  1. Dealership saying I need a new engine at 77k miles

    Once it is determined that the dealership is full of crap, you should share the name here so others won’t make the same mistake. Unless if you cooked the engine and it’s locked up, which I highly doubt, the chances of you needing a new one are about as slim as winning the lottery.
  2. Dealership saying I need a new engine at 77k miles

    Hole in radiator. Yup. Since the beginning of time when the first car was ever produced, a bad radiator has always meant new engine. Hope you don’t get a flat tire. They’ll tell you it’s totalled and need a new Bronco…preferably the 2023 Raptor currently sitting in the showroom for $125,000…
  3. Intermittent Braking Peculiarity

    Tell me about it…. Mr. Tire forgot Mr. Lug Nut… 2017. Needless to say, he was fired on the spot. Quality test drive check after a rotation/balance didn’t go so well for ole’ Cliff.
  4. Jeep Challenges Ford Bronco's "Best In Class" Advertising Claims, But NAD Sides With Ford

    I'm sure this topic is up there with discussing Mobile 1 and Castrol..... But I will say this, my own personal opinion from my own very limited experience in real world setting of the car being my primary vehicle and why I picked the Bronco (easily) over the Wrangler when I went shopping...
  5. Intermittent Braking Peculiarity

    Ah ok now I follow after reading that thread you posted. I get that too and I'm at 13k on the clock now with mine. I knew exactly what it was though the first time it happened, as an old 4Runner would do the same thing (2005). It had zerks on it though that you could easily hook up a grease gun...
  6. Periodic driveshaft thud/clunk after releasing brake

    Would this actually work? I've got it a bit too now (13k on the clock). I knew exactly what it was the first time it did it, as a former 05' 4-Runner owner. They had the zerk on the driveshaft and was easy to fill it up with grease to stop it from getting stuck. Would put in a tube of grease...
  7. Intermittent Braking Peculiarity

    Not just you, and I think what you’re saying is like sometimes it needs a split second or two to figure out what you’re wanting it to do? Mine does that sometimes as I’m coming in/out of the garage (did it again just a few minutes ago while slowing pulling out from the garage). Wanting to gently...
  8. Long Term Drivers’s Seat Wear

    Yeah they just don't make 'em like they used to anymore in general. We're on our second seat cover on our 2020 GLS at 80k miles. Same thing, sliding in/out over the last 5 years eventually split the side of it and smushed down the bolster. Or if you have a sports car with bolsters, they all get...
  9. Long Term Drivers’s Seat Wear

    Honestly, I think it's something to be considered as a wearable item, meaning we'll likely be replacing the foam pad itself after a few years, perhaps the cover too. It's actually not major surgery to do so. You may be surprised at just how basic and simple a car seat bottom actually is. I...
  10. Does Lux package give you a unfavorable view of Bang & Olufsen?

    I may be a bit long in the tooth for car stereo setups, but I have to agree that I don't think anyone can truly say a stock Ford stereo setup is going to be much past marginally decent. I think you could say that about most brands in general, not all, but most. Further emphasize the actual...
  11. Random Bronco Photos of the Day Thread! 📸 🤳

    Fantastic! I looked it up too. Legend! Man that intersection sure did change in 5 years time. Jumps from 2019 to your photo. Fields, to flex-space and apartments.
  12. Does Lux package give you a unfavorable view of Bang & Olufsen?

    I honestly don't really mind the BO system. I think it's totally acceptable for my needs and decided to just leave it alone instead of replacing speakers to upgrade it. Perhaps if the speakers start to fail, I will upgrade it then. Full disclosure: I am of the age were I turn it down to see...
  13. 2.7 exhaust system that has a bit of 'tone' AND NO DRONING?

    They look sharp! I clicked the link.....those tires are $500 a piece? Ouch! But they look good, that's for sure! Do you have a lift on it too, or are the tires making look like it's sitting up a bit higher? I'm a white letter guy for the Bronco though for mine. I'm ok with my stock OBX rims...
  14. 2.7 exhaust system that has a bit of 'tone' AND NO DRONING?

    I can’t comment on the exhaust, but would love to know what kind of wheels those are on your new Bronco?
  15. My front bumper sucks, please help me upgrade it

    If you have the accessory switch option in your bronco (instead of the sunglasses holder), it's very easy to add back the fog's into the modular bumper. I've got the modular with the factory bully bar and added flood/fogs from IAG. They take up two of the switches in the car, one for flood, the...
  16. 120mph police chase. Bronco takes out 6.

    God Bless The Blue! I know we do in this family. 100%.
  17. Dealership Service Upselling?

    I would have been one of your favorite customers amigo! When I bought mine, I did not haggle, I did not needle. I think they were a bit surprised to be honest that I didn't even try, and didn't bark at the $750 tacked on at the very end of the process that came out of left field. I noted it, but...
  18. Dealership Service Upselling?

    This is a great reason for forums like this to exist! While nobody can knock a business for trying to make money, there are certainly aspects of this that are hopeful the suspected buyer doesn't know any better. Not all of them though. Hey, I don't work for free, and will never ask someone to...
  19. World Ugliest 6G? You tell me.

    This looks like the owner, probably named Sinnamon, paid for it with cash that was folded longways. I don't know why, but when I look at this, I get this vision of Magic Mike and Sinnamon snorting lines off the armrest in the back parking lot of Fuddruckers in Myrtle Beach.
  20. Cracking Hard top replaced by Shadow Black Top?

    This would make the most sense to me, not only for the owner but for Ford as well since I think history is showing that the painted version is coming back for warranty replacement far less than the MIC is. Considering Ford is in the media for the catastrophic warranty costs to their profit...
