Huh? Allowed? As in given permission?

Definitely running hard against strong headwinds will have an impact on oil consumption, both from the increased temperatures that thins the oil a bit more as well as the constant boost raising pressures in the cylinders and increasing blow-by a small amount. If consumption returns to normal in...

Open carry for the W!

I love a manual as much as the next enthusiast, but the smooth and torquey 2.7L and efficient 10-speed won the day for me. I'd rather salt away some money for an old Miata or Boxster that rewards the manual experience than the Bronco where I see it being as much of a hindrance as an attribute...

'23 Big Bend 4dr. w/Sasquatch and the V6. I couldn't ask for more. No issues in 39 months and 30k miles. Drives great, strong power and about 19 mpg in mixed driving. Biggest complaint is the sound system is pathetic. Interface is fine, I like the Navigation linked to my mobile but sound...

Wow. That's pretty disappointing. Definitely file a warranty claim with Ford. My '23 Big Bend has pretty decent panel alignment although the gaps are a bit wider than they could be. The paint however is thin and chips very easily. Shines up decently however. Mass production doesn't get you...

Hard ro believe that got out of the factory like that. Are you the first owner? Positive it wasn't hit before you had it? If you bought it new you may have a case but I'll bet the dealer claims its "too late". Check the fender bolts under the hood for witness marks from a wrench having been...

it’ll be fine. Just check the level to be sure you’re not low if you haven’t had to add any so far.

I ordered my '23 Big Bend specifically for the cloth seats. Ford's leather is garbage and I felt the Marine vinyl would be too hot and sticky in Florida. I then specified the Mid-package so I have heated seats, upholstered in cloth. I couldn't be happier with them. Comfortable, not hot or...

They need to bring back Hot Pepper Red, and add a Yellow. I also think Bronco would look great in a bright blue-green like the old Calypso Green on the Fox Mustangs or even the Gulfstream Aqua, Aztec Aqua & Acapulco Blue from the '69 Mach 1

Lot's of new 25's still available. Check out Stivers Ford in Montgomery AL, they have 60+ 2025's on the lot and post sale prices detailing incentives, etc. I've heard good things about them so maybe a fly and drive to save some $$$

I go back and forth on this but ultimately I'm sticking with my soft top. The top itself is high quality and mine fits very well with no leaks. I'd like the hard top for noise and security reasons but I just keep the speed under 75 and park in my garage to solve those problems. Both are a...

7 of your 8 "levels" could and do apply to most any vehicle on the road. The roof cracks is an issue for sure but not a problem for soft tops. And Ford seems willing to make them right during warranty plus just launched a recall on the '21-22 year tops. If you care that much about what others...

Great marketing by Ford & Filson. Like Jeep did years ago with Levi's, the rugged, outdoorsy do anything image is a great complement for Bronco. It will generate appeal to Bronco from a demo that probably wouldn't look at a Bronco on their way to a Land Rover, Lexus or Mercedes dealer. And...
