2022 Ford Bronco 2dr SUV 4WD (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 7M)
16 of 20 people found this review helpful
Owner of a 2022 2dr 7mt 2.3l bronco. The Bad stuff first and the reason it's a 3.7. 1. The issues that may or may not happen but are common to uncommon. Like the parking brake malfunctioning for me twice. Hardtop issues, grinding noise issue for manuals (not me yet), electrical issues, and a few other to name. 2. Ford. Ford is pretty terrible. Just hope you have a backup vehicle if you need to get warranty work done cause it rare the dealership will provide a loaner and good luck finding good technicians too. The Good 1. Handling/Turn radius. It's great and turns like it's small sports car 2. Speed/acceleration. Pretty good for how heavy and box shaped it. 3. Ride quality. Great on and off road and superior to jeep. 4. Exterior. It will blend in with the jeeps from time to time but also stands out amongst the crowd. 5. Interior. It's average. nothing great but it will do. 6. MISC. G.O.A.T Mode is really great for all sorts of conditions. There are tons of aftermarket items for the Bronco and it's highly customizable. I would give this a 4.5 but after the warranty work I've had to get done on 3 different things and 1 thing multiple times. I have to give it a 3.7. If you get the grimlins out of the Bronco it's great.

2 door Outer Banks with the 2.7-liter V6 & Lux Pkg

2022 Ford Bronco Outer Banks 4dr SUV 4WD (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 10A)

I have the Outer Banks with the 2.7-liter V6 and let me tell you, that is the engine you want to go with! Power is amazing and it's smooth as silk with the 10-speed auto. I had an F150 with the 10 speed and it was ok, but they got it right with this vehicle! I had two issues with the Bronco. The wind noise was bad but I had the seals replaced under warranty and the noise is down considerably. The B&O sound system is just ok. It comes set in "stereo" mode and that sucks so I changed it to Surround mode and it's a whole lot better but not as superb as I had hoped. Plus, the subwoofer rattled with any volume over level 15 and there's 29 levels of volume. The dealership attempted to fix it by adding more insulation and it helped a little, but it still rattles. It's something I'll live with for now. I may have a proper audio shop either re-insulate it or change out the subwoofer all together. those aside, it's a great vehicle and the 2 door looks awesome! Maybe not as practical for some but I rarely have more than just me and my spouse in the vehicle. With the rear seats folded down it provides more than enough room for larger items. The drive is smooth and not jarring at all. The turning radius is awesome and it's fairly comfortable in long range trips. I do find the seats are good but not great. Took a 13-hour drive and had some butt pain but that's to be expected after that amount of time.

2023 Ford Bronco Black Diamond 4dr SUV 4WD w/Advanced 4x4 (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 7M)
7 of 8 people found this review helpful
To clarify first two things, ours is the 2.7L 6 cylinder Black Diamond. Edmunds did not have the proper configuration in their drop down menu. I have owned many 4x4 vehicles throughout my life and actually use my 4x4s as they were intended but without heavy trail use, I am also a retired professional mechanic. We special ordered our 2023 Bronco new and have been driving it for just over a year. In that time we have experienced multiple and repeated electronic issues that have effected the infotainment system, engine management system and vehicle management system. These issues crop up roughly 50% of the time we drive the Bronco. We have brought our Bronco back to our dealer twice and each time we have been told that there is "Nothing we can do because it is a known issue to Ford" and that "Ford is working on an over the air update fix that will be released sometime Q4 2024". I have contacted Ford corporate directly about this issue three times and after thoroughly explaining what is happening each time Ford breaks contact and I never hear from them again. Issues started roughly 4 months after purchase and BEFORE our vehicle ever even saw a dirt road. Our infotainment system (touchscreen in the middle of the dash) would freeze and would eventually go completely black only coming back on after the Bronco was turned off for 10-15 minutes. Annoying but not the end of the world. After experiencing the infotainment system malfunctioning 5-10 times the more concerning issues with the engine management and vehicle management system started appearing. At this time we started getting messages on the gauge cluster that there was a "parking brake failure". These messages would ONLY appear when the infotainment system was malfunctioning and would appear both while parked and while driving. At the same time we started getting oil temperature warnings. Checking the oil temp gauge would show that the temp was at redline. This happened both while driving at normal highway speeds with the Bronco unloaded and once while towing an empty 5x8 flatbed trailer. Again this only happens while the infotainment system is malfunctioning. Our next set of issues happen 90% of the time we drive the vehicle even when the infotainment system is functioning properly. We do not experience a consistent or smooth idle. While the digital readout shows steady idle it does not read to the 10th (15xx) RPM. After attaching my scan tool I have found that the idle surges by roughly 50 RPM every 10-15 seconds. At steady highway speeds, constant 60-70 MPH, you can feel a slight surge in the power of the vehicle. I have not measured the RPMs at speed but it feels like there is also a 25-50 RPM variation when held steady at speed. For those times that our Bronco is functioning properly it is the most capable, comfortable and maneuverable (for its size) 4x4 I have ever owned. When it is functioning properly it makes for a very good daily driver that is just as comfortable getting groceries as it is taking a fire road in the mountains. Sadly though the issues outweigh the positive aspects of the vehicle. Our trust in our Bronco as well as Ford as a manufacturer have been eroded. After speaking with former colleagues, current mechanics and fellow enthusiasts it seems that these issues we have been experiencing are being experienced by many other Bronco owners. If I were to do it all over again I absolutely not purchase a Bronco.

Traded my 2021 wrangler for a 2022 bronco

2022 Ford Bronco Big Bend 4dr SUV 4WD w/Advanced 4x4 (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 7M)

This vehicle is amazing!! The handling and ride is soooo smooth compared to my 2020 gmc sierra 1500 to my 2021 Jeep wrangler. I would recommend everyone to drive one! I have no regrets and it feels good to love to drive again! The Jeep was so uncomfortable when it came to the seats and ride quality. I was looking at changing suspension etc to get more from it but I’m glad I decided to checkout the Bronco. 10/10 would recommend.
