Anybody know of a reasonable portable power version for plugging in an engine block heater? My car lives in a parking ramp that’s open to the outside. It’s same temp as outdoors. While it’s not often that cold in NJ, it does happen sometimes. I’d be willing to plug it in on cold nights if I had...
Oddly missing from my 2012 Ford - the trip clock will tell you time, miles traveled, gas used, and mpg. However, it does not tell you average travel speed. I have my kid punch it into a cell phone calculator after a few hours. I always like to know how fast we were going on average on long road...
I’m really close to the same but either silver or dark gray.
I’m holding out on whether to jump to Badlands and/or wait for the truly black roof.
I expect to be able to get Z plan pricing because of close family that worked for Ford. And my reservation was so late that I’m “late availability...
What we call Canadian Bacon in the USA isn’t even close to the real thing. Properly called “pea meal bacon,” this is an Ontario specialty. What you get in Canada is far superior to the ham-like product in the USA.
I don’t like the fancy cartoons. This is a vehicle, intended to be driven by a human at the wheel. Distractions have no justification. The ideal dashboard should give you all the info you need, none that you don’t, and do it with minim distraction from the act of driving.
likewise, I really...
Given my choice I would totally BaseSquatch this thing except to the extent I need charging ports and a decent radio. Get the radio aftermarket. Probably do aftermarket GPS and off-road GPS. Rag top except in snow season. Sell the city apartment, move to the hills and be willing to take a pay...
You must be single or have more than one vehicle. I’m a father of two and husband of one. This will be our only vehicle, replacing the one we will be trading in. We have one parking spot in an 8-story urban parking ramp. A second spot would cost as much as the Bronco itself.
Thus - get the...
So like everybody I’ve been playing with Build & Price nonstop.
I think I found the sweet spot for capabilities vs. pricing. It’s a Black Diamond, non-Squatch, 2.7L engine with the 10 speed automatic. Go with the advanced 4WD system.
the only shortcomings vs the Badlands are front locker...
this sounds great! I’ve truly disliked for years the radio in my 2012 Edge SEL. It’s just not good. Ok but not good.
But no way in hell that I want to bump up almost $10K from a BlacK Diamond non-Squatch mid - to Lux Badlands. That’s a lot of money for me. I would like the front locker and...
I have never upgraded a car’s features like so many people talk about here.
I have a mid level Edge 2012, the SEL, and have been underwhelmed with the sound from the radio since the day I got it.
what’s involved in making such an upgrade? I’ve seen people say that the touchscreen will be...
There are finger prints all over the touch screen, crumbs and debris below it and in the cargo area. Dirt and stuff on the front.
This is definitely not a new build.
I live just across the river from Manhattan. I’m getting my Bronco so that I can drive it as often as possible, as far as possible, in the opposite direction. :-)
My happily wedded wife would be surprised if I share our future Bronco with her. Sharing it with strangers is a hell no.
I am however willing to show it with all the stowaways I can find on a camping trip. Spiders, chipmunks, squirrels, raccoons, bobcats, mountain lions, wildebeest, rhinos and...
Anybody know when the big media outlets will be getting their real world models of the Bronco to review? Car & Driver, Motor Trend, Wall Street Journal, etc? I’ve seen some pre-production first takes, but not yet any genuine reviews.
