May not be a popular opinion for some... but here is an option to think about. Let it get built and shipped. Take delivery. Enjoy it for a couple days, put a few hundred miles on it. Put it on Bring a Trailer dot com and make $7k-10k. Bank the extra money and put in a new 2023 order when...
As long as you are in fresh water I wouldn't worry about it. I've been launching boats in fresh and salt water for many decades. Happy to dunk half the rear wheels in a fresh water boat launch. Wouldn't think about that in the salt water. Many rivers near the coast are salty enough to do...
Normal (for Ford) for the driveshafts and axles. I have surface rust on these same parts on my F150 and Mustang. It does not progress further once these initial steel parts are covered with surface rust. I wish they would do a better job of coating these parts with some sort of preventative...
I got my email order confirmation from Ford in under an hour after meeting with dealer. 2022 BB SAS order date of December 3, 2021. My sales guy went through the online public configurator with me. Printed it out. We walked up to the sales manager / administrative desk and another guy keyed...
Hello all,
If there is already a similar poll, let me know and I can delete this one. For current owners only, I think it would be cool to get a sense (ratio) of broncos in the wild related to quality / issues. Answer one of the three poll questions below. And if you've had an issue, it...
Makes sense. New car, new transmission clutches, etc. It may smooth out over time as it learns. There is also a body of thought which says that a quicker automatic clutch engagement is actually better for longevity than a soft engagement because the primary wear point for automatic trans is...
It will show up shortly after it is scheduled for production and has a VIN number assigned. I have an Order Confirmed email from December attached to my primary email address and nothing yet in the Ford portal under Reservations and Orders.
OP - Did you get the Order Confirmation email from...
Describe rough shifting. Is it an abrupt, jerky downshift (or upshift)? Is there any unusual noise? If it is just an abrupt / jerky shift, see if there is a difference between normal mode and sport mode. Sport mode is going to manage the transmission shift clutch engagements very differently...
Yikes, I can't imagine doing that to my personal vehicle unless either 1) I had "F*You" money and this was some kind of toy like a go-cart or old Honda Oddysey ATV or 2) Ford gives me a Bronco and tells me "take it out and try to break it". Neither is the case in my situation.
None of the 4 ford vehicles that I've had over the past 6 years have required you to reset the TPMS system. They are proximity located by the vehicle's computer and sensors, so the car will know which tire is which after rotation. As mentioned above, it usually takes a mile or so of driving...
Displacement wise, a 2.3L at sea level with about 15 pounds of boost is *roughly* equivalent to a NA 4.6L. And the 2.7L at sea level with about 15 pounds of boost is *roughly* equivalent to a 5.4L. This is speaking in terms of displacement / capacity to ingest air-fuel vs a NA engine.
I'm sure the info is out here somewhere, but if you are not a res holder (and presumably don't have a ResID), how do you use the Order Tracker URL? https://www.ford.com/buy/manage.html?reservationId=XXXXXXXX
Thanks in advance!
I hope the guy who owns the Cyber Orange Sasquatch in or near Oak Island, NC is on here. I saw him coming into town, top down, on Friday, December 17th. I was in my Mustang behind him on the back roads into Oak Island, NC. He turned at a point where I continued straight toward Southport. I...
My daily is a 2019 5.0 manual with about 42,000 miles and I love everything about it. Biggest issue with this car is that it is on its 3rd set of rubber, haha. The toughest decision will be if / how I can keep both. With 4 drivers in the house, limited driveway space, and a boat taking up the...
