I love the trail stripes shown on the tire cameras. They are really beating the hell out of these. But the stripes make me think I need full body ppf, which is not cheap...
Probably not what you are asking but I'll be building my pal a ramp that I can extend out the back onto the ground for him to climb up. He'll be almost 11 when I take delivery and he's been with me on every single outdoor adventure I've had in the last decade. We've climbed icy mountains, canoed...
@djp is correct. I’ve been told by 2 different dealers there is a loophole that I could utilize to transfer one of my 2 reservations to “a family member or friend.”
I’m not sure if this answers your question but Granger has said they are happy with their allocation. To me that means Ford awarded them around 30% of their total reservations as allocations. I’ve heard from a few dealers and buyers that if you didn’t reserve in the first few days, you are...
I haven’t heard any rumblings of plant pickup. There was talk today that they are shooting to crank out 1,000 Broncos a day — with that, Detroit pickup seems highly unlikely. A few hundred of us are either flying to Granger in Iowa to drive our Broncos home or are a part of group shipping from...
Yes and yes. But make sure to speak with the dealer before you transfer there. Supposedly some dealers were seeing if they could place transfer orders after their original orders. In the end, it’s Ford who decides the order so as long as your dealer submits it, it should be your rightful place...
One element to consider is mountain driving. I have two big inclines that I have to merge onto often that can get sketchy with our 4cyl. I had to teach my gf that she has to mash the gas from the stoplight all the way to merge to integrate with the flow safely. My old Honda Pilot handles that...
Ford, I know you were feeding Nick inside info for the past few months, I’m happy to be the new Nick ;)
So long Nick. I was a lurker for years and always appreciated your posts.
I run an acoustical solutions company. There are materials that are specialized to reflect noise and materials used to absorb (turning noise into heat). We have a product that can be hosed down as well, made for well-being and scientific research spaces, that could be an interesting solution for...
I don’t want it more because you are already driving a convertible boxy SUV on 33” tires. It will be plenty noisy without piping in unnecessary sound.
It’s been said already but the shop I work for echoes what others are hearing and thinking: if you want 40s and to wheel, your Bronco is essentially becoming a project vehicle - stripping out most of the components and going solid axle is highly likely. The sweet spot seems to be maximizing...
Legit question: why do we care if it’s soft-touch or hard? Is it just an aesthetics “I feel more luxurious in my adventure vehicle” kind of thing?
The company I work for also owns a 4x4 shop, so I thought about doing quarterly trail rides with all 6G Bronco owners and have the shop act as guides for the day, teaching lines, spotting, when to engage lockers & sway bar, 1 foot driving, winches, etc. Would anybody be interested in that?
I help run an acoustic panel manufacturer and I’ll be experimenting with a few product types for S&G’s. Mainly washable sealed fiberglass panels used in hospitals and acoustic felt.
