One of the things I like most about my Bronco is the removable top. Just wouldnāt be the same vehicle w/o it (IMO). Do understand where youāre coming from though, (OP). Have had my tops off for most of the 6 mos. Iāve owned the Bronco. Have it back on now, due to incoming rain, but itās...
Not meaning to highjack this thread, but, have been wondering this very thing for awhile now. Switching from the 5w-30 to a 10w-40 or even 10w-50 full syn oil. Iād much rather give up a bit of fuel mileage to better protect my engine. Wondering just how much more protection youād get using a...
That and the OBX flares are narrower than SAS flares so tires look wider. My brother has a 2022 Wrangler 4e with 20ā wheels and 35ās and they look like 37ās until we park alongside each other and same diameter as my 35x17s.
What am I missing here, your attached DORA (above) includes the LUX pkg as entered into the order system by the dealer? Did dealer go back in and change the order after you reviewed/approved it? It would appear you had a legit claim against either Ford or the Dealer for messing up the order...
Nothing much I can add here that hasnāt already been said above. Iāve had my 2023 for about 6mos/7K miles and am very happy with it. I traded my 2018 Raptor in for the new Bronco and while it was an amazing truck for sure, Iām really enjoying the Bronco as a āSport/Adventureā vehicle...
Older thread, but wanted to add my ambient lighting (23 OBX/Lux) turns itself off quite frequently. I donāt use Apple nor Android car play and generally have headlights in auto mode. Donāt do a ton of night driving, but every time I notice them being off and have to go into settings and turn...
Donāt blame you for passing, sucks, however your timing is better now that Broncos are starting to appear in dealer inventories and X Plan is back, look around at other dealers, you might find another Badlands to take home. My LFD in Santa Maria has several new Broncos in inventory now.
Congrats on your new Bronco, nothing like picking up a new BRONCO and cruising home with a huge grin on your face, youāre gonna really like itš I picked up my new 23 about 6 mos. ago and still smile every time I drive it (or even walk by it parked in the garage)!!
I use mine on occasion for fun/spirited driving, and also when driving on busy freeways, reduces the factory āthrottle lagā when trying to accelerate briskly to keep your place in freeway trafficā¦absolutely despise the throttle lag in Normal modeā¦plus (IMO) the transmission shifts way too...
Interesting. Do you have a specific product youād recommend? I just reinstalled my hard top today and used my 303 rubber seal conditioner and was wondering if there is a better solution? thank you!
Agreed, I too have the Ford OEM rear cargo mat (with raised silver Bronco logo) and it has the marked outlines for the tie downs. Did cut them out and use tie-downs all the time with bungee net to hold down rear cargo items. Quality liner that fits the cargo area exactly. Only comment is they...
Looks much better, congrats! I went a similar route with my 23 OBX, SAS (Wildtrack) takeoffs, did the Bilstein 6112 2ā lift and went with Toyo OC A/T IIIs (35x11.5) and was able to keep the OBX flares. If you ever decide to upgrade your suspension, I highly recommend the 6112s, a reasonably...
Ditto, on the Raptor I changed oil (Mobil 1 full syn) after 1st change at 2k miles, then every 7K miles thereafter. On my Bronco, 1st change was at 1k miles and will be changing every 5K miles from here on out. Likely overkill, but not looking to run into the cam phaser issue. Still using...
Great point and I suspect youāre correct on Fordās thinking, however, Ford should provide a lifetime (or at least high mileage) warranty on cam phaser failure with these affected EB engines. Will never happen, but patently wrong for a customer to have to pay for these well known engineering...
Same question as OP, all I can come up with is it must be cheaper for Ford to just fix via warranty? For those that pass the 5yr/60K power train warranty youāre in for a healthy repair bill!
My 2018 Raptor started the cold start ācam phaser death rattleā at 4 1/2yrs w/39K miles. It quickly...
