Went down the rabbit hole on Youtube regarding the Bronco

....then the tie rod snaps... I won't get into the leaking issues

Aren't the tie rods snapping on people running massive tires and then loading the vehicle off camber? Should be no surprise there.

Pretty sure most vehicles off roading like that need additional support. Just look at all the truss and gusset kits available for Jeep axles. Wrangler guys practically rebuild the driveline just to wheel 37s without breaking.

what issues? I haven't seen any on here. just some jack ass who had his ranger repoed and nissan was the only company that would finance so jack ass came on here to start stoopid thread about "I can't reach in the bed WWWAAAA ? " remember that? maybe I should go resurrect it so Dave will come back

the ranger is the red headed step child of the F.O.R.D. line up. that's why all trim levels get the same engine and power

Oh I don't know , maybe fuel diluting the oil , transmission issues , driveshaft issues , water leaking into the cabin , water rusting the sparkplugs , service brakes problems , HVAC issues , tailgate needing a damper etc.

Then there's this ,LOL

If Badlands didn’t have the horrid orange interior accents, I perhaps would have sprung for the non-Sasquatch Manual Badlands.

One of Ford's biggest blunders was tying the interior trim accents to the model trim. All trims suffer from this except the Base and you can no longer order one of those . It entirely depends on the exterior color choice as to whether or not it looks totally ridiculous . I'm not a fan of orange but it looks well with the Area51 color so I left it as is. You can change everything out to another color rather easily though , except for the seat stitching and it's not that noticeable.

We run the Bronco hard (no tie rod issues because we have not lifted it improperly or messed with the geometry)... No leaks in our hard top, nor did we have any in the first Bronco with Soft top. Remember - Social Media - People with issues scream the loudest.

I did things backwards. I ordered a bronco an then went to youtube researching it! I've had my bronco for almost a month an honestly I miss a lot of things about the ranger. If I had gotten a four door I probably would still own it. I've been hauling people an grandkids more an more. I like the ride quality an maneuverability of the bronco better. The transmission shifting is NIGHT AN DAY BETTER! One thing I hate is there's only 10 total presets on the radio. I like 10 sirius radio stations alone not counting my local news/sports on am/fm. The ranger was tuned an I thought it was a blast to drive. I think the seats in the ranger are better too. Once the bronco has a few thousand miles of break in I'll probably tune it an make it feel more like home. down the road I may look for a reg cab early 2000's ranger just to have a truck on hand an one with a bed my old @$$ can climb in an out of.
