  1. Transmission fluid change questions

    I'm not aware of any videos, other than one I found on YouTube for an F150. I'd search on there for PPE pan and see what you can find. Sorry I'm not much help. I have home made lifts that are 3 10x2's bolted together and cut 45 degrees on each side that plateau at the top. I drive up them then...
  2. Dealer made me sweetheart deal on their last 24 Braptor - $30k off with a catch...

    Exactly my thoughts too.... Dealership is basically writing down the depreciation hit themselves on the Raptor, which is totally fine for them to do so long as they're passing that along to you too, which not knowing true cost of the Raptor to the dealership, there is no way to really know for...
  3. Changes to the 2025 Ford Bronco You May Not Know About

    Loss of the aux switches and rear locker is a real loss for the OBX for those of us who don't want the Sasquatch. Is the modular steel bumper and bully bar now a dealer installed option, or just gone in general for the non-sas too? The body colored fender flares, door handles, mirror caps and...

    Agree, but not wanting to forget that those wallets are the heart, soul, backbone and lifeblood of capitalism. We close those wallets, and even the giants will starve to death.
  5. Checked out a 2025

    I'm not one of them, trust me. I'm not losing any sleep over something as silly as a digital dashboard revision. Just talkin' cars...
  6. Checked out a 2025

    I can definitely see the need for a traditional tachometer in the manual, 100%! That, is certainly a drawback of the old dash that hopefully the new version will fix for the manual crowd! I'm sure you can "feel" it naturally, but would nice to have an easy and familiar display to glance at...
  7. Checked out a 2025

    No argument from me, I agree with you too! People always want what they don’t have, and it’s impossible to satisfy everyone at the same time. I’m not trying to knock the new dash, it is very very nice, and certainly adds more of a ā€œwowā€ factor to the experience. I don’t know. Just something...
  8. Checked out a 2025

    Let me rephrase, to ME, it takes away the feel of a retro throwback vibe. It also takes away some of the uniqueness of the Bronco when compared to the Explorer, because it’s obviously a shared parts bin decision. I think the ā€œtechā€ in the current version is perfect, all easily usable and...
  9. Checked out a 2025

    Checked out the 2025 this week, an OBX on the lot near my office. Probably not the popular opinion, but I’m sorry, the digital dash is a mistake. It kills some of the stand alone uniqueness charm of the Bronco throwback fun. Made me feel like ā€œhey, I’m not just a Bronco, but I’m a noisier...
  10. Attn: Jim Farley - Bring back Bronco brand manager Matthew Winter

    I haven’t a clue about all of this, this is my first Ford ever, only second American car ever, and I’m 51 years old and this Bronco is my 20th vehicle in my life. When it comes to the details in this thread, I’m just the guy on the curb looking in through the dealership window passing by. That...
  11. Transmission fluid change questions

    Whew, good to hear!! Looks like a different part number too between the two tags. Odd how his was folded up like that too instead of bunched up. I'm in agreement with you, and certainly going to listen to your experience, in that I can let this worry go to the side! When I do the drain/fill in...
  12. Painted top (fundamentally different?)

    Interesting thanks guys! I saw the link to the old post as well, helped to explain the difference. Seems like this current version (modular instead of molded) has a thicker/tougher skin. I wonder if a molded on a warranty claim for replacement could be switched to a modular instead of another...
  13. Transmission fluid change questions

    Well...sh*t. Guess I'll let the paranoia creep in now too, and will plan on taking my pan back off to get that damn tag out of there! Here's mine...see it? If that thing blocks the filter port and restricts the fluid flow, then no bueno.... Ford needs to issue a recall for this tag! My fluid...
  14. Use an extra qt of oil...

    In all seriousness, yes I do this, and have for the last 20 years on 10 cars with 0% engine problems. One poster mentioned karosene in the crank case of an old truck. You laugh, but that is a farmer’s trick to keep those tractors working for decades. It absolutely works to keep varnish at bay...
  15. Soft top liner separating

    Saw this on a carfax for a 2024…guessing the same thing?
  16. Painted top (fundamentally different?)

    I’ve now seen a few broncos with the factory painted top. I’m not sure how that’s going to be any better than the MIC top, unless if it’s more rigid and stronger inside of it? Seems like the paint would crack as it flexes? What about scratches too? Piano black shows everything. Am I missing...
  17. what problems/breakages should i expect from my 2024 Outer Banks

    It’s all in how you treat it! Yeah it’s a Ford, but you know what? I’ve heard horror stories about VW most of my life, and yet have owned 5 since my first 1987 GTI and they were all spectacular, so believe what you want. I came from over-engineered overly complex Mercedes to my Bronco. I have...
  18. Help naming my bronco.

    BigBird. Gives reference to full size, Bronco Badlands, and color to beloved object we all know. That, and it's pretty funny too! I'm a green OBX named Callahan in reference to the obvious Tommy Boy movie! StickerFab made me a custom sticker over the rear Ford badge of my avatar. I've been...

  20. Rival Reviewed: 2025 4Runner First Drive Reviews Are In

    All except the Wrangler are ā€œrivalsā€ only in the sense of being able to go off-roading. Otherwise, unless if you can take the top off, they’re all just ā€œdifferentā€. I am the perfect example. Coming out of a luxury German sedan, I wanted a convertible, and I wanted to sit higher up off the...
