This is what I’ve been saying since I picked up my base w/ mod bumper at from the dealership. Ford was doing this to get broncos out the door mostly built correctly, avoid Dirt Mountain, and just tied a string around their finger to make it right at a later date. when people clued in and...

No. I’m more thinking about the size of the recent mid-year and model year price hikes. And the build quality of some aspects of the bronco (and other recent Fords I’ve owned or been familiar with) is an issue. In the 2010s, Ford’s quality felt far superior to the other US Autos. But that feels...

Thankful I snuck my 2 door base non-Sas order into MY ‘21 just before the MY ‘22 changeover. Ended up with an early-‘23 at the sub-$30k base price (before adding 10 speed AT, Aux switches, Mod bumper). Honestly, that seems like a fair price for what you get, here. Since taking delivery, I’ve...

Another pic after getting back. Moderate mud on these things looks like the Build & Price renderings.

Got home and didn’t wash it after a weekend of trails in northern Michigan. Didn’t find much mud but the dust was fierce. More pics from those travels here: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/the-2023-shadow-black-base-experience.63687/post-2002296

Picked the Bronco up Friday afternoon. It was in the shop for a few tweaks to repairs that were made after the crash in February (body panel alignment, interior trim fitment, etc.). It looks MUCH BETTER now. Was great timing to get it back, as I drove to Cheboygan, MI to visit a couple friends...

I’ll take the first two, thanks.

If your experience is anything like mine was, the body parts/work will go quickly. Getting replacement airbags and having a service department understand how to deal with all the sensors and computer stuff - will be more of a challenge and take a while. This was $14K and 3.5 months of waiting:

I got my ‘23 Bronco for around $32k with an incredibly confusing mix of price protection and rebates. Optioned a few things but it’s mostly just a base two-door non-Sasquatch. I love this thing. I really do. But, I can’t imagine paying more than $40,000 for it. Probably mostly because I didn’t...

On the topic of rust (wheels, see above), I’ll throw this out there…. Anybody noticing this rust staining around the Bronco bolts on the top side of the HD Modular bumper? I’m thinking it’s the bolt head or threads rusting and staining the bumper, but not sure. This is one of the things the...

No. They didn’t calibrate my speedometer. I don’t think I’ve seen (on this forum or elsewhere) an instance where a dealership calibrated the speedometer. Some 6G owners have done so themselves with Forscan, but I’m not looking to get into all that if I can avoid it. The drivetrain (auto trans)...

Yes, the wheels are powder coated BUT there is an issue - apparently the media used in the coating process can be tricky to apply into the seams of these steel wheels. As a result, I’ve noticed some mild surface rust happening in the wheel seams on each of the wheels. Here’s a photo showing...

Man, this 👆 is exactly what I’ve said to myself about 10 times. I’ve read the instructions, watched the YouTube videos, dropped umpteen f-bombs…you name it…nothing seems to work. Maybe if everyone on here lights a prayer candle for me…?

@BeerForMyHorses - I like how this thread has basically just become a public DM for the two of us. 😂 Appreciate your engagement and humoring my long-windedness.

At nearly 6k and they’re no louder than the day I bought them. No balance issues or vibration. I run them at 35-36psi and theyre pretty firm. I have to imagine a set of SL or C load tires would be much smoother, especially on washboard gravel roads and slow speed over concrete seams and...

Yep, the zip tie solution is totally fine if you use the hitch only occasionally like I do.

Yeah, we still have a booster seat but I'm thankful I don't have to reach into the back seat and deal with strapping in the kiddos. Did that in our '97 Wrangler for three years and I think I have a permanent goose egg on my head from bumping the roll bar. Thanks for catching the hitch! Forgot...

Family of four here. Easily packed the essentials in our 2 door for a week “up north,” with non-essentials on our cargo trailer. Details in my thread here. Also some info on how our base non-Sas did on the Silver Lake Sand Dunes.

Over the Fourth of July week, we headed to the Lake Michigan shoreline. We were staying at a lake house just south of Manistee and frequented the beach at the bottom of the dune there daily, but we also made the time to explore up and down the coast from Silver Lake to Glen Arbor. Here are some...

Spent a recent weekend at Holly Oaks ORV Park in Holly, MI. Ended up being a Michigan Bronco Club event the same day so we had a guided tour of the moderate difficulty trails throughout the park. We had a blast and our base non-Sas Bronco (should we name this thing?) really surprised me. We...
