  1. Bronco Filson Road Tour - All Cities List

    It IS an interesting choice by Ford, which I’m sure the designers debated. I wouldn’t say it’s a clash, but it’s a lot of active tones going on there, the copper, the green, the bronze-pewter dash, the black. I’d say it’s all working well enough, but it’s a LOT of color for sure. Not gray...
  2. Homemade $8 Ditch Light Brackets DIY

    Black screws, c’mon!
  3. Thunderstorm Causing Dash Alerts?

    NavBase KitSap would be a prime nuke target, so don’t worry about it!
  4. Braptor delivered! found the perfect spec locally at a decent discount

    Do the rings! It ain’t subtle to begin with, lean in! šŸ˜Ž
  5. Thunderstorm Causing Dash Alerts?

    Everyone here is a good source of laughs, as usual, but the situation leaves me wondering what could be the cause such a cascade of warnings to go away as mysteriously as they arrived. Likely no on the wheel sensors, seemed fine. Battery fine. Gremlins in the various sensor systems not so rare I...
  6. Thunderstorm Causing Dash Alerts?

    Update: Checked the wheel speed sensors visually, seem fine. Drove around for 15 minutes and all the alerts cleared.
  7. Thunderstorm Causing Dash Alerts?

    Here’s an odd one. I searched to see if I could find anything here relevant but no luck. Parked outside yesterday afternoon for a dentist appointment, and while I was inside there was a big thunderstorm with some crazy lightning. Bronco was parked and shut off. On the 5-minute drive home, the...
  8. Fordite — It’s actually a thing!

    ā€œā€¦ This material is typically found in the paint booths of auto factories, where cars were spray-painted by hand. As the paint sprayed over vehicles, excess paint would build up on the equipment and surfaces around the painting area. Over the years, these layers of paint would harden, creating...
  9. Base Model Question

    Concur. Driving in deep-ish snow is more about tires and not being an idiot than it is any specific higher end vehicle feature. A great snow-performance tire (like the Nokian Outpost) might be all you need to consider. The 7MT will likely get you around on ā€˜moderate’ trails just fine (which I’d...
  10. Base Model Question

    My GY35s are only noisy because most of the time they’re filled with rocks!
  11. Base Model Question

    His order is already in. OP: You should be fine. Maybe a change of tire for noise and/or winter performance, but you can wait and see. Enjoy it!
  12. Test drove a 2026 Badlands - do all Broncos have this much tire noise?

    Agree with @5GENIDN — OP isn’t trolling, just asking if his take is unreasonable. Which it maybe is. The reality he’s bumping into is the Bronco is maybe not a great highway or city vehicle. If you’re buying it for attitude, not function, then you’re going to have to embrace some downsides due...
  13. Test drove a 2026 Badlands - do all Broncos have this much tire noise?

    As someone mentioned earlier, the dealership probably has them way overinflated. Check the PSI — you can do it from the dash console. Mine were in the mid-40s. I now run at 36.
