when Oracle sent me a replacement set (which seemed identical to the ones that had rusted), I took them apart, sanded, primed, painted, and poly sprayed them). It's been a year now and they still look new.
If you primarily drive on backroads (not city, not highway), the mileage is not terrible. I can average over 25mpg at those speeds (4-door Wildtrak hardtop with roof rack). In the city, its weight is the problem. On the highway, it's the aerodynamics. On backroads at 40-45mph, it's pretty efficient.
Audi had it and other brands used to also. Such a no brainer.
You may not be a skier, but it is always preferable to put your skis in the car and just us a rack when you need. it.
I hate that there is no center pass through for the rear seats to put skis through while still being able to seat four people in the car - especially for people with soft-tops who don't have good options for roof racks.
This was my 88 Eddie Bauer edition with a 5-speed and bigger tires. It was a cool and good-looking little SUV. But it was dangerously easy to roll it with its dual I-beam front suspension.
Center pass-through in the rear seatback so skis can fit while comfortably seating 4 people. Also, the painted door handles I got on my 21 Wildtrak were dropped. They have a much higher quality feel to them compared to the MIC plastic. It's the first thing you touch every time you walk up so it...
I used it once on a Cape Cod beach in deep sand. It pivoted around impressively, but it dug itself into a hole while doing so. And then the ranger pulled up. He was highly displeased with my sorcery and nearly kicked me out. Yee haw. I've also used it on hard gravel, and it seemed like the car...
My 2021 Wildtrak got color coded door handles and piano black mirror caps, and the hood graphic along with the black emblems, beauty rings and grill. Otherwise you could configure a Outer Banks or Badlands to be virtually identical (except the disco, rear bumber, and a few small differences in...
Anytime my wife drives my Bronco, she complains that letters PRNDL don't light up next to the shifter. It doesn't bother me because I know it from feel, but I guess she likes the visual confirmation. I have to admit it's odd that they are not illuminated. The gauge cluster lights seems like a...
I have had a couple of friends looking to buy used Broncos and the 8-inch screen is a deal breaker. I got the "high" package on my 21 Wildtrak which gave me the big screen (no B&O but that's another story). Upgrading these earlier base and mid package Bronco screens might help their resale...
yikes. That's the rub with regular insurance. Only collector car insurance lets you dictate the value. Otherwise, if I wrecked my Shelby Cobra 427 replica, it would be appraised at about $2K as a 1995 Ford.
Well I agree that depreciation depends on the mod. But mods will greatly reduce the number of buyers who are willing to consider purchasing your car and it may sit on the market longer, unless discounted.
