Not changing. We're currently planning on going with the soft top, and waiting to see what the aftermarket comes up with for a removable rack solution. We will only occasionally need a rack, so a non-permanent rack mount would allow us to continue to use the soft top most of the time.

Our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (C5, C6, C7; the C5 is parked next to my neighbor's C4): The C7Z06 has the OE summer tires on the OE black rims. They are switched out for all-seasons on OE chrome wheels when the temps drop to ~40F. Night/day difference in the look of the car. Edited to remove the...

The auto headlights on our Fords turn on the headlights AND the tail lights and side markers.

All the body panels are Aluminum. Frame and floor are steel. In other words, it's a pig, even with a large amount of Al use.

+1. The images of the 2.7 (non bronco applications) all have 2 tubes from the sides of the engine that go over the front/upper part of the engine compartment, then down into an intercooler, before the single tube goes to the throttle body. Ford may change that for the Bronco, but I'd call that...

Look at it from the consumer's point of view: Does someone go to a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/RAM dealer, or do they search out a Jeep dealer, regardless of whatever else may be around? There may be other cars at a dealer store, but someone shopping for a Jeep is only looking for a Jeep dealer...

Well, it's worked for Jeep and Ram -- why is this such a stretch for Bronco? Heck, Ford is even better positioned to do it with Mustang -- our 2019 does not have a single "Ford" branding on its exterior.

As an engineer, I can think of at least a half-dozen reasons 33" are a better choice than 35" for 99.9% of our needs. Spouse wants 35s. Analysis over.

Good article on the benefits: https://blog.grabcad.com/blog/2018/04/03/benefits-of-integrated-exhaust-manifolds/

Agree about putting HomeLink in the Lux package -- it's so universal now, if should be available at a much lower level. We're going Lux. Our 2018 and 2019 Fords have these features, and as they say, "luxury, once tasted, becomes a necessity."

As an engineer and a several decade car-freak, I think the C8 is a stunning value -- I can't believe they were able to provide such performance at that price. And even setting aside price, the driving experience is superb. Why do I have a C7 then? For my use as a semi-daily driver, the C5-C7...

Most airbag sensors are accelerometers. They can be placed anywhere in the vicinity of the desired coverage region. The critical thing is to ensure they are correctly aligned (i.e, not bolted on facing in the lateral driection when they are supposed to be sensing longintudinal deceleration)...

SOOOOO true! My 39th anniversary is this Christmas Eve. I intend to make it there still married -- but still too far away to be certain, though ....

Ricky, Ricky -- love your '80's heart-throb music beats, but dude, you have to let go of that high-energy/tension mojo! :ROFLMAO:

This is why we use the built-in versions -- no batteries to die, and over at least 4 Fords in the last 15 years, zero reliability problems. This includes "new" versions (2018, 2019). If the Bronco keypad is not the built-in one, we likely won't add it.

Wouldn't want to do without it. Used it countless times on our F-150 and Mustang, both of which are parked out on the street -- where I've often walked out to while the fob was back in the house somewhere. Wish it was available on my Corvette, too.

+1 First thing I do in a new car is move the rear view mirror up as high as possible, then move the seat as low as possible to see the *entire* view across the windshield. I hate that unnecessary blindspot.

I believe this was right after the reveal at a marina that is just south of Washington, DC's National Airport (on the Virginia side of the Potomac River). That definitely was a 2-door Bronco, so no on-board door storage.

Understood, but IIRC, Ford (Levine) never said x-plan *would be* available -- the rumor-mongers were the source of that bit, starting with dealers (and Levine?) saying "**IF** x-plan is available, you can use it." The misinformation/"we wanna believe it" started gathering steam from there. I'm...

In another thread, Ford (Levine) was unequivocal: No dealer stock production before reservation orders.
