The dashboard of my MY25 Badsquach! ………….Virtually all car manufacturers do the temp gauge bias trick to prevent alarming ignorant drivers. The gauge is reasonably linear from cold up to thermostat temp (who cares about this zone) then it compresses everything from there to about 230-240° into...

My door lockers go nuts when I wash around the handles. Just hose water is enough to trigger a reaction.

The MY25 Broncos have solved this problem: no more digital readouts. Just a gas gauge type display that reads from 8 to 18 volts. You have no idea what the voltage is-so you will stop worrying. Same BS for the oil/tranny temps. Ford did add a water temp gauge-but it’s also useless since it is...

Had my improved Bronco on its first major trail outing last week. The new Trail Status screen is very helpful. Halfway thru the trip the screen stopped showing tire pressures??? Can’t find any settings that mess with this screen. Did Ford sneak in a software downgrade that removed this feature...

Appears to be the so-called Marsh Gray color. It looks more like Chocolate Mousse…………or worse……….but this is a family program.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention: they (almost) fixed the dashboard. Much better speedo/tach, off-road status display is great except halfway through my recent trail ride it stopped showing tire pressure? Really miss the numeric gauge panel-wish they would just display the numbers on top of the...

I did exactly the same transition. Have noticed other differences too. Would be good to have this thread document all the differences. Here are some of mine. Worst was loss of Cactus Gray. Marsh Gray should be called Chocolate Mousse. As advertised: the Hoss 3 is a significant upgrade to the...

Has this swap affected mileage? Before………. After…………

That works well if using a connector-less cable. But then you have to mess with more solder/crimp joints. My lights came with an excellent harness and waterproof connectors. It included a relay and remote switch pod. The current draw was well within Upfitter 3 capabilities, so I just cut the...

My ditch lights came with a nice waterproof connector. Way too big to thread through the tiny cowl slot. Easy fix: remove the larger screw at the cowling accessory mount location, only on the side involved. Use a plastic panel remover tool to pry up the plastic cowl piece. Only pry/warp it...

I posted a pic earlier. Maybe it got lost. Here it is again. You can only get a vague idea of temperatures, voltage, boost pressure. The speedo doesn’t even have numbers! There is now a water temp gauge but conveys little information other than it’s too hot

Here’s a pic. Note that other than 0 and 120MPH there are no speed marks on the speedo. The needle is on 0 since I wasn’t moving, at 60 MPH I suppose it would be straight up? Note that the gauges are thermometers with no usable fiducial marks other than the extrema? I was wrong about the boost...

I traded my ‘23 non sas high ragtop Badlands for a sas lux hardtop ‘25. So far really love it other than losing beautiful Cactus Gray for ugly Swamp Water Brown (aka marsh gray). Really like the new dash-except where are the numbers on the analog speedo????? And they could have put something...

I traded in my non sas ‘23 for a sas ’25. Really sad that cactus grey is gone. Marsh Gray is more like Swamp Water Brown! The interior lighting is better but still not adequate. Has anyone seen aftermarket offerings that integrate with the existing light circuit. The ads all say compatible with...

Did you measure the actual current draw by the light? Also when you finally get it on at night how is the pattern? Especially the vertical. Does it do a better job of lighting up your hood than the trail? And if when tilted up above the hood does it mostly light the sky? My cheapo light has a...

What is this ice of which you speak? The only ice I ever see is in my gun and tonic. 🙃 Born in LA………

First Ford was a new early 60s Falcon. ☹ Should have learned a lesson from it! But didn’t and bought a new Cougar later because I liked the styling. Probably the worst POS I ever owned. Convinced me to switch to rice burners for daily driving ever since. Bought a Rubicon the first year they came...

This is an old thread, couldn't find anything newer or more pertinent—my problem is a new variant: I have a '23 BL High 4D 2.7 10 Speed (Ford tricked me out of Sas/Lux) The onboard manual doesn't say anything about a decent Hill Descent Assist mode and the online manual only describes it for...

Still have my very early, 11/2002, Rubicon. Bought it because it was trail ready; added lots of extras too. No death wobble unless tires are worn/out of balance but still a beast to drive on the trail and highway. Even my Jeep buddies admit that my Bronco has [much] better road manners. Rubi has...
