  1. Bronco Production Restarts 11/2/23 and Scheduling Resumes 11/9/23

    Unfortunately, orders will get cancelled if possible on Ford’s end. They will have to readjust the price of the Bronco to take into account the increased labor costs of the workers. We all know Ford executives aren’t eating the loses. Those costs get passed to consumers. I ain’t mad about it or...
  2. UAW and Ford have reached a contract agreement! [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Does that take into account the $9 billion dollar impact the strike had already incurred? however you want to justify price increases, let’s go with that. The strike didn’t help cause prices to go down and the people at the top will find a way to also increase their salaries since their dollar...
  3. UAW and Ford have reached a contract agreement! [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Cost increases are a result of everyone. People always want more. They want do less. No matter what decisions are made, the people at the top won’t suffer. The more people demand, the more things will cost. They may feel like they won today but things will just be more expensive tomorrow. If you...
  4. UAW and Ford have reached a contract agreement! [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I don’t disagree that the big guys probably didn’t lose any of their salary by increasing car prices in recent years but don’t be fooled that they are not going to increase them again to keep up the hourly workers raise. All this means, car prices just went up again.
  5. 2 recent changes = crazy mpg

    93 v 87…I have found minimal difference, definitely not worth the money. I do pay for 87 ethanol free. Definitely a few miles for me per gallon. stay out of boost and I average over 20 mpg on my Bronco Raptor. keep it in boost, and run the mpg’s low šŸ˜Ž i put additives in my gas to the ethanol...
  6. Let’s discuss hand washing. What tricks of the trade do y’all have?

    Same here. Rinse, foam canon and with electric pressure washer (warm water), bucket of warm water with microfiber mitt, hand wash while foam is on car for lubrication (2 bucket method), rinse, dry microfiber towel, extra fine microfiber towel for glass, once every two months wash put Graphene...
  7. Carbon issues in the making for 3.0L Bronco Raptor engine?

    I am getting minimal blow-by in my UPR single side...maybe an ounce (less) every 500 miles. But it is summer (I installed in June), less deposits in summer (I have been told compared to colder months), and I drive normal...put my foot in it once a fill-up or so but normally keep in normal mode...
  8. Amsoil - Something to Think About

    I had an oil analysis done. This was Amsoil. Report came back beautiful. Maybe it would be the same with an other oil…I will never know. My report came back beautiful. Less wear and tear than expected. Cool engine temps. I wont be using anything else.
  9. Ceramic coating?? Any good? Cost? Opinions?? Etc

    It’s awesome! But you will want to go the PPF route. ceramic is better than nothing but PPF is worth the investment.

    Georgia Bronco

    @MyATV from reading and watching some YouTube videos Tray Mountain is moderate. Old Bucktown Rd was also moderate…it was dry when I did it…almost didn’t need 4 wheel drive. I am going into it thinking high clearance and 4wd equipped with the ability to pick a good line…all will be well. I just...

    I haven’t run Tray Mountain. If you want to show me trail, let me know what time. And where to meet.

    Georgia Bronco

    Still going on Friday? What trails are you doing? What time you starting? I never been up that way. Would like to learn my way around if you have experience. My recovery gear is non-existent…I am a newbie. Grew up on ATVs. So moderate experience, just not with a full-size Bronco.
  14. Ford delivers another customer run…Ford loves DEALER ADMs!

    https://www.motor1.com/news/632704/most-expensive-2023-honda-accord/amp/ this link reports the most expensive Accord is $46,000. I went with a friend to pick theirs up because I was trying to sell my SS Camaro and thought it would be easiest to sell to a dealership. they had a fully optioned...
  15. Ford delivers another customer run…Ford loves DEALER ADMs!

    You can get an accord for $27,000. Higher trimmed accords are over $50,000. the average car in 2022 cost $48,000. the raptor is expensive. It’s the upper tier bronco. Buy what you want. I just see threads bashing the price of Raptors and folks saying they aren’t worth it. As an owner, I...
  16. Ford delivers another customer run…Ford loves DEALER ADMs!

    Sounds like you got the best deal and I wasted money. I suppose I am the doofus. I was merely agreeing that the prices are high. However you justify what a vehicle is worth is dependent on the individual. I wanted 37s, a lift, the extra rear space for storage, upgraded suspension, extra power...
  17. Ford delivers another customer run…Ford loves DEALER ADMs!

    I love my Raptor! I don’t use the full potential but it is a beast! Have you tried quoting how much it would cost to convert a 2.7 4 door badlands to same spec as Raptor. I bought a Raptor, paid ADM, because it would cost more and still not have 400+ hp and warranty coverage. is it a lot of...
  18. What grade fuel to use ( normal, plus, premium )

    Yes…in my case, I do not need best usage of 400+ hp for daily commuting. now if I am going wheeling or towing, putting my engine under load, of course…give her 93 and utilize the extra power. ā€œbest overall performanceā€ is 30+ extra hp which is the rough margins gained from 87 to 93. You feel...
