I've got a 25 Bronco Big Bend with Black Diamond package. I want to give it a bigger tire and get some better looking wheels. I'd like to know if the following will work:

The main thing that kept me out of the 2-door is the smaller fuel tank and low range. It's a shame, really. It's a heavy vehicle that gets 18-22 mpg depending on motor, conditions, and how you drive it. It needs a 20+ gallon fuel tank.
The 10-speed automatic makes it barely feel different. I just got a loaner a couple of weeks ago while the dealer did recall work all day and the differences in daily driving feel are negligible.
Because it's lighter. I'm not religious about it. I have the 2.3 now. I had the 2.7 in my first Bronco. They're both fine. I just like driving around with the top off.
My guess is that by removing one of the engine/body combinations, you reduce one of the suspension development requirements and an entire lane of testing, thereby reducing the overall Bronco program costs. Each engine/body/transmission combination has to be tested thoroughly and has unique...
Ford overshot the mark and overpriced Bronco in my view. Is it a pretty unique product in the market? Yes, BUT I still have to be motivated enough to spend the money, right? It's not so much that they are competing directly on price against anything else. They are competing against whether I'm...
I think it's also wise to wait for better battery chemistry. Na-ion chemistry batteries tolerate the cold weather better as one example. I think EV's are still 5-15 years away from greatness. We also need the government to come in with regulations that open the OS source code and provide owners...
Yeah, I don't think I would buy a vehicle with so many proprietary parts and no rights to repair anything. Tesla has their customers by the balls. It's an iPhone on wheels. It's neat that it accelerates so well and if you own a home you start with a "full tank" every morning. Other than that...
Not a chance. Nobody will pay you 44k for your five year old pandemic built Bronco. Try to actually sell it and you will get little to no private party interest. You'll get nibbles from dealers but they will pay you *much* less than what KBB claims it's worth.
They all made the transition to turbo four's and brand new "infotainment" systems with a bunch of features that most people don't use or want. It's been a rocky road.
The only problem I've had on my 25 Big Bend w/Black Diamond package has been one of the rear windows doesn't drop fast enough when you pull the handle. It's noticeably slower than the other three windows.
You'd think it would be cheaper for Ford to build them to a higher quality level. All of these recalls and defects repaired at dealers cannot be cheap...
