I ordered my 2DR Bronco in Oct. 2021 (Base model). My daughter ordered her 4DR OBX about a week later. My 2022 was delivered in late Nov. 2022, and her 2023 in January. The dealer held to the original 2021 price tags for both.
Now this was before the 2023 increases you talked about, but we...
Well, it may be BS for 10% over -- but there has to be some size limit to what will be supported for the drive train. I felt comfortable going to 32s on my Base because the OBX supported the same drive train as stock. The dealer did tell me 10% over -- whether that was BS or not.
Are you...
Seems like this happened to me with my Base 2-door order in November. I contacted the dealer and he could see it in his system and said "no problem". He was right. I got my Bronco a rew of weeks later.
Of course... if your dealer sucks... who knows.
In my post I forgot that 32s are standard on OBX. I went from Base 30s to OBX 32s and remained well within the 10% overage (if that is in fact is something to worry about).
If the OBX has 32s as stock, then 35s would only be 9.375% over.
Makes me wonder what is the largest tires on a Ranger...
I'll be interested to see how that 3.73 differential is off road.
Just an FYI (and my dealer may be wrong)... if you go over 10% up on tire size Ford might give you grief on any drive-line problems under warranty.
Hope it works out. It looks nice!
Play with having one or both windows rolled up just a little. I think the 2-door (like most all vehicles... my wife's Forester comes to mind) has a resonant frequency... and one window rolled up a bit (or both) changes that frequency and changes the wind motion.
I always drive with the back...
I've got a stock base 2-door, but did add some OBX tires from CL, and some Clamber tube running boards. Since the OBX 32s are pretty much stock for any 2.7 with a 3.73 differential -- I figure that is as close to stock as you can get since the drive train is the same (i.e. auto with the 2.7)...
Well, sorry but the graph makes no sense to me. You have miles column), and then a dollar amount for each year column.
For the 3rd year at 36,000 miles it cost nothing because it is standard. That makes sense.
However, after that is that the cost per year for each year... or what. Do you...
Wow... 19 MPG with a Badsquatch -- that's amazing. Especially with the description of your driving.
You know one thing I've been thinking about (being here in CA)... people should also be reporting whether they are USING ETHANOL "enhanced" gasoline or just plain old REAL gasoline. I know...
When I went from steelies to OBX tires/rims I asked if that was OK before I did it, and was told that that was OK because it didn't exceed the 10% over the original size. Of course, an OBX in the same format comes with 32" tires, and these are only < 7% over in size from the steelies anyway...
I think a big difference will be had if you go over 70 also. I tend to go about 68, but noticed that above 70 my mileage really goes down.
Question (for anyone) -- has anybody tried the different GOAT modes to see what difference they make? I haven't.
I went from steel-rims (30s) to some 32 OBX tires/rims. As I said previously I have the 3.73 rear end.
Just checked for 111 mile trip (out and back)... gaining about 2000 feet in altitude... and then lost it (of course on the way back). 98% was on the highway going 68 miles per hour (set the...
Well, I agree with your "not built in China" emphasis... although Neiko has factories in both Taiwan and China. I wouldn't know where your particular set is made.
The tool I recommended is distributed by Golden Coulee... which is a distributor out of La Crosse, Wisconsin. Of course, they...
Well, this is an old thread... but I believe in providing information. In this case on the modular bumper Torx Plus 40. I bought this one on Amazon for $9.99 (single bit). It does the job nicely. No slip. Worked with a 1/2 ratchet. Even says Torx Plus on the bit.

I'm thinking when I bought the OBX tires/wheels from a guy... he had taken out the TPMS sensors already. Who would have thought... dishonesty on Craigslist (boo hoo). Oh well, I got them for a good price (< $500).
I took the Bronco on a 20 mile ride... after about 20 miles on the new tires...
I used the lug nuts (chrome) from my steelies and now use them on my OBX wheels/tires I bought. Everything seems to work fine, and I like the look.
Now I just got to figure out if the wheels in fact have TPMS in them. I'm starting to think they don't since the Bronco still registers the...
Can anyone give me recommendations to non-Ford (aka cheaper) sensors that do work with Bronco -- that don't have to be programmed before installation? I was looking at Schrader, but those all need to be programmed 1st.
Thanks
Just got some OBX tires and wheels to put on my Base Bronco. The guy said that the TPMS was in them, but I'm not so sure that is the case. How I do test new (to me) OBX tires without a relearn tool. I rode them around for about 10 miles, and it still "sees" the old ones. I thought I read...
I have a 2-door Base with 2.7 and automatic, and 3.73 rear end. These figures are with the 16" steelies on them. At 65 I can get 23 MPG. At 68 I get around 22.8. At 70 I get around 22 MPG. I've got around 500 miles on the engine, and these are highway miles except I do a 1400 foot climb...

That Rockhard 4x4 slider/step looks really clean. Little expensive for me at $1000, but they look very nice. Quite impressed.
