Jerry, yes you understand those are the choices I had, A wasn't going to work since I didn't want to pay a crap load of money and get a sub-standard Bronco, lots did at MSRP and now have a Bronco they don't truly desire. I considered C, which maybe I would have gotten this year and maybe I...
So, I apologize for the length of this post upfront, yep, it's one of those. I'll try to stay on point.
Chrolonogy of events:
Late last year, hear grinding noise for the first time. I think well maybe, I got some mud or dirt wedged in the clutch or pressure plate, not sure you can do that...
The housing example works pretty well, oddly enough, when it comes to housing people understand market economics, leave housing and people don't, or simply refuse to understand market economics.🤷♂️
I know this is a hot buttom topic for many and what I'm about to say isn't condoning dealers doing this, but it is the system in which we voluntarily operate in. This is a capitalist economy, or free market economy if you will. Someone is going to make it big and take advantage here. So if...
I live in Florida and find it hard to believe his seats got to 190. I have the MGV and would never choose another seat option. Maybe it's I'm a dad and I wear unstylist cargo shorts all the time and this is never an issue, plus I have tinted windows, what person wouldn't get tinted windows...
Yeah man, I am getting more happy I paid a little over MSRP when I did, I've had my 2 door, manual Badlands now for days shy of a year now and 2023 order banks appear to have treated people wrong and the 2023 MSRP was only about $400 less than what I paid for the 2022 and that's even if I could...
YIKES man, yeah it appears Royal Purple is terrible and it's expensive. I just figured lots of people use it as a racing oil, but maybe when they've used it, it was never for a turbo motor, is that why the higher psi is required?
I'd recommend a 2" leveling kit, it would restore some of the articulation you lost with the larger tires, but if you source some SASQ suspension parts, you'd probably be fine. The 2" leveling kit from Zone Off Road was about $150. Plus you'll need a new alignment. Looks good though👍
Yep, was gonna say, I don't know what exactly used owners are getting, but all the prices I see here in Florida are still really high. I thought they were coming down, but none can be found for under $40K, base, 2 door and MT. Anything like a WT or Badlands is like $60K and above. Maybe...
I'm about to take my Bronco in to get the manual transmission issues fixed and wondered what everyone's thoughts were on the Ford tune. I guess last I checked it was $825 and gave a bump to 330Hp and 385TQ if memory serves me well. I guess it also does a few other things too. That to me seems...
Damn, I feel used now, so you think it's the dealer just not giving a 💩? I will call them and if they give me the runaround, I will call and go to another dealer for sure, thanks for the heads up
Exactly my thoughts. Yes you are right, they are wrong, customer service is getting worse not better overall. But he's right, the difference between a Badlands and a Badlands Sasq is minimum. I know I got a stripped Badlands and did my own Sasquatch for a fraction of the price. Now to be...
I love the manual, Ford got it right offering one and also the clutch is perfect, shifts well and it super fun to drive....HOWEVER, mine is one assembled with the rocks in it from China, yes it's a Chinese transmission, wish it wasn't but it is. Mine makes the sounds it's not supposed to make...
Yes agreed, the difference between a Badlands NON-SAS and a SAS is .43". I have a Badlands that I did a 2" leveling kit to get me at and above the SAS level, plus these look way cooler level than with a rake for sure. I also got some SAS pull-offs. But to be fair, Obviously, I'm a cheapskate...
Yes sir, I do appreciate the extra info, I am still new to be up front, so I appreciate your info. I do have an extra flat strap to extent the winch rope. I have been watching a few of the "more decent" YouTube channels trying to get some free education about the use and misuse of winches. I...
