We love our BS.... but name one thing you dislike about it

[B-rad]

Great idea on the wireless charge pad. Fits my phone like a glove. Too bad the new iPhones require more power to charge wirelessly and Ford missed that.

Otherwise, I'm still amazed how well this thing handles any terrain. I'll miss my quiet stock tires when they wear out and something bigger and louder is mounted on it.

No auto dim rear view mirror.

We have had ours for a little over 4 months & 7,000 miles & the only thing we hate is the glare off the 2 bumps in the hood.

I have only a few mild-dislikes: shifter knob (I keep putting the car in park from reverse instead of drive and I DON'T KNOW WHY!) no auto dimming rear view mirror; I miss my one push UP button on the driver door. Otherwise, in love like I was with my Bronco II in the 90s.

I've only had mine for a few weeks now, but not being able to permanently turn off auto start stop is the biggest thing I've found so far. I know there's a 3rd party adapter, but I shouldn't need to.

Always drive in sport mode, or plug in a small led nightlight in the backseat outlet and auto-start/stop shuts off.

I wish that either Sport mode was the next mode after Normal, or that we could more quickly shift drive modes. The current dial and waiting for the graphic to come up is an annoyance compared to just pressing the "S" button on my fusion sport to get ahead of the other crossovers at the stoplight.

They do have a way to permanently turn off the Auto Start/Stop. Sport Mode.

3. The rear hatch doesn't automatically unlock with close proximity of the key fob. I guess I got a bit spoiled with that option on my Lexus, so it's not a showstopper, but does come in handy at times.

Unless I misunderstand what you are saying, it should. Here's a thread about the issue:

The way it shifts power around…like the limiting factors are the tires and height, the cars 4wd system is really good.

Worst for me is the badly designed sun visors that don’t fold forward to the proper distance to the windshield. ?
At fully extended, it covers up way too much of my view and if it could rotate just a few degrees more it would be perfect or at least good enough.

In mine, my first bad impression was the hard plastic steering wheel. I have added a decent cover to it, so it is not too bad now, but I wish mine had a leather wrapped wheel. Other than that, I wish it had a few inches more rear seat leg room (it is adequate for my family, but not by much). I wish I could keep the dome light on for reading without turning the ignition/accessory mode on every 15 minutes-ish. Other than that, I have liked most things about it.

Just small things they did to reduce costs. My BB only has one touch down driver side window. I wish it could do down and up. I have to scan my badge every time I go in and out of the garage at work. Slightly inconvenient to hold the window up.

Also wish the BB had the same headlights with the halo as the OBX and BL.

BB in Canada has the signature lighting.

Love my BS OB but if I could change one thing, I would add a pan/tilt to the bottom of the driver's power seat. I had to add a seat wedge cushion to get the proper driving angle and relieve pressure from the back of my thighs. It looks a little tacky but does the job.

Agree. My Escape had a 10-way power seat with good thigh support and bolsters.

Ok coming from a 2011 Escape XLT Sport here are some things I do not like/Not used to yet... These are mainly minor stuff...

Driver Seat -If feels so much smaller compare to the Escape..rounder in front..It is softer and I don't know if it is me, but feels like I am sitting on spring/bar after sitting for 20+ min. My rump cheeks killing me!! This is my biggest complaint...others are nit picky minor stuff. Update: I now know what it is...it is the stitching in the seat! When sitting on it, it feels like I am sitting on a 1/4" Nylon rope! Don't notice it at firs, but like I mention, after 20+ min I feel it. Cushion to soft that the stichtching is holding me, not the seat. Foam needs to be a little firmer in my opinion and I am 5'8" at 190lbs. I feel sorry for those who are "Bigger" sitting in this thing since the seats are smaller.

Back Seats - Can't take the rear seats out as I could in my Escape to fold the back down flat.

Speedometer - To me, it feels more to the right compare to my Escape..So I don't notice it as well as I did in my Escape.. The Console feels more forward where in the escape it felt a little more tilted back.

Dash Display - This is minor..On my Escape I can show real time fuel usage. I know this can be done on the Bronco, but it is the only thing Displayed. I wish I could have the Digital Speed with the real time Fuel on the same screen. If you can, I haven't figure it out yet.

Door Arm Rest - In the Escape, when I drove with one hand, my elbow would site on the driver door arm rest.. Bronco is way lower and I am now finding my self putting my elbow up on top where window is.

Seat Manual - I have the Big Bend model, so the manual seats I am not used to where I had electric in the Escape...more control.

Hood - Boy am I not used to this yet...It is more square and out more compare to the Escape.. Can't tell how close I am to the curb when making a right turn..This will come in time.

Push Button Start - Boy am I not used to this yet!! Just doesn't feel right to push a button to start a car and I am IT Geek!!

The Shifter Knob - Why? Why did you take away my hand rest?? Why, oh Why!! I have nothing to hold when making a sharp left hand turn now

Delivery - $1500 to have it delivered! More than other dealerships where my Escape, was $750..Doubled in 10 years!! lol

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but someone on here popped their back bench out: https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/remove-rear-bench-seat-from-bronco-sport-how-to.1893/
