I've had KO2s on my 22 Badlands since new. They have been great in rain and snow and have lasted 45K miles and will be replaced this fall with KO3s. Tires rotated every 5K miles when I have an oil change done.
They have balanced well, worn evenly, and have not spit rocks onto my doors.
Sorry...
100% on these comments. 4 door badlands with high package. The manual is great as is the clutch. I have only driven manuals my entire life and this one is totally fine compared to the ones in my Acura Integra and BMW 330i. The hill assist is a nice feature if you haven’t driven a stick a lot on...
I was out of factory warranty but I purchased the extended warranty from Granger. My local Ford dealership (where I also bought my Bronco) said it was covered under the Granger extended warranty. Zero dollars. (I bought the zero deductible extended warranty)
Answering this after only reading through page 2. As someone whose only prior offroad vehicle was a 1998 Ford Explorer (when they actually had 4WD high and low, and not AWD) I strongly recommend going to the Bronco Offrodeo. It is free for new vehicle owners.
For me it was a great way to learn...
That is a pretty slick setup. If it was out 2 years ago (or had found it 2 years ago). I could have saved a lot of money, but then I would be looking for a way to mount my hunting rifle... and still wouldn't have overhead storage for all my recovery gear.
But seriously, it is a nice setup for...
I have "window dressing" things I have added, just for personalization, but I don't consider those things "upgrades"
I added both of these as well as side steps.
But the upgrade I like the most is the Mountains2Metal flip down attic shelf. Got a lot of stuff off the rear floor of my Bronco...
You are probably an outlier when it comes to cross shopping a Wrangler with an R2. I believe the target cross shopper for the R2 is someone with a 4Runner, Subaru Outback, or Jeep Grand Cherokee and maybe Ford Explorer/Expedition. Mall crawler first and dirt road adventures second. Most folks...
I use State Farm and it was because of this forum that I sought out a $0 deductible for my 22 Bronco. I had my windshield replaced a while back with OEM glass from Safelite.
The difference in the cost of my policy is $20 every 6 months. Glad I am not paying $700-1000 for a replacement.
I've been a little irritated by all the recalls, but nothing has been catastrophic. Worse so far was a weird glitch with the GOAT selector, going into 4H without any input from me and would not change 4WD modes without shutting off the engine. That was a little disturbing. They "fixed" it under...
So it took it to the dealership and turns out there was an open TSB 23-2182 for 2021-2022 Broncos. It is a combination of low battery and an issue with the AWD module.
So per their diagnostics, it wasn't the battery because it is still at a 75% state of charge and they don't replace the battery...
I had heard of lots of really odd symptoms caused by a dying battery. I am still on my original battery and it is four years and three months old
It still shows 14.5 V in the dashboard, but it may not have as many amps as it should
