The rocker stripe looks good, but did you have an issue with it? Looks like one side of vehicle has the stripe shorter, only applied to the door.

How did those tires affect your power/mpg?
The 35s took some power and mpg, but I never recalibrated my speedometer so I do not know how accurate the MPG really was. It was 16 before and 14 after. I am mostly city driving here.
I did find turbo lag to be more noticeable from a start.

Hey Chomp, not sure if you still hang out on these forums but I was curious if you are satisfied with your trade for the GX?

I have been wanting a Bronco since they were announced however I have been hesitant (was waiting on white roofs, but still can't get unless Heritage) to order. Ended up selling my '16 F150 because I got a great offer on it and needed a vehicle quick. I ended up with a '23 GX. While the GX is nice, it doesn't excite me. I still WANT a Bronco. Would love to convince the wife to use the GX and I order a Bronco for myself but that is a tall order.

Would love to hear your comparisons between the two vehicles.

well they are two very different vehicles. Heh. Main reason I went back was comfort. The GX is much more quiet on the road. The sound system is also way better. and there is virtually no wind noise (biggest gripe)
I enjoy the fit and finish of the GX much more than the bronco and it’s easy to work on.
I do miss the off-road capabilities of bronco and availability of aftermarket goodies.

I suggest renting a bronco

You didn't waste much time modding the GX. Nice bumpers.
Haha not at all! We are very happy with the GX over the bronco. The GX is a better daily/road tripper
