Was This Bronco a $50K Mistake?!

“This base model Bronco I purchased has no options?? What a twist!”

If you wanted those features you should've gotten a better trim package. I have all of those things in my Bronco and they are nice. You got the wrong Bronco

Buys a base model and dislikes it. Wonder why...

So, all of your complaints are about things you want and could have gotten, but didn’t? Great review bro. I’ll be sure to tune in for more.

No keyless entry? Oh you poor girl.

Dude you bought a base coming from Euro sports cars, a Platinum, or Raptor with lots of options is crazy. Perhaps you would be happy in a G class or Range Rover? If you wanted more comforts minimum level would be an outer banks. This is a terrible review to compare a base. Base is a base.

So you bought something that' supposed to be a tough backwoods truck, but you can't handle anything beyond total 5 star comfort and luxury? Am I the only one that doesn't see the irony? Man, if you had to get out in the mud to engage lockers on your front hubs.... But I guess we had to be tougher back in the day.

There is a silver lining. With so few options there’s nothing to break. 😂

Wow so you go from other top models to a base model and you expect to have all the upgrades? Did you do research before you bought it? The higher trim level you go the more options you get, its the same with any vehicle. And the top comes off its known to have wind noise. Just sell this thing now and go back to your luxury german cars and save us all from having to listen to you complain about a base model not having any options.

I stopped watching after point two. Mine has all the “goodies” yours dosnt. Meaning the problems you are complaining about…are at your own fault…not the vehicles/ford. You decided to spec it like that. Blame yourself. Mine has keyless entry. Proximity sensors. Subwoofer. Full camera + birds eye. I mean on and on. This vehicle can come well equipped. You just botched it up and are now blaming the bronco. Please change the title or fix something because this is like someone not studying for a test, getting an F, and then blaming the teacher. Side note: I came from two brand new full loaded luxes vehicles.

Well, you certainly could have selected an up-level trim. Base is basic. Not BMW, Audi, Mercedes, VW basic. I ordered mine the way I wanted it, for the convenience items I wanted. The rest I knew I would be changing. That said, I have thoroughly enjoyed making my Bronco MINE. Yea, it cost a few bucks, but I’m taking a great platform and making it something that is uniquely mine.

Love my 2 door 23' Basesquatch! The 2.3 auto is fun and nimble onroad and a blast offroad. Put that thing in sport mode which automatically turns off the auto start / stop. The Ford Pass app is good to remote start and lock and unlock. The 2 door is much cooler than the moredoor Bronco 😂

I opted to stick with a explorer st instead just because I wanted features, comfort and more but I do love the bronco it just wasn't for me long term.

Got a 2023 Black Diamond in all black with mid package for $46k this week. Little under 50k after taxes and I don’t have a single regret. Gas mileage will suck but the Bronco is awesome. Looks bad ass. Drives well and taking off the top makes it a nice ride.

Personally the base with SAS package. It becomes as purest as you can get. I had a ranger XLT with great package but honestly only thing I missed was the key fob 2x to start instead of using the ford app every time. Speakers work great for me but also remember this is a bronco and it’s not built as a G wagon lol

cup holders on the front shocks, what more could you want?

Damn. I’m currently test driving a ‘23 Big Bend (base model as far as I know?) two-door with the Sasquatch package, it has the keyless entry, remote start, climate control, and I was actually impressed with the sound system personally. It has more options than I need or want. I like it just enough that I’m genuinely a little disappointed about taking it back to pick up my F250 lol.

“After owning a lot of German vehicles” and Porsche being one, buys a base bronco and cries about it being too base. He had platinum f150 and a raptor which are a lot more than a base bronco. What a baby. Gen z baby.

Research is important. The word base is clear that you get minimal options. Great thing you can add what you want, but keep in mind you get what you pay for. It’s going to require work, time, and effort to personalize your truck from here. People who purchase base like/want the work.

Could you do a tutorial on how to permanently turn off things like auto start/stop, and enable different drive modes?
