IDK why people are agreeing with the outback poster. They kept the friggin' Outback! The moral of that story would more accurately be "get both". Re: the lightning, it's pretty much the only other car I would consider other than the Bronco. Especially with price-pro. Granted I have solar panels...

Any modern car is going to be perfectly safe for a new driver. My first car only had 2 airbags, crank windows, and no anti-lock brakes. I didn't even wreck it, the engine blew up. If you are willing to learn, I think the manual transmission Bronco would be great. When you have to match the...

Huge lift, 37” tires, and looks like they were in the process of winching it sideways. I wonder how much of a pain it is to replace the steering rack when someone inevitably reinforces the tie rods to the point they are no longer the weak link.

I could have sworn someone posted a link to a night-latch earlier in this thread. Just wanted to thank them for that idea, just installed one on my garage side door today. I also ordered some latches for the garage door itself. While I was looking at the door itself, I noticed the previous...

Offer them for 24 month lease only like GM did with the EV1's. I think maybe even the electric Rangers back in the day were like this? Can't flip what you don't own. Currently have a Carvana offer sitting in my inbox for $11k over MSRP. Not going to cash in, but boy is it tempting. The name...

Joe at Village Ford in Dearborn has been phenomenal to work with. I’ve ordered a Focus RS, a Bronco and have a Mach E reservation going through right now.

Just ran my 2dr BD with 6500 miles, offered me 10% over MSRP. And I just checked on my Mach E reservation; supposed to be built in July. Tempting for sure, especially with gas @ $5+. Not to mention the $7500 tax credit on the mach E.

Actually the GM recall was such a big deal because if the ignition switched to off the airbags would not deploy. I mean evidently NHTSA thought there were enough engines blowing up to open an investigation. I appreciate people raising hell about it because Ford was actively ignoring it. People...

I'll throw in another vote for 4x4TruckLEDS and their diode dynamics kit. Excellent customer service! I went with their 3 light kit and the quality is excellent. Plus the harness runs right up to the aux switch splices.

Wasn't there a dual top option at launch? And wasn't it only like $2000? Or am I mis-remembering?

@etmccaus86 I bought mine direct from Xpel when getting the door and rocker panel kit. FWIW I have a hardtop so just put my stickers on the rear glass, but if I had a softop I would be putting it on top of PPF on the tailgate. @VelocityBronco I planned on doing the same thing to mine, but the...

Get some xpel or other PPF, put it on the tailgate, then put the stickers on top of that.

Thank goodness, maybe now people will stop hoarding extra calls. I really wish they would change the cancellation period to 90 days.

This used to happen even pre-Rona too, just not at this scale. I wasn’t involved first hand but I think a specific type of chip was discontinued in some ABS modules. To continue to supply service parts they were yanking them out of junkyards.

Ouch. I’d probably just take the bronco and use the remaining $60k on gas. Lol. edit: and I say this as someone with PV panels on my house.

I would definitely be interested as well. I did the Kalkaska route, which is basically the next trail to the north. There was a Colorado ZR2 and a 4dr Wrangler with me and they had no issues with any part of the trail. There were a couple sections that were pretty narrow, but anything marked...

I do find it funny all the people advocating "drill baby drill" on a forum for a vehicle ostensibly aimed at outdoor enthusiasts. Or that the politicians are controlling the oil companies and not the other way around.

Honestly I would love a replaceable / upgradeable infotainment module. I feel like the cost to replace a dying Sync module is going to be pretty high outside warranty. Or when service parts are no longer available and you have to go to a junkyard pick-and-pull and hope you grabbed a module with...

I'm just a hobby programmer, but Apple's SDK seems much better, plus it's Obj-C / Swift. Android's java SDK just feels kinda hacked together to me, and now they are too far along to change anything. Kotlin is pretty neat though. Hopefully I can decline those updates. I'm sure the legacy HW...

I'm on the opposite side. My experiences with google make me glad Sync 4 is based on QNX. My Pixel 4 started having issues with bluetooth and face unlock, and Google loves to make neat products only to cancel them a few years later. I'm happy to say I've switched to apple and the phone seems...
