Don't get me started on "service bulletins". I had an Escape whose board fried itself. They had a "service bulletin" out there saying hey this thing can fry itself. But not a recall. They knew about it and did NOTHING about it. Cost me $2,400 total. I wonder why I ever bought another Ford after...
I used to only consider vehicles built here in the 'States, until one year I got a Fusion Sport V6 AWD built at Hermisillo. That car was an unbreakable tank for 168,000 miles until some texting ass-clown plowed into it and totaled it. I knew it was going to get to 200,000 miles, no problem. But...
Stop! I'm on a work call and just laughed out loud! The lady thought I was being disrespectful.
But seriously... the driver of that rig had to have been squished like a bug!
I've not bought a Bronco, but I've purchased an Explorer and a Bullitt from Bob Popson at Schults in Wexford, and I give both the man and the dealership my highest recommendation. I've bought from the old Liberto in Irwin; from Kenny Ross; and from Smail, and Schults is head and shoulders better.
Build quality
Bullet-proof reliability
A fixed hardtop option
A naturally-aspirated engine option.
Adequate manufacturing capacity
Leadership that gives a 💩
With all respect to everyone else, yours may be my favorite Bronco of all.
And hey if you ever get a chance over there, go hear So Hyang sing. She might be the best singer in the world.
My favorite place in the world. I took the F-150 up there in early June. The week it was socked in with fog. Even with new Grabber ATX's aired down to 20, the sand was especially deep, soft and difficult that week.
