So I was going to say 'whatever fits your budget.'
I've never had good luck with Bosch ones. RainX have treated me well across multiple vehicles. Given our conditions here it's a good idea to replace at least once a year, if not twice.
But I'm going to have to give the Motorcraft ones a try...
Sounds like onX can be used on the center screen from your phone now, which is a nice feature. And it's free for a year if you sign up with your FordPass credentials.
For most people, a phone holder isn't necessary since everything you should need is accessible through the center screen.

Some people want a rare vehicle. And want to know how rare theirs is.
Our Bronco isn't that rare - there was an identical one sitting on the same lot just a different color. In '24 I could find dozens of them within 100 miles.
My wife's expedition I could find a hundred of them within 100...
The thing is, it was a GORGEOUS color, and when the light hit it right you could really tell it was a VERY deep blue.
But it just amazed me how many people got angry that he corrected them...when the proper response is 'really? doesn't look like it but okay' over something that doesn't affect...
My FIL had an F250 in AMB.
He hated it.
Not because he didn't like the color - he actually liked it a lot.
But we nicknamed it 'The Fickle B!tch' because, as you point out, in rain or full sun, yeah, it looks a very deep blue. But in just about any other light it looks black, and so we joked...
Nibroc did a better job describing it - it really depends on the application, the layout/power of the vehicle, surface, etc. Straight-line on pavement or concrete, RWD shines...until the back tires slip, then having the extra power shunted to the front wheels picks up the slack. Long, sweeping...
^^^ That. That's weld spatter that wasn't cleaned up very well prior to assembly/paint. It's pretty common and isn't a structural issue, just a cosmetic one.
If you have 4A then you have the clutched AdvanceTrak or whatever they're calling it now, transfer case. What this means is that when you're putting power down, if the tires aren't spinning/slipping, it'll put most of the power to the rear tires. If the rears are slipping or spinning, it'll put...
My kid loves this screen, and I have only been able to get it to come up under a specific set of circumstances.
First, I have to be in the MyView with the pitch/roll screen active.
Then I have to be moving at a low rate of speed, I know it's under 15mph but might be under 10mph.
Then I have...
I would have highly considered a 4-door, because the 2-door is impossible for my family to go anywhere in, in any kind of comfort. The extra rear leg room for a kid that is 6' tall at the age of 14 would be wonderful.
BUT, on the flip side, it was bought for him as a 'first vehicle' when he is...
Yeah, the people who choose to remain ignorant are hilarious.
Modern fuel systems can handle the fuel - E85 won't degrade them. E85 CAN degrade older fuel systems that still have rubber lines.
The PCM is really the question - can the tune support E85 or not? The Bronco can't. If I recall, my...
I would definitely check the battery's health - best way is to pull it and take it to either a battery store or an auto parts store and have them bench test it.
My bet is that if it's the original battery, then it is 4 years old...you're reaching the expected lifespan of a battery for modern...
Yeah but I'll bet it was probably your first weld after setting it up there, and I'll bet you weren't satisfied with them until you fixed it.
This picture? That shouldn't have left the plant it was manufactured at. QC should have thrown that out.
Yeah gonna agree with a lot of the guys above. That's an absolutely terrible weld. I haven't welded in a few years but I NEVER let a weld like that go...I never MADE a weld like that, and I'm not an expert welder.
They SHOULD just replace the bumper...or if it's a modular, at least that...
I mean this feels like rage bait.
But to answer his question, even if I brake-torque the heck out of the 2.7 it barely chirps them out of the hole. It's quick off the line but that's not what it's built for.
If he wants a tire-smoking SUV, the Durango would be his best choice, in the SRT...
Okay so yes, you're still under the warranty. They can't really say anything about the pinstriping - that could have happened in your own back yard for all they know (I have done this a couple times on my property up north with other vehicles that were a LITTLE too big to go where I needed...
Did you buy the vehicle new or used? Are you still inside the 36k miles? When was the vehicle intially put in service? I see your info says a 2023, that could have been put in service as early as 2022, which puts you OUTSIDE the warranty window.
Did you document the issue with them when you...
Foam also will tend to hold on to moisture, so if you put your tools away wet from working in the rain or on a coolant system, it'll tend to accelerate the rust. Or if your garage happens to be in the great white north with no insulation or heat, you could end up with them frozen into your foam...
