Anyone else having reception issues with certain radio stations or most of them? XM sat. stations seem to work better than the local stations.:rolleyes:

Sounds dumb, but check that your antenna was installed. When the vehicles are shipped they are so without the antenna screwed in. If it's not installed it will be in your trunk somewhere in a bag. The dealer is supposed to install but some times they forget/or just don't. If it is installed I'd say check to see if it's screwed on tight.

Mine seems to work better than my Mercedes. We live in an area where few over the air stations reach and the Bronco still seems to pull in a few while the car gets one in ideal conditions.

I live 40+ mountain miles away from any station and the FM still works great. Better than my other two vehicles.
