Agreed! I love my Hot Pepper Red Sas, sorry to see it removed from the choices. Ford occasionally stumbles into cool colors, then sobers up and immediate reverts to bland and blander. Gotta Have It Green, Hula Blue, Calypso Coral, Rapid Red, Antimatter Blue... all great colors. Hell, I'd...
Learn how to change your own oil! It's pretty easy on a Bronco, lots of video's on YouTube and as is true with every Turbocharged vehicle, clean, high quality engine oil and a clean filter every 5-6k miles is absolutely the key to a happy and long lasting engine. You'll spend a $100 or more at...
Yep. A Goodyear Territory. Ford asked GY to come up with a different name than "Wrangler" for the tire to avoid confusion with the Jeep model of the same name.
Exactly. Lightning and the GM EV trucks seem to hold value as a percentage of original MSRP better than the Tesla simply because they're more usable as trucks than the CT. CT is a fashion statement, Lightning or Silverado EV are pickup trucks first and EVs second.
These list typically take a look 3 years back or even longer. Previous generation Tundra with the V8 is more valuable than ever due to the new versions well documented issues. Improving resale of last generation lifts the declining resale of the new generation.
Some states, not all, require the dealer to register their used cars. So a new car that gets traded or sold back to a dealer would have at least two and sometimes more transactions if it was then resold to another dealer. This is also common with leased vehicles which sometimes get...
Looking into these. My '23 came with the Ford all-weather mats, they were fine for about 6 months but have started curling at the edges and no longer fit as well as when new. Hoping these are a longer lasting alternative.
Pulled a loaded 6x12 dual-axle U-Haul from Florida to Atlanta, about 3600 lbs. loaded with furniture. Mostly interstate up I-75. 4 door Sasquatch 2.7 with factory tow. No issues, just a bit of push when decelerating or braking, otherwise stable as a rock and plenty of power and torque. It...
Not loud on a Bronco... but a GT350 or GT500 with active exhaust is LOUD. I think they sound great, love the raspy note from the flat-plane crank and its firing intervals. But I can see how it could run afoul of noise laws.
Look for the 285's that are on the lighter end of the weight spectrum. Avoid "E" load range rated tires as they are the heaviest and have the most rolling resistance which will ding both acceleration and gas mileage. A "C" load range 285 will have plenty of load capacity for a 4 cylinder...
My'23 Big Bend Sas has been absolutely perfect in 3 years and 23k miles. Buy, I've not allowed (or needed) anyone to touch it besides oil changes which I do myself. My son's '16 Focus ST1 had been perfect in 10 years and 100k miles, just brakes and battery's plus regular full syn oil changes...
I have 5 open recalls on my '23, none of them important enough for me to trust the local Ford dealer to not make the issue 10x worse. I'll wait until I get to a market with a competent Ford dealer to make the reservation for the repairs. Ford really needs to drop the hammer on these...
We had two, a 3rd gen and a 5th gen. Took the fibergass roof off of both, totally changed the demeanor of the vehicle and super fun. The issue was when putting the top back on, the rattles and squeaks seemed to amplify every time the top was reinstalled. But I'd love another F-150 based...
My '23 Big Bend V6 just sat for 2 weeks in my garage. North Florida so temps are mild, in the mid-50s. The remote start via phone was disabled due to sitting for 2 weeks but I opened the door, pushed the button and it cranked perfectly and fired right up. If you're still under warranty I'd...
I'm in Florida, we have a pretty clear and strong Lemon Law here. And I used it. My '14 Chrysler 300 John Varvatos was a beautiful car and I loved it. Driving the kids to school one morning, the instruments went berzerk, lights flashing, needles sweeping back and forth. Dropped the kids off...
Flex was a fantastic vehicle, unfortunately it got lumped in with minivans instead of SUVs and suffered the same fate... not cool. A Flex with fender flares, two tone paint and a 2 inch lift with chunky but all-season tires would have been awesome and I'd bet a sales winner. Think Volvo XC...
