“My dealer said…”
not to believe what you read on the internet.
I stopped by this morning and had them pull my VIN. My build date is 12-12-22, so I am outside the window. No recalls or campaigns. I got the same result of no recalls on the website, but I got a specific build day from the...
Is this site definitive? Someone mentioned this was not a recall, but a “customer satisfaction program”. So just checking whether this would show by VIN. Anyone have the issue show as a recall?
Well, just when I was happy with getting a Bronco off the lot, this gets announced:

Anyone had this issue or been contacted yet? Mine was built in Dec 22, so I...
So I’m doing this on Saturday. This is my nightmare scenario. I see from the videos there are three white connector bays. I’m not sure what you mean by “pull up the connectors”. So is the idea to pull them up and screw down the bolts firstC then clip in the fuse box? I’ve heard there may...
I can’t connect via text or phone, so maybe someone else can help me. I have a fog light set in the cart, but I’m a little concerned about the config. The picture seems to show two SS3 light and one SSC2 light per side. But the config tool forces one SS3 and two SSC2s. So I’m not sure what...
I’ve done it, but I’ll tell you picking up someone’s takeoff will be a lot cheaper than new. Cutting off the frame and tow loop bits is a little intimidating, but I did it. Used a reciprocating saw with thick metal blade.
I’m interested in the alternator upgrade. Aside from normal operation, a compressor, winch, fridge, etc. puts a lot of additional stress on the system. Especially if I run them all at once with my espresso machine. 🤣
The big draw for me is my son’s Surron ebike. We want to take it off road...
Just heavier steering, if that makes sense. A bit longer to brake. I’ve gotten used to it now, but it’s not quite as nimble as before. I’ve added another 200 lbs or so, so not surprising. It doesn’t look like I’m more nose down, so maybe not a difference.
Nope? Hard to search for “what is this thing”! And in my defense, I only just got the damn Bronco after ordering in 2020. Apparently a slight detail I missed. Thanks for the input.
I can’t figure out what this square protrusion is in the rear storage area, 2 door, drivers side. Probably obvious and I’ll be embarrassed for asking, but can someone enlighten me? Am I missing a piece?
Maybe we should all pitch in for a Bronco6G programming cable…
I don’t think it’s Forscan. There is a vendor offering a Forscan programming service. Maybe they would do this too.
How many spring sizes are used on 2 door SAS? The cookbook just show motor and tow difference, so four total spring options. I have a Base 2 door SAS, 2.3 w/o tow. I’m adding skids, rock rails and bumpers, so the weight is going up, closer to a BD SAS. Adding a modular bumper really changed...
I was also pleasantly surprised by the subwoofer system. I expected I’d have to rush out and upgrade it immediately, but I’m pretty happy with it. Maybe I’ll swap some speakers some day if feedback from others shows it’s an improvement.
Here’s an off the wall question. I will take Ford up on the $2500 to cancel an order and buy off the lot. My question is whether the $2500 private offer could be transferred to Granger and used on an extended warranty? I figure “no”, but doesn’t hurt to ask. @Zach?
I gave up and paid $2k ADM to get a 2 door BaseSquatch off a lot. I was tired of waiting and have no guarantee my SAS order would be built. I’d originally ordered the 2.3 as I wanted a manual. However, the Off Rodeo in Moab convinced me the auto trail tools weren’t gimmicks, so changed to a...
I hope folks post their results with this upgrade on this post. I’m thinking I might do this, but a little nervous about rattles from the removed panels, as well as potential electrical gremlins. Has everyone run the software update for the BCM? Is the new part to be updated just the fuse box...
So I jettisoned my order and bought a BaseSquatch off a local lot. Apparently, it was one of the few manufactured with the subwoofer, according to both the sticker and my ears. I’d heard so much about the lousy base sound system that an upgrade was one of my first planned additions.
But I...
