Has anyone found a seatbelt/ harness for their pups? Our current set up is just back seats down and windows open. We’ve never had an issue but I think I’ll need some type of harness when we have the top down.

has anyone thought about this?

They sell ones on Ford Accessories. I just ordered a hammock since our dogs slide on the MGV.

My favorite thing is the Off Road Cruise Control.

This is the only thing that I will miss about not getting the automatic transmission, it's a very nice feature especially when off-roading in a group.

Ya. I have used the dinosaur methods of granny gears but wow. This made it so much safer for a novice and easy mode for experienced drivers.

I took my bronco apart today and fixed the window drop and sub rattle. I used Noico 80mil sound deadening and felt tape.

Several members posted instructions for the cargo trim removal and window drop adjustment. I’m am very happy with both results. Doors open without any window grab and there is no sub rattle. It also drastically reduced any ticking or clicking while driving.

Did you have a problem with the windows since delivery, or did it develop over time ?

Beautiful! This is ours exactly (x/4 the wheels, it looks like)

You've got great taste!

Since delivery.

Since delivery.

Gotcha. When you did get yours?

What were they doing exactly? Shaking when you opened them?

 

[Tortuga353]

1/28/22 and yes, sticking and shaking. Mainly passenger rear. It was uneven with rear of glass about 1-4 mm higher than front.

For those that have taken delivery. How much time on average do you spend sitting in your Bronco each day? And how many random trips have you taken to get outdoors?

I feel like I won't be around town very often on the weekends and will likely time my lunch breaks to when my daughter gets out of kindergarten just so I can drive to pick her up instead of eating. Also, technically my router is closer to the garage than my office so if the signal is stronger does that mean I will get more work done from the Bronco?

During the week mostly just errands.

But on the weekends, I love to point that horse's nose at a mountain and find roads I have never been on before.

Clocked about 200 miles Saturday morning and another 100 today.

There is a support group / train trackers anonymous for checking everyday and mapping it out, right?

We attended the Bronco Off-Roadeo Event this past weekend.

It was an amazing experience. As a long time off road enthusiast, I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised though. The facility was top notch.
The instructors were awesome and very good at what they do.
We had plenty of outdoor classroom instruction then a full day of practical useful instruction.
I am truly impressed how much effort Ford has put into the technology of these trucks.

I can honestly say that every Bronco Owner needs to go to this class.

The day started at 9AM with orientation in the classroom as a meet and greet with your fellow classmates and instructors.
We broke into groups of 8 and each family had their own Bronco for the day.
We were then led outside to the ORX Classroom, which consisted of basic instruction on how to use the various off road options including the G.O.A.T. modes. This lasted for about an hour then we broke off to drive our designated Broncos each with a handheld radio for communication. We had a lead instructor and a tail gunner.
Every truck was inspected for safety and we were off on a 1.5 hour get used to driving off road easy mode trail.
We returned to base camp for a quick Bio Break as needed and to gather snack as needed.
Then it was back to the trails for another hour then back to base camp for Lunch.
After lunch we started having the real fun with 4 hours on the trails.
This included lots of technical rocks climbing and cliff diving.
We learned how to use the various options such as Off Road Cruise Control that let us dial in a speed to go up and down hills with different obstacles. We learned how to use the Trail Turn Assist and manual modes to allow for Engine Compression Braking.
The final hour of the off road portion of the day was a the quick track. This was a 2 mile dirt track with plenty of room for learning how to handle driving in Baja Mode. The track speed limit was 25 MPH and we were encouraged to follow said speed limit. This by far was the most fun part of the day for me, as this was in my wheel house of off road experience. I was very impressed on how well the Bronco did out there. I experimented with the different GOAT Modes and found my most fun setup was Baja Mode, 2H Traction Control Off. The throttle was very responsive and the drift was very predictable.

We returned to Base Camp for a nice Dinner at 6PM and shared our stories with our new friends.
Everyone exchanged pictures and contact information and spend money in the shop.
It was a great day.

Good morning all!!! Today’s adventure will be convincing my dealer to give me my rail car number. I really need to stalk (I mean track) my baby’s journey because we put my van up for sale yesterday and it sold immediately so now I am carless! Thankfully I still am very good at convincing my Dad he should help his absolute favorite daughter out by loaning me a car
