The OHV ( Off Highway Vehicle) sticker is only required for ATV's/Side by Sides. Not required for any licensed highway vehicle. Your Bronco will be fine.
I suggest Ouray if you are only going to one spot. Various 4WD trails starting there will take you to Lake City, Silverton and Telluride. You can do loops or spend the night in those other communities. Lots of food, hotel and camping options. I live in Ridgway, 10 miles from Ouray. Food...
I would look at the "Instant Offer" amounts. They most closely reflect what you are likely to get on a trade. In Colorado, you get the sales tax offset as well if you trade to a dealer. You do not get it with a private party sale. Selling it yourself requires time and patience ( "Gee, I want it...
I live in the Ouray area. Even though it has been a dry winter, the trails are still snowed in. Salida, Buena Vista and Westcliffe are your best bets. You can also get to the Sand Dunes from Westcliffe.
I live in Colorado. I bought my F250 in Oregon, my Black Diamond SAS Bronco in Detroit, and my new Land Cruiser in Wyoming. I always negotiate everything in advance, and get a purchase agreement. It took me 30 minutes to wrap up everything at the dealer for both the F250 and the Bronco. The Land...
I live in the Ridgway/Ouray area. I will be away hunting in September. We had a wet August. Black Bear and Imogene were closed at various times due to mud slides. Be sure to get an update on trail conditions. Have fun.
The Instant Cash/Instant Trade is a better guage than KBB trade values. My '22 Black Diamond SAS with 19K miles showed about $44K on KBB trade. Instant Cash came in @ $37080. I was offered that and negotiated the trade ( for a new Land Cruiser) to $40K. With tax savings it equates to $42K. Look...
I got $42500 net trade value for my '22 Black Diamond SAS with 19K miles. Original MSRP was $51K. Carvana and KBB Instant Cash were all at $37K, so I was satisfied. Lot's of Broncos on EBAY without any bids.
I live locally, not far from the pass. We had a very wet June, which is good for hay and wildlife, but will slow down the opening. Every year we have a few nimrods who decide they can go around the barriers, and end up having to be rescued. That further slows the opening and leads to discussions...
My experience is with a Ram Longhorn half ton with factory air suspension. PRO: The ride is very good, and ability to adjust (4 levels) is nice. CON: Air suspensions fail in cold weather. It was normal on a cold morning to find the truck tilted like it had a flat tire. Even though it was under...
