I’ve been using Suma since purchasing my Bronco in 2023, and it has been excellent for protecting the paint in the Northeast coastal environment. It holds up well against summer heat, salt from the beaches, and the snow and salted roads during winter. Suma is easy to apply and consistently...

Wow, Alaska as well? How is the Bronco holding up with all of your travel?

Living in the NE without a garage leaves me with limited options to switch out tops. I like and keep the HT for the warmth in the winter, reduced road noise, and I do take the top panels off in the summer. The HT works well to use with racks: both the Ford Factory rack and the Hooke 1/2 rack. I...

I ordered a kit from Mabett for all four flaps, but only installed the front as the front wheels kick up a lot of sand, mud and rocks onto the side of the doors, etc., Work well and simple to install with the OEM running boards. Worth the investment and time to install. I drive mostly road...

Living in NE, I spent much time researching this topic. 1) Any hard coat or rubberized undercoating typically protects but at the risk of sealing in moisture and hiding the rust, r problem areas. 2) There are many options to consider 3) Fluid Film and Woolwax were consistently mentioned as a...

I have and use both the Ford Factory rack and the Hooke 1/2 rack. I use the Factory rack for ski season to mount my ski racks and use the Hooke 1/2 rack for summer so I can take off my top panels and also carry any beach/camping gear. My Hooke 1/2 rack came with rubber pads to protect the top...

Cabin comfort might be another criteria. Being a large person (6'6" & 250 lbs.) cabin space for me is an important consideration. My son has a tricked out Ranger (Lift, Camburg kit, Fox 3.0's, etc.) and while I love his ride, the cabin is nowhere as comfortable as my Bronco. The Ranger is too...

This is my second Ford with a keypad and knock on wood, I have used many, many times over 25 years without any issues. The one exception during a very cold winter when my battery died. But in a very remote area, I would take or hide a physical key for a peace of mind.

Living in NE, I spent much time researching this after we lost our 2004 4-runner to a rusted out frame @ 120K. (possibly tied to several winters and a poor design by Dana Industries/Toyota...another story). Swore that I would never let that happen again therefore did a deep dive on...

There is no Discount Tire in Rhode Island either and ironically not on a real island such as yours! LOL

My local Ford dealer is the same. They also have offered to price match, should I find a better deal. I use them for my Oil change, lube, inspection and a 5 tire rotation every 5K and the cost is around $85. To me a good value when the local Valvoline shop charges about the same just for an...

I was in Phoenix area visiting my elderly mother. She shops at both, but had purchased her tires from Discount including their road hazard. While I was visiting, similar situation with a flat that had a puncture on the edge of the tread where it wasn't repairable. Discount replaced the tire...

Aug 2023, 39K Miles. Original top and no cracks. Parked outside in the New England cold winters and hot summers.

I use my amber (yellow SAE Fog) lights in snow, rain, fog & dust. At least 3-4 times a month, well worth the investment. Also have the white (SAE Fog) on the outside placement for a wider light pattern on dark roads, etc. . Evaluated several mfg., was down to DD & BD, both top tier quality...
