Ditto! Excited for later summer/fall use!

None of it works...until it does. And one day autonomous driving will absolutely be the norm, and it will handle construction and road closures and wrecks (of which there will be few because the cars will be better drivers than we are). The point of participating in the process is it gets...

Got mine in December.

The caution is that your used OBX price a year from now could be very different than what you think you'd get now. Interest rates are going to be higher, more Broncos are going to be available, etc. I don't think breaking even a year from now is even close to guaranteed. In fact, I think it's...

It would be a special situation that would allow you to lock in now. And if you can find it, might require you to start paying now. Best strategy (imo)? Start adding to your $15k you've got set aside by making what you estimate your monthly payment would be. If you do that from now until the...

It's only possible from the factory if you get the vinyl seats rather than the leather. Personally, as a guy who has the vinyl, I'm super impressed with their quality and prefer them to the leather so far. I'm curious if Armorlite or another manufacturer will offer their product for aftermarket...

I got my dealer to give me a written offer for trade value ahead of delivery - I took in Carvana and Vroom offers as backup, but didn’t end up needing them. Most dealers want decent used vehicles right now, so if they know you’re willing to go elsewhere, they’ll usually give you a decent offer...

I'd definitely get those looked at - they shouldn't look that way. Easy to replace, but I would ask that they do so with bolts that were properly coated.

The Bronco tow limits are a bit different than many vehicles. They have nothing to do with power - either engine, but especially the 2.7, has plenty of power to tow. The suspension and the way the hitch is attached to the frame are much bigger considerations, but under the limit should be fine...

Patience has been my friend. The key for me has been to learn to hesitate a half second after closing the door, and then to just rest my finger on the button until it locks. I agree with the sensor vs button question above. I had a lot of problems early on, but since altering my methods have...

I did some more exploring and am fairly certain now that the battery was indeed charging from the 7-pin. Makes the power line run from the battery a no brainer. It's just too easy. The aux may work, but you have to remember to hit the switch, and depending on the amps you want to run to the...

Every state is different (for many it's even higher than that) and I don't think brakes are often necessary at this guy's weight (probably 2000-ish lbs fully loaded). That said, you need the wiring right for a 7-pin harness to work and to charge the battery in the trailer, even if you don't care...

If you don't need the 7-pin and don't anticipate needing it in the future, installing the 4-pin is pretty straightforward (took me 90 minutes or so). That said, I'd still keep factory tow unless you are worried about holding up your build. I think I'll always regret it a bit even though I have...

I'm feeling plenty conspicuous enough already!

Just need a little weather to cooperate - I got home to Kansas in time for winter to return!
