Wild track just throws in most all of the kitchen sink (the two packages that can be added to the trim levels). Considering Ford offers the Base trim with the highest capable off-road package (Sasquatch) says a lot about their intent for the Bronco. What also I think is missed is the Bronco is basically intended to be a dirt bike in automotive form. Either roof style is fully removeable and the doors are removable. The interior is expected to get dirty (dust, mud, moisture). In last 20 years or so, unless you've owned a Jeep CJ or Wrangler, there has been no vehicle offered in the USA with these attributes, which is a low-priced, modular, off-road capable SUV. For 14 years I owned a Base model YJ (the first Jeep Wrangler), which was a just modernized CJ to address the CJ's shortcomings related to its handling dynamics (rollovers). But it was still a sheet metal tin can with zero sound insulation, outdoor carpet, metal dashboard, and a flimsy cloth top with vinyl seats. It cost $12,500 in 1995, which is a $24K price point in 2022; I certainly didn't expect it to be a Range Rover. The new Ford Bronco meets that ethos as a low cost off roader automotive dirt bike. My Bronco is just under $39K, which is about $20.5K in 1995 dollars; it's a shitload nicer than my 1995 YJ. Comparing a Base 1995 YJ to a Base 2021 Bronco, the 1995 price of the $30K Bronco would have been just $16,000. Considering the equipment level of each, I'm not sure what there is to complain about.
