Yeah, I had watched one video where an engine rebuilder said that the taxis and police cars had pretty good engine internals despite the wear because they not only had very regular and tight intervals but also used the same oil brand and formula all the time. I guess that makes for less chance...
So there was a guy that said you could get a full set of 5 from Ford for $50, that wasn't my experience, but maybe you can. I opted to swap mine out from my Badlands rims to the Sasq pull-offs I found because they didn't come with them. I thought it was around $200 and I'd still have to...
I got a Curt aftermarket hitch, it suits me fine, I may occasionally tow a small trailer but mainly use it for bikes and very small stuff like that. I mean the tow capacity is small anyways. It's mounting position is pretty robust. I did use it for a recovery a couple times and it's not bent...
These are laughable intervals. Yes new tech in oil and other fluids is great and they are way better than they used to be but come on, this stuff still gets dirty. These are nuts. I keep my vehicles a low time, so my maintenance schedule is a little more aggressive than these crazy time and...
I guess you were right, I swear I saw this before, I think their wrong pic through me off, it's missing the "4A" spot. Also, it's weird because they have both selections available, part-time and full-time.
I amend my earlier opinion, I would simply get the Badlands non-SAS, of course with a 7...
Ford sort of ruined that question for 2024, I would have said Non-sas Badlands, but now, you can't get the 4A transfer case unless you order the SAS. Mine was a Non-sas Badlands, but it came with all the goodies, I did upgrade tires/wheels later, but already had the better transfer case, now...
I helped a friend order a OBX for herself, she said she'd never take it off road, most likely, but might tow with it. I said either way, get the better locking rear axle, not only better for off-road, if she ever goes, but better for towing as well. I also talked her into the aux switches, to...
Cool, I have been on the fence about this for some time, partly for the same reason. The black does look cool and everyone has the silver rims. I actually started with the Badlands rims, which I liked, but when I saw these pull-offs, I figured I'd keep the rims as they were a 1/2" larger I...
I went with Redline 75W85 as well, I like Valvoline too, but I wasn't sure if I needed the Hypoid stuff. Not really sure if that's necessary, but that's the route I went.
Yes, I was going to add the only thing I hate so far is the RC tailgate support, it sucks, wasn't curved correctly and I already knew better from all the other crap they built, typical Chinese quality. That was the first and last Chinese RC item I ever buy.
So far, I only have the stock ones and while not ideal, they have held up to the wheeling I have done, which I'd describe as more hard core than most, but not really hard core, I mean I live in Florida and there's very few real rock crawling places here. If I lived out West, I'd probably be...
Final update, I guess I should have kept my complaints to myself, all is good, got my baby back and she shifts well and makes no noise, even gave it a bath today and drove it to the football game and watched the home team smash the visitors.😁
Just a quick update on this thread, my dealer just called and he said it was ready for pick-up, which is awesome, I hate not having my Bronco. Now, I need to test drive it to make sure it's fixed correctly. Fingers crossed as I'm assuming it is, but I have tremedous bad luck sometimes, so...
Yes, agreed, it's not like I stumbled into my Bronco without thinking and figuring through all the options and I certainly didn't want to get stuck with a Big Bend🤣, which I could have had for MSRP, but open axles, street tires, no skids, etc, etc, if I wanted a mall crawler, plenty were out...
Very true, I really can't take it to another dealer at this poitn, but could for future issues if need be, but it sounds like, as sad as it is, this maybe is the norm now, which to me seems crazy. And I agree, if they fix it right, all this will be a distant memory in a very short time.
Your anology doesn't really work man, I gotta tell you. As a realtor myself, we don't own the product, we are brokers. We work for the people that hire us the owners. Now if you'd like to use realtors that work for a builder, your anology holds up a little better, but still not good...
