Unfortunately Ford’s statement about fade is not wrong. Black plastic will lighten over time under sunlight exposure, so it’s no surprise that the new rear cap is darker than the mid panel from 2025 which is darker than the front panels from 2023. Any piecemeal replacement of panels is going to...
too expensive for me.
There’s more discussion here: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/ford-bronco-ebike-released-%F0%9F%9A%B2.98579/
The bikes are made by n+, who also brands these bikes as Mercedes and McLaren, with some different options. https://nplusbikes.com/
Unfortunately, that appears not similar at all. That PartsGeek connector is an 8 cavity connector, while the correct connector is a 6 cavity.
The correct one accommodates 3 different wire gages: 2 large (12 gage), 2 medium (14 gage) and 2 small (16 gage). In your photo, it looks like only 2...
sorta like this?
i imagine this is what cyber orange and orange fury would look like next to each other.

That does look better - a little more red tint to it. I guess if it’s a metallic tri-coat, it will noticeably change color depending on light quality and direction.
Still, I want to see a more bold orange like @broadicustomworks is doing, or a deep copper orange like the below simulation...
But I have 2 cut keys already - the fob I carry with me has one of the cut keys. It’s just the third key that I left blank in the console. I’ll cut it if l lose one of the original two key+fob sets.
I don’t see a $5 subscription option on their website. Do you signup for one of the regular Roam plans and then change to Standby for $5/mo and can stay in that mode indefinitely?
I only used it a few times while it was free after purchasing the Bronco. I mainly use CarPlay and Google Maps. GoogleMaps lets you download off-line maps so you can still navigate and see the map when you lose cell signal and only have GPS. Plus Google Maps has surprising amount of off-road...
Hence the gov’t recent push into AI and datacenters, integration of Musk’s GROK at Dept of War, and Musk’s shift from electric cars into AI and robots? Data is power.
That’s what I did. Since I only need one good key to cut the blank, for now I put a key tag on the blank and tossed into my center console. Whenever I drop off my Bronco at the dealer or am forced to use valet service, I just release the fob part from my personal key ring and clip in the blank...
You are making assumptions and creating misinformation by suggesting “they were looking for a specific result” or concluding “data manipulation is why”.
Edmunds tested both without AC and with AC.
The AAA study and the Oak Ridge National Labs study published in SAE both tested vehicles per the...
I agree ideally, the system should allow you to make a selection and have that selection persist across key cycles until the driver changes it. The question is how does it get tested for fuel economy if it doesn't always default to on.
I haven't read the procedure but according to this C&D...
The "public responses" I was referring to were the "public responses made by the manufacturers" to C&D. The JohnQPublic's responses are certainly less...careful...and more honest.
I never read that Opel Kadett review before. That was good! "A rolling potpourri of mediocrity" is how I feel about most Toyotas. :) That was definitely a car assassination. Oh, there's those letters again, "ass..." so I guess were still on-topic.
Yates was another great writer. I forgot about that SRT-10 review - that's one of the C&D issues I still have and it was fun to read again in its original version.
I remember Phillips' Cadillac EXT review disappeared from their website shortly after it was published. No doubt Cadillac was very...
Any public responses (by the OEMs) are going to be tuned to at least not offend the current administration in power. Ford’s statement reads as a bit of an ass-kiss to President Trump and Administrator Zeldin. The situation is complex with a lot of factors to consider, so quick decisions and...
