I took my 2025 Badlands in today for the Instrument Cluster recall and also had them look at a Random Misfire CEL code that popped up (and cleared within a couple of days) and according to my dealer Ford is working on a software update to correct this which is exactly the same response as I have...

Mine had the same thing happen. Getting the recall done early January.

It's not like I didn't use an example such as the MT82 transmission that did in fact have an ensuing Class Action lawsuit. Blue oval folks were saying the same things in the Ford forums to unfortunate owners with issues as you are today. We all know who was right in the end. As I said before...

Meh. I heard the same BS in 2012 regarding the MT82 transmission when many of us started having problems well before the class action lawsuit. I've owned nearly all the brands over the decades and have been a member of so many automotive forums and Ford has by far the most apologists for bad...

I'm a member of Bronco Nation on Facebook that has 155k members so far more than this forum and I can assure you that there are a lot of people with MIC top issues. There is 100% widespread evidence that points to lots of defective MIC tops. None of us can say if it's a majority or minority but...

Car & Driver primarily tests new vehicles and long term reliability is not really part of their criteria. They do long term testers but don't accumulate ownership data like JD Power or CR.

I've had McGards on several cars and have never had the lock protrude like that. They usually offer several different types of lugs and that lock appears to be designed for the their Shank style lug nut. If you look below at the kit for the Bronco, you can see the lock is the exact same length...

Why would you purchase an Everglades if you weren't going to take it off road and maybe beat on it a little bit?

Those mudflaps pretty cheese but I'm more disturbed by the low profile tires.

Almost all aftermarket cat-back 4 cylinder exhausts drone. I don't believe any of the exhaust makers claims nor do I believe posters claims. I can't count the times over the decades I've heard the "I have exhaust X and it doesn't drone" on an exhaust that clearly drones. I just think a lot of...

There becomes a point of diminishing returns if we are talking about stock turbochargers. Most exhaust manufacturers don't even bother claiming performance gains (companies like Borla and Corsa only highlight the tone and tips) because there's just not much extra to be had without serious...

I assume you are talking about BlueCruise. I doubt it's possible seeing the vehicle is likely lacking some required hardware.

Mine has this as well at lower speeds. I assume it's a Ford ownership perk.

Just leave it alone as it's minor cosmetic and not worth getting refinished as the new paint won't likely be as durable in the long run. Still pretty sloppy work by Ford. For the money they are charging for these, the attention to detail should be much better.

Nearly all modern AWD systems work in this manner utilizing a variety of sensors (wheel speed, steering angle, throttle position) to distribute power. Some like Haldex systems are FWD nearly all the time unless sensors detect slip, in which power is sent to the rear wheels. Then there's BMW...

Ford's explanation of 4A; Now I'm not clear if this differs any from their F150 systems but utilizing sensory inputs to change the performance is the very definition of slippage based system. It's what all automakers are using in this day and age.

4A should feel the same as 2H when just cruising seeing the front wheels are not engaged unless slippage is detected.

Class action lawsuits are always worth it because there's little cost or commitment to enroll. Yes you won't likely receive a large payout but in the case of automakers they end up costing the manufacture typically millions. This is required to keep automakers honest or what's to prevent Ford...

I also received this update notice.

It has nothing to do with how good a driver is or how smart they are. There are a lot of lawsuit possibilities if mandated instrument information is not present on the cluster and the driver gets into an accident. I haven't seen any online complaints about blank warning lights or speedometer...
