Thanks! Yeah I've had nitto ridge grapplers and Toyo Open Country CT now on my last couple trucks... the Toyo's are my fav so far. The bfg will be my winter tires. Unless they suck. Then I'll put on the other wheels with the toyos that do very well in the rain and what snow I have seen. (not much)
My view is the Goodyears don’t cost $140 each more from tire rack, ($18 ea more), and they are new / unproven, so why spend the money on them for a first set?
Cactus Gray looks different in every photo. Looks amazing in person though. Congrats and enjoy!
The calculated size they should be is out. Real world measurements are a different story which is why I'm guessing you don't have the number either. Lol
I will see what I can do, it went form 80s to 60s and rain here in Northern MI today
Congrats it looks great! My specific question: How is the MGV with the dogs? Any concern about their nails ripping the material?I won’t get into to much detail, because enough good reviews have been posted. But I will try and hit on a couple of themes from the forum.
1. I took delivery yesterday at noon.
2. The dealer was great, Z plan honored, good deal on Ford warranty (first time I have bought one since the 90s).
3. Fit and finish is good. Top is definitely not the highlight of said fit and finish. Works well, quiet, but definitely gave away the headliner to cover the finished product IMO.
4. 2.7 is solid. Feels like the F150 acceleration and shifting wise. 10sp is not noticeable already. It should get even better in 1k miles or so.
5. Screen and cameras (High Package) are awesome. I would have been disappointed personally if I didn’t get them. I was torn, because the 8” screen was adequate, but wow, the 12” and cameras are the bomb.
6. No mirror whistle yet.
7. Had the front section of top off, got a pop up shower and the seats got wet, wet dogs, interior definitely seemed built for it. Popped the tops on, jumped in and good to go.
8. Took it on some seasonal roads, played with the modes (was in sand and used sand mode). Used trail turn assist to do a donut. The modes were cool, worked well and made sense. I think they will be better than I expected.
9. 18.6 mpg per the computer in mixed driving 100miles.
10. Stereo is just OK. Not as bad as I expected. It won’t be as high on my list of add ons as I initially guessed.
I can try and answer other questions if you have something Badlands specific?
I put a seat cover in that we use with our Explorer. It fit and worked well. My female is a bit of a beast (70 lb American Bulldog Mutt) and she put the only tear in my boat vinyl, so anything is possible. That being said, It feels substantial and I wouldn't hesitate to let my "normal" dog ride without a cover.
It's not the liner that I noticed, it was the exposed underside MIC material. So far I have zero issues with the actual top, noise or headliner, but if I do, Hothead looks like a great solution.Dayum Matt, that thing is absolutely perfect. Great color combo. BTW, keep an eye out for the Hot Head head liners. I have them in my Wrangler, and they clean the underside of the roof up nicely. The materials are top notch, and the fit/finish is perfect. Mark @Hothead Headliners tells me as soon as he can get his hands on a Bronco he will design the liners, and let us know. BTW, the Hot Head look so much better than the Jeep factory liners at a much better price point. I expect the ones he designs for the Bronco will be the same. Congratulations, and enjoy that Bronco.
BTW, the head liner a quite easy DIY job. One, to two beer job depending on the temperature.
thanks for being our tester! Glad to hear how happy you are with the purchase. It’s making me re think the Sasquatch package as those stock wheels and tires look great on the 4 door.I will see what I can do, it went form 80s to 60s and rain here in Northern MI today
