My 2016 F350 has surface rust on some areas on the frame and the hitch. No critical areas have any rust after 5 years. No rust anyplace else. There will be zero rust on the fenders and doors of the Bronco since they are all aluminum.

With different diameter driving tires the drive system is loaded as if it were in a steady state turn when going straight ahead. This will cause premature tire wear and messes with other parts of the drivetrain and any computers that may be involved.

Its an issue related to the AWD system Subaru uses. Sanding one down is better than having to replace all 4 tires due to needing 1 new tire. Manually controlled 4WD has greater tolerance in tire diameter variance. But generally, driven tires should all be approximately the same diameter if you...

I don't know what this picture you posted is from but here is Ford's picture of the front flooring with washout floors. The rear floor is similar.

I have owned 3 Fords since 1996 and the two trucks were much more reliable than the one car. I don't expect any significant reliability issues with the new Bronco since most of the parts and systems represent evolutionary developments from proven equipment and parts. They are a development from...

It is not hate for innovation. It is a dislike for huge bulkiness, poor visibility, 8th grade interior design, and most of all, PRICE.

Ranger engine is based on RS engine which is not quite the same as the Mustang engine. But a factory tune will bring it up to the same level. That option is available on the Ranger and shows in the accessory catalog for the Bronco.

I watched a video of the installation of a catch can on a Ranger. They took the vapor line from the included air-oil separator to feed the catch can. The air-oil separator does what a catch can does except it dumps the oil back into the crankcase so there is nothing to empty. All the catch can...

If nobody cared about small trucks why do I see so many old Rangers on the road? Ford dropped the Ranger because they didn’t have the resources to manage all the vehicles they were building. They had ignored the Ranger for years by refusing to update it. Nissan and Toyota decided they needed to...

The vehicles that benefit from a catch can have higher performance engines that significantly increase crankcase pressures by causing more cylinder blow-by and are direct injected. The 2.7 is not one of those engines and in addition, has port injection in addition to direct which washes the...

Ford hasn’t actually told anyone when their Bronco will be built. Next month they will start the build scheduling and let you know in May. All of the talk about what will be built when is just speculation by people who don’t have all of the infirmation.

Better Dif cooling and internal oil flow.

Direct answer: you will be fine. Modern vehicles can comfortably tow at the limit.

You keep your priority even with the downgrade.

He is not the best source of information. All First Editions will be 2021s. You can delay it until later in the year but if you want a 2022 it won’t be a FE. He doesn’t control your place in line. Ford does. The timestamp of the reservation will be a factor in the build order. The date of the...

People with no inkling of how a vehicle actually works. Say NO to portrait mode videos!

A vehicle’s tow rating depends on the manufacturer’s. GCWR. The hitch rating is only for the hardware. It is a maximum for a class. The actual tow rating for the vehicle can be a lot less.

Ford rates the hitch as a recovery point if it is included. In addition to the one tow hook at the rear. straight pull on the hitch point is not the same loading as tow rating.

The wiring is included in the hitch package but the controller is not.

Yes. Towing a 3500# trailer is much safer with electric brakes. It helps keep you from jack-knifing in an quick stop.
