Take it back to them and inform them that this is not acceptable, and is not in the same condition as a new vehicle since it was painted before it was badged, and now their shoddy work is exposed, and that if they do not professionally correct this paint issue they caused you’ll get an attorney...
If the dealer repainted it there should have been a discount for it having been previously damaged, and they should have told you about repairing it. It should be similar to when you buy a house, the previous owner has a responsibility to provide disclosure of a previously known issue. I’d say...
Don’t ever let an AGM battery get drained, they won’t come back like a lead-acid battery. I just replaced my battery with a Duralast Platnum Elite AGM. This one has a 5 year warranty, the longest warranty I could find - most have a 3 yr. I started getting faults pop up on my dash, which is...
Their installers are also fantastic, great people. While at Super Celebration East, two years ago, my wife found an issue with my Bronco after I had my Bronco wrapped with PPF… she pulled the driver’s door handle off! We discovered the handle set screw was no longer functioning. I first went...
I went with Putco. You can get vinyl overlays to make them look back-lit. They are more expensive, but don’t have a reputation for short lifespan. You can make them orange or white depending on which wires you connect.
My wife’s Rivian came with Pirelli Scorpion AT tires. They lasted 24000 miles and were loud. We switched to the Michelin LTX MS2, and they are leaps and bounds better than the Scorpions.
I’d be irate. Luckily I opted for the soft top in 2021 after they told me I’d have to wait several more months for a hard top. My order was for dual tops, but they wouldn’t let my order go through until I switched to soft top only. See if they will just give you a soft top- they aren’t any...
My 21 has been great. A few window resets but nothing big. My service center botched an oil change, cracked a drain plug, but I took it back to them and they did a re-do on my full synthetic oil change and gave me a voucher for another free works syn oil change.
The B&O system (2021). It’s not worth the price, particularly considering the cost to have a really good system is less on the base package than the combined price of the B&O plus the upgrades.
The aftermarket replacement dome lights are much better than the OEM. Just pop out the dome light housing with trim tools. There’s a good YouTube video on the removal.
Not a comment, but on November 20, 2021, when I picked up my cactus gray badlands Sasquatch and came to a stoplight. I n my rear view mirror I saw the woman behind me, in a Bronco Sport, taking photos of my new ride. I waved in the mirror, and she waved back - all arms - like she was waving to...
The last photo shows how much the matte ppf changes the color. After the ppf the paint doesn’t have the subtle green/blue color shifts with reflections of the surroundings (trees, or blue sky). I’d totally do it again.
Best thing with the “boring paint colors” is the option to add any color vinyl graphics or exterior mods to make yours stand out. I was hopeful when Ford announced the “cyber orange” option, but when they finally showed the available colors on paint jerry cans for the 2021 models the only one I...
