I got the NMO mount from Rugged Radio that goes on the driver's side mirror mount. Radio works fine considering it isn't the optimum mounting location for a two-way antenna. I can't speak to the effects of RF from that mounting location.

I agree. Not hard but not as easy as I was hoping. And BONUS - The passenger side valance panel that you speak of, broke loose on mine too when installing LED bulbs. Off to the hardware store for some JBWeld. Not all that impressed with the "snap together" assembly of newer vehicles. Makes...

No. I started working at the local Ford dealership right out of high school. Over the years I've had one VW Rabbit, one Dodge Caravan, two Honda Accords and all the rest were fords. Ranger Xtra Cab, two Bronco II's, two Explorers, a Bronco Sport and an F-150 Raptor. And then the Bronco BD...

I didn't do a stripe. I did the Black Diamond hood decal. BTW - I really like the BFG's with the RWL's.

I relocated mine on a hot day. Extremely easy.

I always run 91 octane. On the highway I consistently get 21 - 21.5.

Windshield, grill and the back of the side mirrors have to be done by hand because of bugs. I hand wash more than I'm accustomed to because mine is Oxford White and the black top "bleeds".

In warm weather, they are very easy to remove. Slow and steady so you don't deform them if you plan to reuse them like I did. I wanted to relocate them to make room for the Bronco script logo.

I’m still not impressed with the connectivity. Not only the Apple CarPlay, but the Bluetooth in general. My screen will lock on the bronco logo three out of ten startups. CarPlay only connects seven or eight out of ten times. I still get the audible notification but no visual notification...

The plate has an opening for the NMO mount. Take out the factory bolts, loosely secure the plate with the bolts, mark the plastic cover to line it up, then the only thing that needs to be drilled is the plastic. Cable routes through the opening near the hood hinge and down to the grommet for...

I recently updated my phone and my wife's phone to iOS 18. Update went fine but text alerts stopped displaying on her 2021 Explorer and my 2023 Bronco BD. On hers, I had to go into phone settings and re-enable the setting for "Show Message Notifications". To do this on an iPhone, go to...

I did. Jeeps, in my mind, are more utilitarian. Mine sure rode like it and handled like it anyway. It was fun to own as a "beater" vehicle. I put a 1.5" lift kit on it and 1" spacers just for a beefier look. Traded the Jeep for a Bronco Sport, kept it a couple years then traded my 2018...

Now I’m getting irritated enough to send it in for service. 81 degrees today. Sunny. So I take a short trip with windows open and I can feel cold air from the vents. Fan speed set at “1”. Temperature control at “Lo”. A/C off according to the climate console. No lights on the console. I return...

I bought McGards right after I got my 2023 BD. Same logic - Spare is a pretty easy grab with just three lug nuts. I got the same feedback; waste of money, easy to defeat, etc. Only regret I had was posting about it.

Exactly what mine does. Hasn't irritated me enough to schedule it for service only to be told its normal.

I have them. I got them through Crutchfield. I love them. I put Kicker 51KSC6504 speakers in them. Very well made. Very good fit and finish. Hardest part was getting the small screw in that covers the factory quick connector. Only suggestion would be to add some polyfill for sound deadening.

The majority of my vehicles have been Ruby Red (or as close as I can get to it). This time however, I had my choice between the silver or the Oxford White. Both sitting on the lot right next to each other. We opted for Oxford White. I like it.

When the time comes, THOSE are what I want. I love the look of the RWL.

You can't put a price on a great dealership. I have been a "Ford Guy" for most of my life. My first job out of high school was at a local Ford dealership; new/used car prep, stereo installs, (they were much easier in the 80's) and some light electrical work. Although not the same dealership...

Sadly, I'm not surprised. A good dealership will at least offer to compensate you somehow even if only by throwing some points your way. Mine always offers me a loaner and I decline. Someday, I might really need one.
