Prior to owning a Bronco I had an 2017 2.3 Ecoboost Mustang which I quickly traded for a GT, and a 2018 F-150 Supercrew with the 2.7 Ecoboost. The Mustang was awful, the truck was fine. I test drove a 2.3 four door before ordering my first Bronco. I went with the 2.7 because it feels like a...

Not much but it’s a start I guess.

I’ll admit I didn’t think of the increase in rock chips after removing the side steps. I didn’t have any trouble with the 2021 with the smaller tires so it wasn’t on my mind. Now I have to decide if I want paint damage or ugly mud flaps.

I also swapped the running boards for rock rails. It looks much better in my opinion.

A few observations after driving our Heritage Edition over 600 miles this weekend: The hardtop and tires make this one much quieter than my 2021 soft top with Firestone M/T2’s The ride is much smoother and bump absorption is much better. The fuel economy was worse than the 2021 which I would...

I took a road trip into Mexico this weekend and saw an indicated 99 mph on the speedo. I admit I was surprised it would go that fast.

Mine arrived today. Ordered 3/27/2023. 2.7 w/ dual tops, towing, signature lighting, aux switches.

4dr, Race Red, 2.7, dual tops, trailer tow, aux switches, sig lighting. Ordered 3/27, no build date.

I think the issue here isn’t the vehicle it’s the current pricing structure. My wife has a 2021 Bronco Big Bend that had an original MSRP of $44k. Two of my adult daughters have 2021 Bronco Sports (BB for $32k and OB for $35k) and all three of these vehicles were priced accordingly at the time...

While I don’t have direct experience with Ford I did have a Jeep that was down for two months due to parts availability. I was financed through Chrysler Credit and they reimbursed me for the two payments I made while the vehicle was out of service. I have had co-workers opt for an extended...

During a recent snowstorm I believe I uncovered a “secret” G.O.A.T. mode because when I attempted to shift into mud/ruts mode to disable traction control the vehicle made a terrible noise and I lost 4WD. I called it “fainting goat” mode. After waiting two days (!) for a tow truck the dealer told...

Don’t forget the wheels unless you have a base or Black Diamond 😁

Upper Control Arm/Lower Control Arm

Caskinette Ford in Carthage, New York. Great deal, generous trade allowance, excellent communication. The only thing that can’t seem to do is get me the rock rails I ordered six months ago.

It is amazing that there are priority codes beyond “stock order” and “sold order” at all. Why would any manufacturer add complexity and confusion to the product ordering system? It really should as simple as “is this vehicle already sold or is it for inventory?” Maybe I’m just simple myself...
