Once VW told my uncle they had no new products in the R&D pipeline to replace the Beetle, he took on the Datsun franchise and I got to see the 1960s Nissan Patrol for the first time. Clearly they studied the Land Rover 88. Those old Patrols deserve serious respect...
Car & Driver ordered a 2022 7-speed manual transmission-equipped 4-door Bronco Badlands with the Sasquatch package and had the time of their life over 40,000 miles.

"I totally fell for the Bronco. From the interior design to the view out of the nearly vertical windows, the Bronco is a unique and special experience. The manual gearbox would be hard for me to pass up. The clutch pedal is light, and the shifter slots into gear without any fuss."...
The trim level that would allow Ford to "peg it" with the Bronco brand is the iconic "Heritage Edition" fitted with the 5.0 liter V8.
Perhaps named the "Heritage 302", it would recall the signature 1969 thru 1977 Bronco powered by the 302 (5.0 liter) V8. This is the spec that brought the Bronco...

Goodyear Tire & Rubber is selling its Off-the-Road equipment tire business to Japan's Yokohama Rubber for $905 million in cash, to streamline its business.
Goodyear last year announced plans to cut costs and slim down its portfolio, including its chemical unit, its...
Has anyone done it?
It appears I need to order the standard floor panel, (4) tie-downs and rear plastic trim.
I'm unclear if the standard tie-down bolts (small and large washer?) are the same used for the slide-out tailgate mounting.
In all these years of detailing, I had everything imaginable. But not now. For my Heritage (those magnificent white wheels) and the Everglades, I need a way to clean the inner wall of recessed lug nut cavities.
Has anyone tried this type of brush. Both high-end detailing suppliers...
Just posting a few thoughts.
I see the Everglades as being a quasi Bronco equivalent to the Ineos Grenadier, though significantly cheaper and easier to maintain.
Despite the additional $15,400 chicken tax making the Ineos Quartermaster pickup sell for around $90,000*, North America customers are...
I know the Heritage has a white grille with "Ford" lettering.
Is there such a thing as a carbonized gray grille (e.g. Everglades) albeit with "Ford" lettering in lieu of "Bronco"?
I prefer Ford on my grille. I don't need to be reminded it's a Bronco.
Thank you in advance.
My Heritage (not Limited) has a carpeted floor with rubber mats. The tits underneath them, atop the carpet, ensure the mats never slide around.
However, the $160 optional plastic "Floor Liners, Front and Rear without Carpet Floor Mats" in my Everglades (rubberized floor alike Badlands) keep...

BFGoodrich has announced the All-Terrain T/A KO3 tire as the successor to the legendary KO2.
As things currently stand, the new KO3 is factory-equipped on the new Ford Ranger Raptor and certain...
My Hyundai Elantra GT (Golf-like hatchback) has a very inexpensive and simple "deadbolt" design locking system. Note it's a "no key" design. I appreciate being able to lock out thieves.
I don't appreciate Ford for not providing me with fuel fill door locking functionality on my $55k and $62k...
This is simple......I'd like to install the K&N replacement air filter (E-0634) on a couple of 2024 2.3L Broncos, but I read a couple of reviews on the K&N and Amazon sites saying the inside diameter is different from the Ford OEM filter and thus the K&N doesn't fit well.
Has anyone here...
I contacted Mag-Hytec yesterday and encouraged them to introduce a pan for the 10R60. Their aluminum pans dissipate heat, have a drain plug and magnet, and add oil capacity.
I joined a construction company years ago as maintenance manager whose vast fleet of Super-Duties were going through...
