I have a 2026 Badlands and it stops waaasay better than the '71 Valiant I had when I was 16, lol. The brakes on that thing were so worn (along with the entire front end) and I was living paycheck to paycheck with no money to spare for repairs. Many a times, shifting to neutral to assist in...

This is worse: I'm in BC and the provincial insurance company (ICBC) lists my Badlands as a station wagon on the registration!

A 12 V supply for whatever he wanted to power at the back of the truck such as an air compressor, camp light, fridge, whatever.

You are indeed correct, Lou. One would hook the output of solar panels to the bus bars and the small blue box will make sure the panels' output doesn't fry the onboard battery on a sunny day. It also stops reverse flow out of the battery when the potential is the other way (i.e. cloudy days and...

Unfortunately not. I live & work in one of the most expensive housing markets in Canada. The average cost for a single detached house here is $1.2M. And that wouldn't be waterfront like my condo.

For Bronco owners who, like myself, live in an apartment/condo, the process of removing and, more specifically, storing the roof presents special challenges. Aside from not having the luxury of a garage (and hence some extra storage space), my strata (or HOA for American readers) is particularly...

April Wine?! Tell me your Canadian, without telling me your Canadian, lol. From the same era but opposite ends of the country, throw on some Prism, specifically Armageddon and see if you can get the oil change done between the opening sounds of the jets scrambling and the closing notes. 😆 If you...

I have a '26 Badlands with a painted roof and even when TrailRax comes up with the appropriate shallow bracket, I'm still going to pass. I would rather see the bumper and frame bear cargo load rather than my fancy painted roof so I would prefer an exoskeleton rack solution like you see on many...

Thanks for that insight because I just took delivery of a four door Badlands and was a bit disappointed to see that the roof underside is white not black.

When I saw this F-250 recently, I couldn't help but snap & share a couple pics.

As far as I'm concerned, dodging logging trucks is a piece of cake compared to dodging bears. And given that you've lived on the Island, you would know we have a high concentration of cougars. Worst in North America, I believe. I've only ever seen one and fortunately it was walking away from me...

I didn't hit Port Hardy on this trip principally because it is the far north end of the Island and I live in the south but I also have a love-hate relationship with that place. Let me explain. The love of course comes from the fact that Port Hardy is the gateway to San Josef Bay, one of the...

Ha yes, I've owned enough of the "good-for-resale" tones in my life. It was either VB or EG and by the time I was able to buy, Ford had made up my mind on that, lol. Some days, I'm green with envy, but I'll survive. 😆

I picked up my Badlands yesterday at an out-of-town dealer so I'm moseying home down Vancouver Island, camping as I go. I prefer spots on water and last night didn't disappoint with a conventional campground spot overlooking some rapids. Whether it's ocean waves lapping the shore or, in this...

The Badlands has arrived! 😀 About two-and-a-half months from order to arriving at dealer. I pick it up next week.

I did a lap of CO three summers back in a Bronco but it was rented so nothing adverse for me. To that point though, there is a lot more to that incredibly beautiful state than wheeling. So many amazing mountain towns, Telluride being among them - and the free gondola there is epic. And for some...

That's bang on. I emailed my dealer and he said my Bronco is now in a railyard in Vancouver and waiting for a transport truck to bring it to the Island. He couldn't give me a date on when that would happen (!) and although he didnt come out and say it (and I didn't press the issue), his...

Ha ha, that's a great story so thanks for sharing it - snd the angst you felt. That would have been maddening.

And I'm on an island to boot! Thanks for your feedback.
