I did have similar 2.3 vs 2.7 concerns, but I didn't notice much difference between them in my Bronco test drives. Maybe it was because I drove my manual gearbox "speed vehicle" (pictured below" to those test drives.

I am not a "4 door hater" and even owned a few myself, but they all had a manual gearbox. I can say that every manual gearbox I have owned never had to "learn how to shift". Maybe that's what made me -- as my wife describes me, a "manual car snob".

Okay, good luck on your trade.

@Spidey White fabric tops do not exist. Haartz is the major fabric supplier to the automotive industry, and they do make an off-white with tan backing fabric material (Oyster White, 2904 HR OYT) that survives UV exposure (true white fabric breaks down). I have personally used this Haartz...

There is a Safety Recall (NHTSA 26V268) on model years 2024 to 2026 regarding the front seat pivot bolts not tightened securely. Maybe your 2022 has a similar issue. My VIN number was on the list. So the dealership will inspect my seats at the next oil change.

I did a road trip to Tennessee for my Off-Roadeo.

Awesome road trip, but honestly, you had me at "2 door MT". BTW, you should sign up for Ford's Bronco Off-Roadeo before your eligibility expires. It's well worth another road trip.

In your suggested situation, I can confirm Bronco MTs will not automatically set the parking brake. I have a sloped driveway and this morning, I tested this. Then I remembered I already knew this was true from one of my first off-roading days. I needed to get out and inspect the trail, but I...

Yes, unlike my sports car and last 9 cars and trucks, 6G Broncos required learning a new and very odd muscle memory of reaching over the left knee, and underneath the light switch. It's so much easier when the same hand for pushing the stick can find the switch at the center console -- or even...

Nice photos. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you got to enjoy the show.

Honestly, you're already in great shape for off road. My Bronco is a stock Heritage with the MT and I've had no problems going off road. For the very few times I had large rocks or tree stumps in the mid-path, I just altered my line enough to get by. Technique is just as good as money spent...

My order sheet listed the trailer hitch. I asked they not install the front plate bracket. When I picked it up, they installed it anyways but claimed that they don't drill holes. After removing the bracket the next morning, I had holes. Like you, I have zero satisfaction with my local...

I guess I could say I "lost" my wife. She refuses to get in the Bronco when I take the doors off. Otherwise, I keep my left foot inside the Bronco to shift gears and my hat has a strap. So I haven't really lost anything. ...yet.

I forgot that I joined this group when I ordered my Bronco. I haven't look at it since, but I guess I'm still here.

These are classic "dad jokes" that our kids simply would not understand, but all us "dads" are laughing out loud. And yes, moving to "4 on the floor" from "3 on the tree" was so much better because I also went from a straight 6 to a V8.

On my 1969 Cougar convertible, I needed to adjust these every 2k miles, and I typically replaced them after 4k miles. Engine idle was always noticeably smoother after adjustment/replacement.

In your original post, it seemed like you described water when you first opened ("raised") the glass. Now that I watched your Amazon link, I understand you get water when you leave the window open in the rain -- a different problem from what I first understood.

Nope. I've had the hatch open several times. If I remove the hatch while the Bronco is still wet from rain, I'll get a few drops from the gasket's groove -- but that's not a leak!

I have not had a problem with water pouring into the cargo area, but my gaskets are still in "like new" condition.

No issues at all after 18 months and 26.5k miles with some off road tree branch brush-offs and a few hard bounces on unexpected dips.
