Is the Bronco's class action lawsuit still going on? If so I'd apply after purchase.

Most of these people have no idea what they are talking about. There have been 2 widespread reliability problems and 1 less widespread but still a bit worrisome.

The 2.7 engine problem was traced to a single lot of bad valves from a vendor that affected the 2.7 engine for a single build month on the 2021’s.

The hard top issue was traced to bad tooling on the roof vendor which also only affected 2021 models and has been fixed.

There have also been some reports of fuel pump failures towards the end of the 2021 model year into the early 2022 model year. These reports seemed to have died down in the last 6mo.

I have a 2022 badlands Sasquatch.

What about the super tough tie rods that are equivalent to spaghetti noodles?

Have a 2022.
It’s not my everyday driver but I love it. Drives great, does what I need to when I take it to our farm land. Cleans up nicely for a night out.

Hang on, you’re comparing a Ford fricking Escapes durability and issues to a brand new Bronco?
Jesus Christ this board never disappoints.

No it’s crap. I used to work for Ford. I left about the same time the Bronco was announced. It was a pos then and still is. I left because couldn’t work for a shite company. Used to be a great company, one of the best, but now quality doesn’t matter to the bigs.

I have a 21. Daily driver. No issues at 6k miles.

To the idiot that said they are underpowered. I have the turbo 4. 300 hp 300 LB ft torque. My turbo doesn't even spool unless I really step on it.

Drives nicer and better seats than a Wrangler.

Just keep in mind, it's built to be a very capable off road vehicle. It's not a luxury vehicle.

You can get them at MSRP if you shop around.

They are also easily accessorizable, if you like to tinker.

The only model that’s worth a shite is the Braptor.

I’m pretty sure I know what I’m talking about having worked for Ford several years. It’s a shite vehicle. Sure you may find one to last a few years without any issues, but it is not the quality that Ford is known for in their trucks. Not worth the money.

I have a 2021 bronco and there’s been exactly one recall for child safety locks that may or may not work.

That's common with any soft top, any brand, make, etc. It is what it is when you want a removable top.

From everything I have seen and researched, the soft tops are horrible.
