  1. How much is your registration renewal....

    Illinois is 2nd highest in the nation by some measures although 5th by this one https://www.datapandas.org/ranking/car-registration-fees-by-state We are fixed(all non EVs personal vehicles the same) for base plates with most specialty plates being an extra $25/year. I think registration does...
  2. Admit it, your rig is a "mall crawler"...

    It is my wife's truck, but she hates to shop so it has never seen a mall parking lot. It is her daily commuter and it has seen ONLY payment over its first 15k miles.
  3. 2025 Manual Transmission Thread

    It lists 2021-2023 and not 2024+ is this a typo or did something change. We have a 2024 and my wife has made no negative comments about the pedal play. Her previous vehicles were XTerra and previously a pair of Rodeos. She has 500k+ SUV manual tranny miles so I'm sure she is adaptable.
  4. 2025 Manual Transmission Thread

    Never having driving a Ford manual tranny or any other American manual tranny before I found the shifting intuitive and the clutch travel obvious. I can definitely understand that automatic tranny drivers are delusional about their manual skills. We are the the Offrodeo in TN at the end of May...
  5. How many windshields (including replacements) have you gone through?

    11k miles on a trip to the Twin Cities in a snow storm my wife cracked her windshield. Based on all the advice I had lowered the deductible on the Bronco with this situation in mind. We will see how well State Farm handles it.
  6. First new Ford...Probably the last Ford

    We've NEVER owned an American car so our '24 Big Bend 7MT is our first. We've owned Japanese made Honda, Nissan, and Toyota along with American made versions of other Japanese cars. We've owned a pair of VWs from Mexico. Overall the interior and exterior of this is comparable. Human factor...
  7. 🚨Any MANUAL Bronco Owners in Here??🚨

    We already have a tire cover representing our university. I appreciate the replication of the shift knob top, but for me it looks oversized and unnatural so even I didn't have a cover I wouldn't be interested.

  10. Checked out a 2025

    Am I alone in the fact that customizing the dash is the least important part of vehicle ownership? Personally our complaints with our '24 are more related to parking brake location, heat loss out the roof during cold weather, tailgate open order(glass first), and road noise. As somebody said if...
  11. Automatic E Brake on a manual Bronco

    It is my wife's Bronco so I haven't driven it much and it isn't intuitive vs. my other 3 current manual transmission vehicles. Saving space is nice, but making it less obvious has its drawbacks. I do like hill rollback assist that is in my VW so obviously it can be done. It could be as easy...
  12. Insurance cost on Bronco?

    I have 4 vehicles insured via State Farm and they are basically the same(Chicagoland super safe suburb): 2024 Bronco Big Bend 2015 VW Golf 2014 Infiniti Q60 2012 Nissan XTerra car or SUV doesn't really make a difference it is all the driver. Note: I did lower my deductible on the Bronco to $100...
  13. Is it just me or is the AUTO HVAC setting bunk?

    Chicagoland here. My wife keeps it at 75 and the heated seats on max. When it get a chance to drive her Bronco I turn off the seats and turn it to a still too hot, but more reasonable 72 as she's always in the passenger seat.
  14. Rival Reviewed: 2025 4Runner First Drive Reviews Are In

    The Bronco replaced my wife's 2012 XTerra with 230k miles. We still have the XTerra and we are selling our VW instead. I used to have respect for German cars, not any more after a pair of duds.
  15. Rival Reviewed: 2025 4Runner First Drive Reviews Are In

    We would've bought a 4Runner as we've never owned American before the Bronco, HOWEVER the lack of manual transmission made the decision for us.
  16. Opinions on price deal presented by dealer

    All manual transmission Broncos only come with the 2.3L.
  17. Advice to purchase extended warranty

    I've never bought an extended warranty, but then again this is the first American car we've ever bought. We bought the 7/125k ExtraCare. My wife has a long commute and drives mostly highway and will average 25k miles per year or more.

  19. Illinois New 4-Door Soft Top Chicagoland $700obo

    https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/soft-top-hard-top-swap-tips-lessons-learned-updated.35246/ I assume is the thread. Rear Latch Brackets -- super easy for me to remove Rear Cargo Access Panel -- seems like an exchange is required as I have the version with a cutaway Frame Bolt and Bracket...
