So I've read through this thread on and off (as well as wheels/tires threads). I've been debating about making some lift mods to my 4dr, BD, non-Sas, 2.3L Auto, Tow. Originally I wanted to purchase a Badlands, but couldn't really justify the additional 5-7K extra it was going to be at the time...

They look great and I would be interested, but unfortunately based in NY. Good luck with the sale!

Hey Everyone! I have an extra set of front roof panel bags for a 4 Door Hard Top Bronco. The bags are new, factory sealed and have not been used. Looking for $75 or best offer. Local pick-up available on Long Island, NY or I can ship if buyer pays for shipping.

Not at the moment. Using a standard 2" drop hitch with a ball currently.

Honestly, in my opinion if you are within the tow rating and gross vehicle weight, having proper balance and tongue weight is more important. The Bronco has plenty of power and braking for a 3k lb trailer. It's the suspension that is the limiting factor. That can be aided by having a correct...

You can check out this thread: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/towing-yamaha-sx195-with-2-3l-black-diamond-bronco.27689/ I gave my thoughts about towing my boat with a 2.3L Auto Black Diamond 4dr. Granted I don't have too much mileage on it, and can't speak for elevation. But as far as...

Mass doesn't always win. Mass is involved in the equation, but really its change in momentum and deceleration (which includes mass as one of the variables). The biggest factor in car crashes is simply time. The longer you can make the impact last, the longer you can spread/absorbed the opposing...

Everyone has different needs. Most major banks looking just in general have rates in the 3-4% just looking online if you have a decent credit card. Like I said whatever works for you and your needs.

I only put 2k down, so only about 5% of the total cost. I didn't want to tie up more cash with a decent rate like that. I plan to pay it off pretty quick so it works for my needs.

The trailer has surge brakes so non-electric. I'm sure air bags, stiffer suspension or weight distribution hitch could make this set up better and comfortable tow more weight. That being said, stock set up as is functions fine for my needs at the moment.

Glad to hear it! Yeah the 195 series is a super light 19ft boat so I wasn't worried about the Bronco pulling it, but was pleasantly surprised at how well it handled it. As far as the boat, I love it. This was our 4th season with it here on Long Island. I've grown up on and around a variety of...

You are correct, 2.3L Auto with mid and factory tow package. As far as I'm aware the anti-sway is a feature that's built in. I haven't found it in a menu to activate or deactivate so I'm assuming it's just an always on feature.

Yeah it handles it no problem. Like I said I would probably be okay even up to 5k, but I think you would have to manage the sag and tongue weight. Plus the liability aspect in the event of emergency. Good luck with the overlanding trailer!

I do have the advanced 4x4 and Mid package. Might be a glitch on your end unfortunately.

*Update 7.25.22* Full update in post #34 along with some boat photos for those interested. TL;DR is the Bronco has been fantastic towing this summer including an 800+ mile trip across New York for a charity boat race. _____________________________________________ Hey Everyone! I wanted to...

Recently bought my Black Diamond from Stephen's. Originally had 2.9 from my.local credit union. Ford Financing (Capital One in this case) beat it at 2.1. I have pretty decent credit so your mileage may vary, but I was good with that rate over 72mo.

Now that it is in my possession, figured I would contribute to the thread. 4dr A51 Black Diamond w/ MIC. Picked up from Stephen's Auto in WV this weekend.

So I wanted to make a quick post here now that the weekend has settled. Picked up my Area 51 Black Diamond, MIC, non-SAS from Stephen's this weekend on Saturday and much like others in this thread, I made my 10 hour trip back to Long Island, NY. Everyone at Stephens was a pleasure to work with...
