Nice install and GO Noles! What a disappointing year...

Outstanding! All the data in one pllace. I'm very partial to Yokohama's after 2 great sets on my '02 Super Duty. I'll likely go with the Geodlandar's below when I replace the standard Territory's that I've been pleasantly surprised with. https://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/geolandar-x-at

Take a look at these Yokohama's. https://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/geolandar-x-at That's what I'm going with when the GY Territory's expire on my Big Bend Sas. My previous experience with Yokohama's on my Super Duty was exceptional, easy to balance, stay's balanced, quiet and long lasting.

That sucks but is not at all surprising. I don't have confidence in my local Ford dealer to change oil and filter properly so do it all myself. The incompetence in these dealer service departments is unfathomable. Hope Ford comes through for you, my only advice is to find a reputable...

My ‘23 Big Bend mid-pkg is garaged nightly, I’ve left the key in the center console since day one. It’s sat for as long as 3 weeks with no battery issues at all. Pretty sure the system goes into a sleep mode as long as you don’t tug on the door handles. What I haven’t been able to do is lock...

Something is definitely wrong. My '23 Big Bend Sas V6 is very smooth at all speeds. The ride is stiff, but that's a different animal. One quick thing, have you checked tire presures? I keep mine around 36-38 unless I have a lot of highway driving in mind, like a road trip where I'll go up to...

Damn... my '23 HPR Big Bend does not have the side lamps in the mirrors or these would be SOLD!

Same vehicle but only 22k miles. I use Mobil 1 5w-30, no oil usage between changes at 5k intervals. I will say however that getting an accurate oil reading from the dipstick is almost impossible on the 2.7 Bronco. About once every two weeks, I'll pop the hood, pull the dipstick out then close...

Love it. It'll never happen in today's litigious environment, but I'd order one today. Strip it down even more, a base 2.5L 4 cylinder with the manual, a manual transfer case with lever. Reconfig. the center stack to lose the display, just a slot for a DIN radio if desired. Dump the digital...

I can't comment on the stiff vs. "Soft" sidewalls but can opine on the heavier tire. The weight is due to the additional plies or layers of reinforcement in the tire. This drives the load rating which impacts the Load Range rating of "E". The plus is you end up with a very heavy and robust...

They absolutely do. When they're running. There's a very good reason why Land Rover resale value is essentially zero after the warranty period runs out.

Transit is the most popular cargo/passenger van on the market, not a bad thing. Profits from "plain-jane" cargo vans fuel Raptor and Mustang development. The amazing thing is how GM has just ignored the modern van popularity as demonstrated by Transit, Ram ProMaster and Mercedes Sprinter. The...

Still no 2dr soft top with Sas, V6 and a manual transmission. That’s what it would take to get me out of my Hot Pepper 23 Big Bend.

Like everything else... it depends. Mostly, it depends on the quality of the battery. Despite their appearance, there's a lot going on inside a battery, more so with the AGM batteries we have. So far, my experience has been great with AGM's. My '23 Bronco is on 2.5 years with no issues. It...

I don’t know if this is still the case, but in 1985 I ordered a new Mustang GT, 5.0, Convertible, optional axle ratio. The dealer in Tampa told me 9-12 weeks. After 4 months I stated calling the dealer, as this was pre-internet and electronic communications, the dealer said they’d call their...

Pick up a small tube of Permatex Anti-Seize next time you're at the auto parts store. It's less than 4 bucks and will prevent he corrosion that happens when steel bolts are threaded into aluminum or similar metallic events. I also sue just a smidge on spark plug threads as the steel plus...

When it comes to V6 sound, the biggest difference will come from the engine design. A 60 degree V6 like the Honda J series or even GM 2.8, 3.1 and 3.4 engines will sound infinitely better than a 90 degree V6 like the GM 3800 or earlier Honda C series V6's. No V6 will sound like a V8, however...

I was in Dillon last week and stayed at this Homewood Suites. Lot's of Bronco's, a high percentage of them Raptors which would make sense given the demographics and terrain up there. But I didn't see an Everest and my son, who works for Porsche and is a Bonafede car geek didn't see it either...

Excellent point. If the other party was deemed at fault, your insurance company will subrogate the claim to the other drivers company. Since they're essentially spending someone else's money, they're more likely to try and accommodate you, their customer. But if you were at fault, that...

It's purely a money and time game. The proliferation of Salvage auctions and the big money a current or almost new car brings at salvage for part out or rebuild narrowed the gap for insurance companies totaling a vehicle. I'd guess at auction, your wrecked Bronco will bring north of 20k, maybe...
