Good for the aftermarket people. I don’t think the type of buyers are interested in changes as much as other drivers who lease vehicles every five years and need something different to trade in for.    Ford has generally done a good job with updating the current Bronco without making huge changes to it. Thinking the dash changes, the different colored hard tops and different trims/grills on it. 

One of the few vehicles I would argue doesn’t need majors design changes.

Ill go out on a limb...the Stroppe is horrible.....WAAAAAY too many colors clashing....same with the rainbowed Bronco Sports...WTH???? we couldnt sell the damn things until we REMOVED the wraps...

Im sure Ford sees more return on racing than selling trucks that the general public basically ignores or hates because they are fucking up traffic in some form.    Just because they did that 40-50 years ago doesn’t mean it’s profitable anymore today. 

Looks like all the important buttons are at the bottom of the screen and not buried in a submenu. 

Unless you want to ban cell phones, drivers are already distracted, so it doesn’t matter. 

I 100% agree that buttons/knobs are better than things hidden in the menu (for most things).  I hate that my heated steering wheel button in my F350 is a soft button.     More things to go wrong?  Not really, unless you take the screen out completely.  Electronics are typically longer-lived than their mechanical counterpart anyway.   You don't have to like it, no.  But, you would be in the minority.  It's a huge selling point, and if you don't have it, you fall behind and lose buyers.  Change is inevitable, but we don't have to like it.

I've noticed it, but that doesn't mean we have to like it. More things to go wrong and more things to distract the driver.

I've noticed that many reviewers agree with people like myself, in that many controls work better as buttons/knobs than hidden in some submenu. The fact that screen size is listed as a big comparison element in some articles makes me cringe for modern car buyers.....

Well I went to the Ford website and using my zip code did a search for "Commercial Dealers"...there is no choice for "Pro"-only "Commercial".  10 came up and of the 10 one was a Class 8 dealer in the "old days".  That dealer started as a Pete dealer  then was sold and it became a Ford dealer until the end.  It now handles International and Fords at that location.   We are 27 years out since Ford pulled the plug, so how many old guys-like me- with a memory from those days are around.  It is a new market. I still say Ford could continue in that market for class 6 and 7 with very few costly spec additions.  I guess though that Bill Ford will have to intervene for that to happen because Farley doesn't see the potential and would rather spend huge dollars on Formula 1, IMSA, and the Dakar rally.🤔
