Some transparency on the issue. A TSB describing the root cause, alluding to the failure rate, build dates affected, etc.
With all of the data we have saying otherwise, maybe this really is a tiny chance of each of us being affected.
Bottom line is this is a safety issue. This isn’t...
We have no idea because we certainly do not have the full list. We are a small forum of enthusiasts and the majority of bronco owners probably don’t post here. Also, probably the majority of owners have less than 2200 miles on their engines. So, my wild ass guess is that we only have 5-10% of...
Ford can’t even make minor adjustments to their 2.7L engine for Bronco without having them explode on people driving down the highway, so hell no I will not be trusting them with this science experiment.
I feel that.
However, this is an “adventure vehicle” designed and heavily marketed (“Built Wild”) to be something that takes you deep into the wilderness. How much would it cost to have one of these towed from the middle of black bear pass?
Yes. We have seen multiple posts of dealers denying a sale because they think this will occur. Not sure how your dealer would find out unless you do something dumb though.
I got it for a killer deal at $150, so I’m happy with it at that price point. It adds plenty of bass for my liking. Rounded out the system nicely.
Let me know how the others compare. Should be fun to test them out.
