  1. Pickup imitating a pinball machine on icy Portland roads

    I've lived in Portland for almost 30 years now, and I do not understand how Oregonians are such awful drivers in wintery conditions (not just snow/ice but rain as well) considering that this happens pretty much every year for at least a day or so. This person just simply does not know how to...
  2. Latest Ford Sync update deleted all of my saved map locations

    OK, not happy about this one. The latest OTA update 3.5.3 has deleted all of my saved map locations. I had some special hunting and fishing places that are way off of paved roads and are really challenging to navigate in the dark stored in my saved locations, and I am really unhappy that those...
  3. How vulnerable is Bronco's catalytic converter to theft ?

    I am sure everyone knows about the rise in catalytic converter theft nationwide. Portland has been one of the places where theft has been rampant. Since I don't think like a thief and don't know quite how they are able to carve out a cat in 30 seconds (according to police), is the Bronco...
  4. Question about best way to go up a steep snow-covered, rocky hill?

    Hi B6Gers, So just got back from a hunting trip in Montana (very successful) and the Bronco did great in the snow and sub-zero temperatures. However I do have a question for future trips on on particular aspect of my off-roading experience. The basic question is, what is the best mode/way to...
  5. Accuracy of “Miles to Empty” on dashboard

    So I have taken it down to 5 miles and 6 miles remaining to empty according to my Bronco. However, the fill up amounts have been different by almost a gallon. The first time I dropped down to “5 miles to empty” I filled up 21.46 gal. for a 20.8 gal. tank according to the owner’s manual. But it...
  6. First road trip for my BL from Portland, OR to Ennis, MT

    So after nearly 5 months, I finally got to take my Bronco BL somewhere other than paved roads (although there were are lot of miles covered on paved roads on this trip). Drove from Portland, OR to Ennis, MT to see family and do some fly fishing. Doubled the miles on my Bronco from 2k to 4k...
  7. Auto start/stop disabled but I didn’t do anything

    Not sure if there is a better section to put this in, so mods please move if needed. I so when I first got my bronco I had to press the button in the middle of the dash to turn off the start/stop functionality. however sometime in the past week, and I don’t know what caused it, I no longer...
  8. Safe to drive without rear section of MIC top?

    I did a search, but could not find anything that answers this question. Can you drive around with only the first two sections of the MIC top installed, without the rear section? it doesn’t look like there’s anything that will keep the first two sections from moving around without the rear...
  9. I feel gypped by Ford on my cup holders (manual vs auto)

    So my day at the Las Vegas Off-Rodeo was a blast and a great learning experience about the capabilities of the Ford Bronco. However, I did find out a difference between my manual BL and the automatic BLs we had for the Off-Rodeo regarding the cup holders in the front. the BLs were 2021 models...
  10. Anyone having “dropout” problems with satellite signal?

    Just curious if other bronco owners are having problems with reception on their satellite radio? Mywife has SiriusXM in her Subaru and it almost never loses the radio signal. But my bronco loses the signal for a few seconds all the time even when I am not driving near tall trees or powerlines...
  11. Does anyone use Ford Streaming?

    I got this email from Ford today: Never used it, don't even know what it is really. I use SiriusXM and did the free 3 month extension (so 6 months total), and use Carplay. But the dealer never talked to me about "Ford Streaming". Am I missing something? Is this a useful thing? Or is this...
  12. Had a Costanza event today - We had a deal!

    So I had a true George Costanza experience today. Driving down a rural road today, there was a mourning dove on the road on my side. I was approaching around 50 mph and as I closed in, the bird wasn’t moving. And I thought this bird needs to move soon. I didn’t change speed or direction (really...
  13. My 1 month summary of the likes and dislikes for my Bronco Badlands

    Hi all, This isn't meant to be a flamethrower on the Bronco, or a love-fest either. It is just my feelings on the vehicle after one month of ownership. I think most of the folks on this forum are Bronco enthusiasts and will love their Bronco like their own child, but I also think there are...
  14. Screw size for rear license plate frame?

    So I just got my plates today, and was going to put them on, but the dealer did not provide the screws where the plate goes in the back bumper. Before I head to Home Depot to buy some, does anyone know what the screw size is? As I am typing this I don't even know if the screw size is standard...
  15. Anyone done some analysis on the different ceramic coatings out there?

    So my PPF got delayed for a couple of weeks so I was thinking of doing a DIY ceramic coating on my Bronco. Talked to a buddy who had done it on his Subaru and Honda. He likes the Adams brand and recommends the bottle over the spray. Seems like everyone has a "ceramic coating" out there. Hard to...
  16. Is the Extended Service Plan (PremiumCare) a good value based on the Bronco service schedule?

    Hi all, With my Bronco finally in hand, looking at the extended warranty and service plans. The warranty is somewhat appealing from a risk mitigation factor. Pricing from Flood Ford is at little over $2K for 8 years and 100K miles. One major kablooey and the plan pays for itself. On the fence...
  17. The Jolly Green Giant came home today

    After 20 long months since my reservation, my 4dr Bronco Badlands arrived at the dealer yesterday, and I picked her up today. Even though she is a "she" I am still going to call her the Jolly Green Giant, because all I wanted to say when I got her home was "Ho, Ho, Ho"!. Love the green, it...
  18. Did the Universal Garage Door Opener get added to the "High" package?

    Hello all, I thought the universal garage door opener only came on the LUX package. However in my online "Ford customer guide" the universal garage door opener shows up in my list of capabilities. I guess I am asking "is this a mistake"? or did Ford actually start putting this into the HIGH...
  19. Rear Splash Guards and Rock Rails?

    I know about the issues with the front splash guards ( Part No: M2DZ16A550AA ) and the rock rails. But the product info for the rear splash guards says the same thing (not compatible with rock rails). But the rock rails are only BETWEEN the wheels, right? It shouldn't have any impact on the rear...
  20. Build sheet vs Ford reservation website

    I am probably using the wrong words/terminology for this, so apologies in advance. I have submitted an order via my Ford dealer to convert my Bronco reservation to a MY22 order. My question is that my dealer sent me a photo of what he says is the "build sheet". It looks correct (except for...
