The vast majority of people just don't give a shit unless its a completely egregious fit issue.
Having an issue with a new car and the reporting of it is akin to trying to pick fly shit out of pepper.
As for Bronco pricing increasing-blame the demand and dealerships getting 10K markups for...
That doesn't do shit to CARB, which predates the EPA (which is why it has so much power in influencing things like this) and something like 8 out the top 10 selling states are CARB members...guess we will see if the state level governments change their minds or not.
The Recon looks like a bad mash up of the Bronco/Bronco Sport and the new Toyota Forerunner and Landcruiser with ugly exposed hinges for the doors.
Then again I'm bias because I have a sport and regular bronco.
Nah it is trademarked...I know someone who makes decals for plastic models and got a letter for AM General for using the name Humvee on the sheets, since its a trademark. So don't underestimate the power of stupid overpaid lawyers.
Ford has already chased out other small time makers that where...
Here is the thing-the whole electrification thing has become literarily a lightning rod due to various actors on social media/news and dumbasses lapping it up.
No matter what we need more electrical generation in the US-from AI server farms to electric vehicles to increasing manufacturing, no...
Nah, the price increases where due to dealerships marking them up 10K and them pocketing the profit...people are still buying them. Ford doesn't care as long as they sell X with little to no incentives and if pricing is such a concern for sales, prices will be adjusted accordingly.
As for your...
Easy, CAFE requirements...the more popular models sell more which would affect that. Plus I'm guessing the take rates weren't that great because it started in 2023/24 I think.
Seriously? Do you require a 500 range out of your Bronco?
Anyways-Stellantis in rough spot right now with products in North America. FCA didn’t spend enough money on future products for the NA lineup about 7 years ago and what we are seeing now directly caused by that-they are forced into...
Even though my buying experience i had with my dealership with my Bronco became an infamous article, their service department has been pretty much second to none between my wife and I taking our cars there to get work done on them...the prices are fair and the work is done right the first time.
I had my drivers side cargo net get stretched out by a bottle of sunblock replaced. Otherwise its been maintenance/recalls at the dealership.
Sync acts up once in a while, but nothing a reset doesn't take care of.
But it does eat windshields-I've had two replaced in 2 1/2 years with almost...
I've owned nothing but Fords, but that due to my father working for them. Thankfully I've only had one complete turd of a car in 30 years
1986 Escort GT-First car-was my dads
1998 Mustang GT
2002 Ford Focus SVT-was the turd
2006 Mustang GT
2013 Taurus SHO
2010 Fusion Hybrid-this was my brother...
A good friend of mine (a Jeep owner at that) said one time to me when talking about Audi (his parents had)....they make nice cars, not good cars. Since VW is Audi parent and knowing a couple of owners, I don't have high expectations. I'm guessing the Scout will be decent, but once it gets over 5...
Using your logic...it really doesn't matter does it? Ford is still in business and selling Broncos, so if VW steps on their dick with the Scout, will it really hurt it?
QC issues in modern times aren't nearly as bad as they where 40 years ago. Quality metrics between nearly every make is...
So I did some digging into the assistance that the Bronco has vs other products Ford makes.
It appears that there is only one level of Copilot 360 available on the Bronco
You get lane keeping and auto break assistance (ie warning before you rear end someone-not sure if it applies the brake or...
I've never put mine in 4WD mode...LOL
Mostly because I've had no reason to...we haven't gotten snow worth a damn since I got it to try it out and when I've been "off road" its just been a trail that was nothing but flat ground to get to a camping site lol
I was messing with my Wife’s Bronco Sport with its auto lane keeping and adaptive cruise control when we first got it and I’m sold on it.
It works best on the highway on long drives-we took one and it helps lessen the amount of fatigue with constantly adjusting your speed and keeping car...
