  1. Door net panel replacement -> Add-On's??? Brand's....

    I bought these two years ago while waiting for mine to get built, and have 0% complaints. Never hit my leg on them. I bought the door, center console saddle bags, and arm rest organizer. Love them all. Really like the door as they serve as a great spot to toss my wallet, phone, and whatever else...
  2. How far did you travel to pick up your Bronco ?

    Literally 5 minutes away, and that was a key element to why I bought one. I wanted a car brand that can be easily serviced if needed no matter where I am. If I'm in the countryside of eastern NC and have a problem - dealers everywhere. Or, at home here in the DC region - dealers everywhere. My...
  3. Orange Fury discontinued as of 2026 Job 2 production, but Oxford White Heritage Edition w/o Decals Being Added

    Seriously, someone needs to go to Dearborn with a handle of Jack and a bottle of Zoloft and start handing them out to the design team. Wash them down with the Jack until they're happy again and past this perpetual state of depression they have been in for the last 18 months. Henry Ford is...
  4. 2025 badlands B&O system VS 2024 B&O system

    I’ve got the 24 BO and I actually don’t think it’s all that bad. Granted, it depends on quality of music (garbage in / garbage out), but overall have no real complaints. Is it ā€œbitchinā€? No. But for the car itself, I think it’s just fine for me!
  5. Hardtop vs. Soft Top — What are you running this summer? ā˜€ļøšŸœļø

    Uh huh, sure. We’ll go with the hair color as the reason for the cooking of the brain back in the 70’s… What a long and strange trip it must’ve been, Jerry… šŸ˜‰šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜ˆ
  6. Bye bye privacy!!!

    Yes, this is true. What is not clear is if the timing still stands. Google this to learn more: Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Bill That should outline why this is happening….
  7. Ford Patents for ultra-surveillance/data collection in vehicles

    To validate the OP’s original post - Google this: ā€œSection 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Billā€ Ford is reacting to the US Gov requirements.
  8. Ford Patents for ultra-surveillance/data collection in vehicles

    Not calling him a bad guy, just illustrating the opportunistic and the insane demand for the space. He’s done a lot of good, 100%, and came up the hard way in life too. I have much respect for Charlie. But it’s also very obvious that there are notable influences that are letting these things get...
  9. Went car shopping

    Kicked some tires yesterday to waste some time. Not interested in replacing the Bronco, but wife’s car is getting up there in mileage (MB GLS). Nothing wrong with it, just curious what the market looked like today. Two conclusions…. First: I’d be really pissed if I had to buy a new car these...
  10. Ford Patents for ultra-surveillance/data collection in vehicles

    Yup! Back in the 2000's when AOL.com and Worldcom ruled, they laid fiber optic data cable everywhere out here. That became the backbone. Then, the data center folks put some people on the county zoning and planing boards, and all of the sudden things were approved left and right. New water pump...
  11. Ford Patents for ultra-surveillance/data collection in vehicles

    One last one - for you Google Earth people. You want to see what I'm talking about? Type in this address into Google Earth and take a street tour. This is just one of about 50 in my area that has popped up over the last 7 years or so. 21955 Loudoun County Parkway, Ashburn, VA
  12. Ford Patents for ultra-surveillance/data collection in vehicles

    I agree 100%, but the corporation aspect is even worse, as it's not subjected to the same scrutiny oversight as the government entities. It's a key reason why there are so many 3rd party "contractors". It's not the agency of data management creating and managing the cloud services for the CIA...
  13. Ford Patents for ultra-surveillance/data collection in vehicles

    I live in the data center capital of the world. They are literally destroying this county, and are now spreading out across the country. I've also financed a couple over the last few years and have written white papers on them. These facilities are as large as automotive manufacturing plants...
  14. $8/mo for connected Nav is too much.

    This is my first car with CarPlay (that is easy to use and worth it). Here in Virginia where radar detectors are illegal, WAZE is a must-have item. Not that I'm speeding around like a teenager, but it's nice to know when I'm approaching a cop car. In my area, it's about 90% accurate for the...
  15. Car wash etiquette please

    This. This is what makes this forum so damn good!
  16. Rattle sound on startup

    Could be the direct injectors warming up. On my cars, they're famous for being noisy like that. I presume on a cold start, they're the primary source of fuel to the cylinder until it warms up a bit and idles down, then over to the port injectors? I'm not really sure how the dual system works...
  17. Hardtop vs. Soft Top — What are you running this summer? ā˜€ļøšŸœļø

    Same. Dual top, and when the weather turns nice, it's 100% ST with the rear windows removed every chance I can get! I'm of the age where I need to turn down the stereo to see better, so I really don't care about hearing music (I don't even have it turned on most of the time anymore in general)...
  18. 2025 Pricing Opinion - Potenial Owner

    All-in meaning taxes tag title doc fee and so on? Truly all-in? If you’re ok with that number, which is Kind’ve hard to say if ok or not due to what your sales taxes are, then I’d push for a little more ancillary items. Tell them you’re fine with it, if they throw in the 10 year 100k extended...

  20. What are people actually paying for their Bronco right now?

    Ordered mine 12/24/23, paid full MSRP. With tax came out to around $62.5. Then another $3,500(ish) on aftermarket for tires, lights, knobs, flaps, etc to make a house a home. So, roughly $66k for mine. Ordered every option possible minus Sas. Second most expensive car I’ve ever purchased (and my...
