Two ways of looking at this in my opinion.
Glass half emptyā€¦first year concerns and some reservations
Glass half fullā€¦those that got them first are getting the bugs worked out before the North American release.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion

The day I dropped off the car for the HVAC replacement, I left a 4-pack of Monsters in the passenger seat and a note wishing the tech an easy repair. He wrote a thank you note on the back of the repair order.
Thanks for an awesome idea! Iā€™d never have thought of this but must try it now if ever I get a difficult issue. A little kindness goes a long way with your dealer to be sure.

I could tell you, but then Iā€™d have toā€¦
Three months with my Bronco and I have had several issues already. On top of getting a cracked windshield. That is a first in my 36 years of driving. Including two Jeeps. Beginning to think this thing has bad juju. Doubt I'd ever take a chance on a new model or first year major overhaul again.
Have 11000 miles on my ā€˜21 Bronco Badlands in all conditions on and off road in 8 months and was bulletproof. Had a 17 4-Runner that didnā€™t seem to be able to make it out of the driveway without something breaking. Itā€™s really hit and miss at this point.

If it helps, I bought a Gen 6 Ranger out here for the duration of assignment and will absolutely put it through its paces! Iā€™ve already taken it places and under conditions I never thought Iā€™d go, especially stock! Weā€™ll get the kinks worked out before it hits the States!

Here's a firm argument for not worrying about getting the first model year. Everyone's correct on here, there is problems with them, but there's problems every year.......
