No worries, guys. Gandalf has it covered.

Don’t tell Rip you’ve never heard of the jacket he’s wearing. He might take you to the train station. Filson saw a significant profile boost and revenue bump due to the show Yellowstone, thanks to multiple characters wearing their jackets. Ford was probably paying attention.

All we get on HE is this little sticker on one side. Everyone who has noticed it and said something just assumed that I put it on myself because I’m a bigfoot fan.

My crack happened in the first 60 days of ownership and required replacement. Happened on a paved rural road at about 50mph and it was a car coming the other direction that kicked up the stone. Not tailgating is great advice in general but it won’t always keep you safe from stones. In rush...

No. I’ve never had a mechanical problem that required it or delusions of being a street racer. A properly used clutch plate should last 100k or more and is usually cheaper to replace than rebuilding a transmission because the synchro-mesh or gears are trashed.

Great. New fear unlocked.

I’ll be blunt. You will probably regret doing this. The Bronco is a great vehicle for having fun in, but it is no work truck. It will underperform in the role you want to use it for, and you will probably break shit. Source: former work truck fleet maintainer, 20 yrs.

For whats it’s worth, my 2025 factory 2.7 drain plug started seeping slightly around 22k after 5 dealer oil changes. It was replaced under warranty and I got a free oil change out of it.

Should we refer to these as softmoars?

I use manual mode almost every time I drive up my steep gravel road to get home. The Bronco wants to lug up the hill in 5th gear. I’ll switch to M and drop into 3rd gear until I’m past the steep part, then back into D. EDIT: I’ve tried using the temporary downshift (gear lockout) feature with...

Nice. Congrats! Did your trail sights come red from the factory?

I haven’t gamed out how well it would work on the Bronco yet, but I’ve seen pretty secure-looking holster solutions mounted on the underside of the steering column in some vehicles. If you regularly drive in places where car jacking is a thing, that might be appealing. Of course those are...

This is why I got flaps for the back only. RokBlokz XL Long. I would be a menace on the road otherwise.

You already got good tips on fixing it yourself but if it were my new vehicle I would absolutely bring it to the dealers attention and get some “consideration” for it. I mean your paint is chipped. If you’re going to self fix, at least have them give you free touch up paint and a discount on...
