Hey all,

I just purchased a 2022 Wildtrak and am wondering if it is possible to raise the rearview mirror a few inches. I am a taller driver, so when I look at the rearview mirror it is about 1/3 of the way into the windshield. Are there any OEM fixes or aftermarket fixes?

Thanks!

Went to adjust my rearview mirror and it came off. Took not only the black electrostatic coating but a chunk of glass too. Went to auto store and bought a mirror adhesive kit as a hail marry and glued it back in, glass and all. Currently it is holding but I'm sure eventually the windshield will need replacement. Anyone heard of this before? 2022 Outer Banks

What should I add first?

I've always been obsessed with rat rods. Still am and honestly, a slammed old ass Jeep rat rod has always appealed to me to cruise down the strip in. These two aren't true rat rods but man that bronco would be a fun weekend cruiser. Something loud stupid and obnoxious that makes absolutely no sense lol

So long story short, I went to use the bronco earlier and noticed it didn't start up remotely. Thought that was weird but went outside and jumped in. Put my foot on the brake, hit the push to start and the engine didn't start. Bunch of warnings flooded onto the dash including...

Service AdvanceTrac
Park Brake Fault Service Now
PreCollision Assist Not Avialable

Fiddled with it for a minute or two and did get it to start but shifting into drive/reverse, the car immediately shuts down and starts beeping like crazy.

It was getting dark so I didn't have much light, but I popped the hood to see if I saw anything like chewed wires as the neighborhood squirrels have a habit for chewing on our cables. I didn't see anything under the hood but like I said it was getting dark so I'll check tomorrow. I closed the hood am now getting a Hood Ajar warning, so there's definitely some sensor completely borked.

I grabbed the code reader and got 2 codes from it.

P0035 - Turbo Charger / Super Charger Bypass Valve A Control Circuit High
U060B - Lost communication with Turbo Charger / Super Charger Boost Sensor A

Can't really get a hold of my mechanic or the dealership until Monday, but just wondering if anyone has a clue whats going on. I'm no mechanic but I'm competent enough to do minor repairs, which is what I'm hoping this is, but sort of already know its not going to be.

i've been in love with the outdoors for as long as I can remember, and I've seriously considered, wanting to get into offloading and camping more often. Now as I look for a car, that's both capable and well made for off Roading, It was clear to me that I liked the Jeep Wrangler, but not it's reliability. This pointed me towards the Ford bronco, with its apparent reliability and sleeper design compared to the jeep, which is what I wanted.

Now the real question is, how is the reliability, maintenance demand, and struggles of owning the car?

I see people all the time staying there is thousands of problems, but I never see anyone stating that there's good in it, now I'm thinking that the problems may be from just them select a few that unlucky enough with their car, and I'd still have a good chance if I bought one?

(PS I don't know much about the car itself and am curious)

I’ve always been spoiled by reliability, and as a proud 10th-gen Honda Accord owner, that’s something I’ve come to appreciate. I bought my 2018 Accord as a certified pre-owned vehicle in June 2021 with only 37,000 miles. Now, with 153,000 miles on the odometer, it ironically runs better than when I first drove it off the lot.

I live in Utah and have been considering a more off-road-capable vehicle. As someone who enjoys the outdoors and is a big gun enthusiast, the Ford Bronco stands out to me as the most capable option. I recently test-drove three different 2024 Bronco models and absolutely fell in love with them. I also checked out the newly redesigned 4Runner, but it just didn’t feel right for me, even though I know it offers better reliability.

So, for current Bronco owners—what has your experience been like? What’s gone right, and what issues have you encountered? I’ve read mixed reviews about its reliability, so I’d love to hear firsthand feedback. Thanks in advance!

I drive a 23’ obx. Forgot to switch back to 2wd from 4H Slippery mode after ice storm. Roads were fine, paved and clear. Thought I heard the engine working harder and noticed my error. Nothing unusual when switching gears. Should I be concerned? I hate that I didn’t notice sooner.

Hey y’all. I am interested in getting a hitch installed for my OB. I don’t plan on getting a trailer or camper. Just want it for a bike rack or a small platform for luggage /Home Depot runs. Should I buy it/ and have it installed by the dealer ? I was told I can purchase the hitch receiver (from ford or other ) and install it myself, and that I’d only need the dealer to run the wires for brakes and signals for towing, which I don’t.

Bought an old bronco ii in okayish shape but instrument panel and lights dont work so first step is check fuses. I cant figure it out how to get the cover panel off, the manual i have doesnt say, and all the videos i find are for 1990 and later.

I also had a '96 back in the day.

In my area there arent very many of these. I never see them driving and there is ONE at a dealer within 50 miles and its black. I dont get the luxury of seeing the colors in person before buying.

I've been dead-set on cyber orange, but I cant help but worry it is going to look ridiculous in person. I usually buy gray cars. I just think most cars look best in gray, but figured I'd go with something more fun. Hopefully not a mistake.

Hey everyone,

I've got a 2021 4dr Badlands and, much to my dismay, it is in the shop on my 1-year anniversary of buying it (bought used on Jan 29, 2024). It is by far the most fun vehicle I've ever owned and I plan on being a Bronco owner for a long time. With that said, it is in the shop getting diagnosed for a metallic sound driving at low speed (probably slight damage from a trail I was on last month), the front USB module dying, and for shaking/check engine light when I was accelerating quickly on the highway a few weeks ago. That only happened once, but was still concerning.

I've never had a relationship with service or parts departments at a dealership until this past year because I've had to bring it in for so many minute issues. Between actual maintenance and the concerning recalls that seem to keep popping up (engine valves, and now suspension), I'm wondering if it may be time to start considering my next Bronco, which leads to the questions in the title.

If I were to get another Bronco, I would likely target whatever the current model year is when purchasing, whether it be this year or next or whatever. How does ordering online work? Does financing get done before or after delivery of the vehicle? If I have a vehicle to trade in, how does that work?

In general, if what I'm looking for is pretty common on lots at any given time (2/4dr Badlands SAS w/ lux package), is there any advantage to ordering rather than just going and grabbing one from the dealership? I know there probably aren't any or at least not many '25s on the lot now, but I wouldn't be doing this for a handful of months at the earliest anyway.

I love my Bronco and have about 50k more miles on the warranty, so I may end up riding it out until around 2027, but as someone who tends to be a bit of a road tripper and always chasing trails, I'm getting a little concerned about reliability.

I have a 2024 Badlands, non Sasquatch and a friend said I can have his pull off SAS wheels. Can I put my stock K02s (285/70R17) on the SAS wheels (17 in x 8.5 in with a +30 offset). Anyone have a photo of this setup?

About to buy a bumper and upgrade from “plastic”. Seeing ok deals for “modular” ones in my area but kinda leaning towards “capable”. One factor is the weight.

Anyone know for sure how much each of the Bronco bumper options weigh without front bash plate.

Greatly would appreciate the info

Hi All,

As the title says - currently looking at a '22 ford bronco big bend.

It is listed at ~$41,000 w/ just over 21,000 miles - I found a '23 same trim w/ 15k less miles for $44,500 - but it can't be sold due to open recall, so I already know this one is wayyyy overpriced.

I have a rule of thumb that a car loses 25% of it's value within it's first year or just even when you drive it off the lot.

By that rule of thumb, the car should be sitting around $37,500 (not including the BS add-ons, such as VIN etching).

Any and all suggestions on price would be appreciated - the car is also gold certified so it qualifies for atleast better APRs.

Thanks!

I just bought a 2024 big bend 2 door new in December I’ve drove it about 700 miles and I’m already at about 93% oil level. Is this normal or something I should get looked at by the dealer?

I have an order for a 2025 with a dealership (no deposit, said when it gets here if you don’t like it you can just walk away) and a friend of mine was saying that another dealership gave their friend 10k off MSRP for an F150 just to spite the other dealership. Should I call around to other dealerships and see if they would beat my current offer? When I originally ordered in the beginning of November no one could but maybe things have changed now that production has started.

Odd question .... Does anyone know if, when you set a schedule start from the Ford app, is the schedule added to the computer right away and stored in the truck's memory until the start time?

Or

Is the scheduled start command sent from the Ford service right at the scheduled time?

I'm asking because I was camping in my Bronco in weather below freezing. I had an electric heater, a little bigger than a deck of cards, that I had plugged into my power bank. It worked perfectly!

Buuuuuut the battery was drained just as I was waking up. It made me think about setting up remote start to charge the portable battery bank just a little but I had no reception at my campsite.

Is there a way to set it up without needing reception? Can the Ford app connect to the Bronco's wifi/bluetooth and be able to add a scheduled start?

Is it just me or does that look like a gen1 bronco?
