Yep, so annoying. Ford just did the same for the mid-cycle refresh of the Maverick.
They cost cut by removing physical buttons in favor of a touch screen, and then charge us more for the privilege.
Physical buttons are an important anti-distraction tool, because they allow a person to have...
Just thicker interior plastics. Three years in and im already feeling the door cards loosen and rattle slightly.
I want to keep this vehicle for a long period of time, so I expect some trim clip work in my future.
I plan to get the plastic trans pan with drain, and then the Asfir trans skid. It'll end up costing about the same as the Mishimoto pan and I feel like the coverage from the skid is better protection than a metal pan.
Worth noting the 2.3l engine has hydraulic brake boost, and the 2.7l has an electronic brake boost. Could explain a difference in sound if the vehicles you were comparing had different engines.
Yeah they should have nut runners (power wrench) that track both bolt torque and amount of thread rotations to allow the vehicle to continue down the production line.
A person on the line would have had to manually bypass this for the vehicle to travel down the line, from my understanding.
Does it automatically come back up after a period of time if left unlocked? I typically leave my bronco unlocked but I wouldn't want water intrusion over time.
So not necessarily related but I figured I would put this out here, on the 2024 (and maybe prior) F150s the cowl cover is a dual molded plastic and rubber part.
The very flexible rubber could account for the expansion of the plastic. See the mold line where it switches from rubber to plastic...
21 with 48k miles. Started life as a Ford employee lease vehicle so it got driven to save our owned cars mileage. When we bought it it had 42. It didn't see much off-road usage while it was still under lease.
Fair enough! I have a non sas so I'm sure I would crash better in mine than a similar wrangler. The tire size I went for (285/75r17) was chosen for the ability to keep the crash bars installed with no rubbing.
Gotcha. I am curious how the Sasquatch crashes for that reason, I've seen some people say that the additional tire size cushions the impact but I am very skeptical of that since it's spinning mass.
The "crash test" that you may be thinking of was a clip from a video game called Beam.NG drive, which is a realistic crash simulator. The Bronco is a vehicle modded into the game without the work put in to make it crash accurately to real life. I have seen this video posted as about on YouTube...
