Positive Review
I had a 18 honda crv and felt bored and everyone has one. This suv was definitely not the crown honda raves about. Seen a bad lands 6 weeks ago and became obsessed. After looking I realized you cannot get one easy. 4 weeks, 118 miles and buying sight unseen or have driven one I bought it over the phone. This is not me or my personality. I crewed off every finger nail till I got to the dealership. I seen my grey cactus waiting for me. Feel in love from that day on. No issues with it in 5 weeks. I get looks and stopped weekly with questions. People go nuts and want my opinion. Only car I look at daily and drive that I havea huge smile. Love the 2.0 v4 turbo. It flies. Not a single regret and thank you ford for my love.
Critical Review
Ordered a lovely cyber orange color Bronco sport , production delays and i’m still waiting. I see stock car getting to dealers but not my customer order. It’s a fairly simple Badlands version with a tow package . I found almost the same suv just delivered to a dealer but without the tow package AND a $5000 over sticker cost! (Where’s mine?). If I’m going to spend $40k on a vehicle I’m not buying off the lot and getting more or less that I want , I expect to have this car for 15 years as my retirement vehicle and don’t want to live with a compromise! Fortunately I can wait. But it’s disappointing to see stock builds getting priority over a customer order. I guess Ford wants to protect their dealers who are struggling with lack of product to sell. Maybe I can update this if I ever get to drive it!

Looks amazing, great seats, great audio quality, 4x4
Wind noise, cabin noise
I purchased my 2025 Bronco Big Bend brand new on June 2, and the day I picked it up I noticed a loud, constant noise coming from the rear passenger window area. On the highway, it drowns out everything — even the radio. My salesperson told me to “just take the top off and put it back on” (I have a hard top). My local dealership experience has been horrible. I’ve brought it in multiple times, only to be told no one could help me despite having appointments. When the back trunk window seals came off and let rain flood into my Bronco, they fixed that but ignored the noise. When a tech finally rode with me, he immediately said the sound was not normal. A month later, they told me it is normal. If this is normal, I don’t want the Bronco. My dad’s lifted Jeep Wrangler with 37-inch tires and a soft top was quieter than this.

This is my 2nd Ford Bronco. After someone ran a red and totaled my 2022 Bronco Outer Banks, I knew I had to try and find something as close to the same as what I had. Autotrader and KBB helped me research available autos and fair market values, so I knew I was getting a great deal when I found this 2023 Outer Banks. The sleek exterior with body color mouldings and the leather interior is a beautiful, classy vehicle that feels like driving in luxury. But when the sun is out, being able to take the tops (and even the doors) off and crank the B&O speakers is the most fun way to experience a summer drive. Admittedly, it's not a perfect vehicle- the fuel efficiency is not great- 18mpg is a burden on the pocketbook. But as far as safety, comfort, and enjoyment go- the new Ford Bronco Outer Banks cannot be beat!
Looks Awesome, Excellent off road capabilities, 9/10 features
No memory seats, limited visibility while towing, Hard top removal is cumbersome.
I just currently bought a 2021 Wildtrak Bronco and from an exterior standpoint, it's a very nice looking car. Being able to take the roof/doors off is a pretty amazing feature and only the Jeep Wrangler can compare. The power in the V6 while towing and the suspension does not disappoint. However I found the location of the hitch to be cumbersome and kind of wonky. The spare tire does get in the way and affect visibility in that area. My ford explorer has a much better setup and view. I love my 12 inch screen but feel like the speedometer dash runs short. I hate the fact that it does not have memory seats and actually assumed it had them until I brought it home. Such a weird thing not to have on a newer vehicle. For what the Bronco was made to be, an off-road vehicle, it's top notch! It just takes some getting used to as I'm coming from a platinum explorer which is a much more luxurious and upscale ride.
FUN!!!
NONE
I have a 2024 outer banks and yes I agree road noise is not good, and I agree the B @O radio is not great but a 500 watt subwoofer in the rear fixes that and the fact that its a soft top convertible means it has road noise so if that bothers you buy a Lexus. I wanted to take the top down crank up the radio and have FUN!!!!! and now at 61 yrs old I feel 21!!! JUST ENJOY YOU WILL LOVE IT

Roof is noisy
We’ve had a 2021 Bronco First Edition (4dr) since it was new. I found the transmission is very smooth, the gearing is great, and engine is powerful enough for what it is. The engine and exhaust sounds very good - not too much noise but enough to put a smile on your face. Despite all the naysayers, Ford did a good job with this rig. The only quirky things I’ve noticed is the frameless windows are finicky and require a reset every now and then. And the interior can be bit noisy at freeway speeds due to the modular top.
Been looking for a manual transmission bronco and finally purchased. It’s fantastic, be aware some of the manuals have an issue with the transmission in 1st and second gear when it’s cold out so I would test drive before buying and do research. Luckily it’s an easy fix if it is an issue.
The Everglades could have easily been 10-15k more expensive with all the additional perks you get for free. The versatile truck is amazing 10 out of 10
