@Rydfree I haven’t been at highway speeds yet. Others reported no change in mpg or wind noise. I’ll post if I notice anything.

@Mudlight there is a pad that adheres to the underside of all the mounting brackets keep them from scratching the top (the inside bracket bit you can see in the pic also has a pad against the top). The rear one fits a little better because of the indent in the top. Nevertheless, the front one...

I ordered the Trailrax half rack for my 2 dr Big Bend 2.3 auto non-sas on Tuesday. It arrived Wednesday (very fast) and I put it on this morning. Took about three hours, but I was going slow. The instructions could use a few tweaks like telling you they aren’t in the box but on their website...

I have a 2.3 auto 2Dr nonSAS Big Bend. Filled up yesterday with premium (91). Dash said I got 28.5 mpg for the tank. Pump and math said 29 mpg. I’m in the country. Don’t drive over 65 much, but that tank also included about 20 miles of gravel road. Staying off the gas and the brake and the mpg...

Letting this go for my Bronco 2dr BB. 2014 Boxster S. Manual trans. 14k miles. Still CPO for a couple weeks. It’s very sweet and unbelievable to drive but doesn’t work well as a second car in mountains winters. On consignment at a local dealer.

@WheresMyBronco I’m assuming you mean photos of the top and not my mangled hand. It’s the inside edge underneath that’s sharp.

I took delivery of my 2023 Big Bend a couple weeks ago (bought off the lot for sticker BTW) and the first time I took off the front top MIC panels I cut my hand on the an edge when it slipped a little bit. The edge is very sharp and has some of the rough coating on it making it like a serrated...

Sold my 1991 Porsche 911 C4 Targa in May. Swapping out one four wheel drive for another

I too do not like the OBX factory wheels. I liked the rest of the OBX trim enough to order it anyway. My first thought on the wheels is to take some black electrical tape and cover up the shiny bits to see how the stock wheels look all black. If I like it, I might just paint the shiny bits black.

Same question on another thread. My answer: Manual vs Auto vs 2.3 vs 2.7: My original BD build had a manual. Bronco is for fun and will almost never be driven in an urban area. That was before I found out the you couldn’t get the 2.7 with a manual so 2.3 or 2.7? My answer: torque. My other...

AJ, happy to be of service, I wound up under $50k too. I was enough under to add the modular bumper and brush bar just because l like the look. Still just under $50k.

I had (still have) similar issues on my OBX, 2.7 auto, A51, no SAS, roast/onyx leather order. My thoughts.... Color: I wanted a non-metallic color which cuts it down a bit. I liked A51 best as the cactus gray looks too much like dirty white. Pictures showed A51 as very light blue, but I saw...

Thanks for the pics! I ordered an OBX with no Sasquatch and this is the first time I’ve seen pics that way. Most of what I see always has Sasquatch. I ordered OBX in spite of the wheels. I think they are the worst in the whole lineup. How did you feel about them? I’m thinking about having...

My wife also approved A51 color. Aways looks blue in photos though. Saw it in person for the first time on a Bronco Sport today. Looked nice, but photos I took still looked blue. Strange. The first photo is the most true to color but still looks a little bluer than it is. A51 still a keeper.

Could you add a graph of orders per million or hundred thousand of population? It might tell a totally different tale about how popular the Bronco is by state. Not surprising the CA and TX have the most orders. They are the most populated states. FL is third.

My other plan was to find a BD buyer that would swap his optional 17” wheels for my OB wheels. The Ford website says those optional BD wheels are available on any Bronco trim but the dealer says can’t be done when ordering. In the Build go to OB model build and click on the “details” button...

I see an Outer Banks in your photo. I ordered the same but in A51 color despite not being in love with the wheels. Other trims have all black wheels so thinking OB might look good all black too. For starters I might just paint the shiny bits gloss black on the wheels.
