The days of a very simple Wrangler like the TJ are long gone. Simplicity does mean more reliable though. My TJ was simple but was less reliable than my JK or JL. The TJ was cheap and easy to fix though.Yea, same. I wish the Sport was offered with no Uconnect, start/stop (get rid of the aux battery in the process), and push-to-start. It wouldn't be a popular setup, but at least an option that you could order from the factory.
I think those days are over now, though. There are too many safety and technology items that are required on cars and that many consumers demand. People seem to want more screens and bigger screens, so infotainment stuff isn't going away. Safety tech is definitely here to stay, and autonomous stuff is only going to get bigger.
I'd like to maybe go back to an older vehicle, but then many times you're gonna make painful sacrifices in basic stuff like seat comfort and general crash protection.
Which is something anyone who's owned a vehicle with frameless windows learns in about a day; it's really no big deal.One other thing. The frameless windows kept getting caught when I would open the door. I had to open the handle then pull the door slowly and allow the window drop a little.
All I know is my TJ was the single most unreliable vehicle I've ever owned.The days of a very simple Wrangler like the TJ are long gone. Simplicity does mean more reliable though. My TJ was simple but was less reliable than my JK or JL.
You can keep your fiat's, I'm getting something jeep won't be able to compete with for years......
That wasn’t my experience with my 2012 Mustang and my wife’s 2012 Camaro, both frameless. I never had to change my behavior at all with those cars and never had any issues with the windows whatsoever. I could open the door as quickly as I wanted.Which is something anyone who's owned a vehicle with frameless windows learns in about a day; it's really no big deal.
Whatever you say OJ!You can keep your fiat's, I'm getting something jeep won't be able to compete with for years......
As I’m sure you did the Rubicon and Moab with both?! Just saying...That wasn’t my experience with my 2012 Mustang and my wife’s 2012 Camaro, both frameless.

Just luck then.That wasn’t my experience with my 2012 Mustang and my wife’s 2012 Camaro, both frameless. I never had to change my behavior at all with those cars and never had any issues with the windows whatsoever. I could open the door as quickly as I wanted.
same here with my 2007 Sky.That wasn’t my experience with my 2012 Mustang and my wife’s 2012 Camaro, both frameless. I never had to change my behavior at all with those cars and never had any issues with the windows whatsoever. I could open the door as quickly as I wanted.
That wasn’t the question though; COBill was saying this is normal for cars with frameless windows, not specifically a Bronco thing, as seen below:As I’m sure you did the Rubicon and Moab with both?! Just saying...
Oh well that’s interesting, I only have significant experience with the Mustang and Camaro and didn’t realize that it’s normal practice to have to do what you said.Just luck then.
I'm on my fifth frameless window car and I still know to pull the handle, wait a half second for the window to drop then open the door.
Sadly most on the trails can't even accomplish what the stock Bronco will be capable of much less a stock Jeep so this isn't much of a threat. The Bronco will have zero problem following 95% of the people driving Jeeps out there.We look forward to seeing you on the trails...Follow at your own risk.
Same here. My '97 TJ was by far the most unreliable vehicle I have owned. Owned it for 240K miles. Parts failed all through my ownership not just as mileage went up. I have a 3" thick folder with receipts. I replaced just about every part possible. No joke, you name it and and it is probably 90% certainty I replaced it. It was still a lot of fun though. It did not scare me away from Wranglers. LOL.All I know is my TJ was the single most unreliable vehicle I've ever owned.
Anyone considering a Bronco should really grab the dash above the glove compartment and move it up and down and see if that's what they want to listen to for the next several years.
