Have an early production (June ‘21) Big Bend with 52K+ miles and no real issues. Side mirrors ‘whistled’ at 50+mph, but wrapping the plastic seam with black vinyl fixed that. No other issues. One of my favorite cars ever owned.

Chill cash…dude asked for our experience…I gave mine. Yours may be different. No one here supports the problem. Go for a Bronco ride with the top and doors off…you’ll feel better.

Ted Britt Ford in Chantilly, Virginia…priced as agreed and delivered quickly after arrival.

Thanks. I would plan to do the work myself. RC 2” lift is ~$125 and spacers ~$60. Aggressive 33’s are gonna cost >$1000 all in.

Probably a dumb question here and hope it fits with this thread somewhat... - I have stock 255/75/17’s (32”)Don’t want to spend the money for new 35” tires yet but would be willing to once the stock tires wear out - My Big Bend is a daily driver, not an off-roader...but we do live on a mountain...

Temporary fix is to wrap the seam where the halves of the mirror housing join in black electrical tape. It blends in somewhat with the black plastic and seems to get rid of most of the whistle. My dealer says Ford is working on a fix.

No issues at all with the sales & financing team. Service...another story...not awful, but not what it should be...just lacks customer focus.

Thought I'd post a video/audio clip of the side mirror whistle...this is more than just wind noise that one would expect with a top down vehicle. It's clearly a loud whistle. You'll notice when I put my hand on the outer corner of the mirror housing, the whistle goes away. Starts at ~50mph...

Congrats!

It’s definitely a fitment issue where the plastic housing is not coming together correctly. On the drivers side where whistling is worse, I can move the back half slightly and feel a click like it’s connecting with the mating half, but it doesn’t stay there after a bounce or two. The whistling...

Have had my BB A51 4D 2.7 for a week now and still love it. But there is one problem that is annoying the snot out of me... My side view mirrors ‘whistle’ at speeds greater than 50mph. The faster the louder the whistle. If I collapse the mirror or simply put my hand on the outer lower corner it...

Day 2... Still love it. Did some joy riding today with front doors off (easy, but not elegant...though I wish I had the door bags) and the soft top back (also easy). Drives extremely well and the turbo kicks in for that extra punch when you need it. 2.7L has plenty of power (wife liked that...

Finally picked her up...LOVE IT! Worth the wait!! More pics to orrow
