This review comparing Nokian winter, all-season and all-weather (the new Outpost nAT) tires is particularly interesting for those of us in the intermountain region: My take away: all-weather tires are getting surprisingly good, but if you live in Utah you probably still need dedicated winter...

Good tip, thank you. I actually started looking for these tires in late September, but could only find the studded version. My guess is the supply constraints are probably because Nokian hasn't yet been able to ramp up production after exiting Russia (where they previously manufactured a...

I've been trying to buy a set of studless Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 winter tires in 285/70R17, but it seems none of the warehouses the tire shops around here use have them in stock. Has anyone been able to find a source for these or know when they might be back in stock? Is there a different...

Did anyone figure this out? Trying to figure out how to turn it off myself.

I strongly agree. There are many things I like about the Bronco, but it is an objectively terrible road trip vehicle. Firstly, it is ridiculously loud at 65+ mph., which is where you spend most of the time on a road trip. A lot of people say “it’s not that bad”, and sure for short stretches...

I went with the Velocirax with the hitch extension. Works well for me. It’s not quite as convenient as a swing arm, but it keeps the rack closer to the car.

I had ExoShield installed on my Bronco’s windshield immediately after purchasing it. Less than 900 miles later, the windshield has a major crack in it. I didn’t even hear anything impact the windshield, so it seems it failed even under ordinary circumstances. Does anyone know if this...

Well, that’s embarrassing, I tried again and this time the carpet fit. Clearly, I need a beer. You’d think a $50k+ vehicle would have a little better thought out console organization than a cheap rental…

I found this in the center console when delivered, but it doesn’t seem to actually fit in the center console, so I’m at a loss what it’s for: There was also this tray: … which I assume is Ford’s attempt at a console organizer. Not a good attempt, mind you.

I'm debating between getting an Alta Rack or VelociRAX rack to use to carry 4 bikes. If you've used either on your Bronco: Does it clear the spare wheel without a swing arm or extension? If yes, can you open the rear door with the rack on? The Alta Rack looks to be particularly problematic in...

Looks like it’s these: https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-16450-BH4 That price cannot possibly be right though. Talk about sticker shock…

I’m looking for a hood decal exactly like this! Where did you get it?

I’m in for some Australian Roo Bar goodness for Christmas!

You have both, so I'm curious: which to do find yourself preferring - leather or MGV?

Is there a picture or video somewhere showing this? I could have sworn the ones I saw weren't adjustable that way, but it sounds like maybe I missed something non-obvious.

They are adjustable in height, yes. But that's not the problem -- the issue is they do not adjust fore-aft. I did try different heights, but that didn't resolve the issue.

I tested out the rear seat AC in 4 door at a dealer today, and I couldn't seem to get cold air out of the rear floor vents (under the passenger seats) consistently. The right side air vent came on at one point, but in a couple of minutes of fiddling with the controls couldn't figure out the...

I have Badlands on order specced with MGV, and today I finally got a chance to sit in a Bronco with MGV. I immediately noticed that the headrests are seriously problematic. And not adjustable. This will cause a literal pain in the neck after probably 10 minutes of driving. The dealer flipped the...

@Lakelife36 Excellent point about factoring GCWR too. GCWR for a 2.7L 4 door is 8,840 lbs, which might end up being a limiting factor on a heavier trim level (i.e. Badlands). Here's a PDF with the max tow rating and GCWR for Broncos...

The reason the same vehicle in other countries have a higher tow rating than in the US is because the US has different (and much safer) regulations for trailer weight distribution. In the US, it is required to have 10-15% of the trailer weight on the hitch. In Europe, their regulations are...
