  1. How many windshields (including replacements) have you gone through?

    About 6200 miles and still OK. Mostly highway driving. I try to stay away from trucks (leave a lane between Bronco and truck), and don't tailgate. I figure you either got to be right on someones butt, or way back. I choose way back. I will admit though... in my old Toyota pickup I've gotten...
  2. Road noise?

    My 2022 Dr (Base) is more quiet than my wife's 2016 Forester (by a lot). I do get that small wind-sound @ 70 MPH, but overall I'm quite happy with the sound deadening. I've got OBX tires/wheels on mine... and I don't get any tire noise to worry about. Not sure what a SAS 2Dr sounds like.
  3. Ford claims flat towing our 4 mo. old Bronco destroyed the transmission (not covering under warranty)

    You know... with all the complexity and all the complaints... I would never consider flat-towing my auto bronco. I'd go to CL and buy one of the many trailers and just get all 4 wheels off the ground. You can find a decent used one for < 4K. Or... find an old Jeep with a standard transmission...
  4. Ford QC gone down hill...

    Glad I bought a base 2Dr HT with the V6/auto. I've read about a lot of problems and QC issues, and have come to conclude that the higher-trim you go up the more problems you have... or at least it seems so (in my head). I have had zero problems. Had 2 Jeep Wrangler 2Drs before the Bronco. I...
  5. MPG! Not complaining.

    I get 22 all the time with my 2Dr base with OBX tires on it... after I do the tire-size re-calculations. Of course that's with the 3.73 gearing. And that's on a 100 mile round-trip that goes up about 1500 feet... and then down the same. AND... using crummy California gas!
  6. What is Ford's answer to the new Jeep Pink Color?

    Makes me wonder which person (there can't be more than one) would buy such a god-awful color Jeep. Jeep probably hired the (now free to hire) marketing exec from Budweiser!
  7. 1973 Bronco window sticker

    One thing you can be assured of... little plastic and the fenders and hood were probably twice as thick. And... hardly any electronics to worry about. But then again... out here in Northern California where the government likes to tax gas engines (i.e. 6-7 summer gas)... that 10 MPG would be a...
  8. Auto-High-Beams are Enough for “Reasonable Suspicion”

    As New Your is showing us... you can get pulled over for the wrong colored hair. The real reason you probably got pulled over was... (1) The cop was bored. (2) He liked your Bronco.
  9. Recent Resale Value

    Then there is this thing called "the economy" and "interest rates". Lots of folks can't take that 20% hit inflation provided in the last few years, and the higher-than-usual financing costs now. Fewer buyers in the mix... means more cars on the lots, and lower price for a new car. Lower...
  10. Getting nervous about 2.7 Engine failures issues

    If you're all worried go down to your dealer and get an extended warranty. I've got a 2.7/auto... and love it! I also did get an extended warranty just because. Sure you're not one of the Toyota trolls? You don't actually sound like you own a Bronco.
  11. Debating on 2.3 vs 2.7 engine?

    I ordered a 2 Dr 2.7, but took a Ranger out with a 2.3 and tried to change my order because the Ranger with 4 cyl/auto was plenty good enough. I also think the 2.3 under-the-hood looks better (not so cluttered and probably easier to work on), and there is one less turbo to break down. However...
  12. MPG-what am I doing wrong?

    I can get 22 pretty much all the time on the highway. 2Dr/V6/Auto/3.73 Base with OBX tires/rims on it. That's after I do the "bigger tire" calculation from the original 16s. That's at between 65-70. I can eek out 24 if I go 60-65. Questions: 1. What is your air pressure in the tires? 2...
  13. MPG-what am I doing wrong?

    Well, I"ve got a 2022 Base 2Dr with OBX tires -- V6 / auto / 3.73. I get a computed 22-24 on the highway at about 70. Did you use Forscan to change your odometer for the tires (32.7 vs 32.1) or did this computation (32.7/32.1* MPG(15.8)) to give real MPG (16). Still... I would think you'd...
  14. What on earth is an E-commerce fee?

    It is simply ADM, and in my estimation (after looking it up)... it only applies to online orders. I would therefore say... "thanks but no thanks", go to a different dealer (or maybe the same one after you have officially killed this "eCommerce" bull, and order it in-person. However, I would...
  15. Battery Issues

    If I don't run mine much for a week I'll put a smart-charger on it until I get the battery 100% charged. When I close the hood after the charge... it always makes a click or two.... always!!! I assume that is just R2D2 telling me -- "thanks for the meal -- I'm full"
  16. how does 2-door Bronco handle high winds?

    I drive a 2Dr Base with OBX tires/rims (V6/auto). I drive in Northern CA. There is a 10 mile stretch between Davis and Sac where you are basically on a bridge for a 10 mile stretch (called the CauseWay -- don't ask me why). It is an open stretch where southern exposure is at least 1 mile...
  17. Cracked on the lot.

    Thanks for the pictures. This will definitely cause me to do inspections from time-to-time (and what to look for). In see you are in AZ from your postings. Do you think the extreme heat might have anything to do with it? What temps have you experienced with your Bronco? Any correlations to...
  18. Bronco Automatic Horn Honk

    Well, it was about a 50 mile drive. I guess I'll do as suggested (take picture) if the problem happens again and is registered by the Ford App. Maybe I'll play around a little later... trying to manually lift top while it is sitting (on and off). Such fun!
  19. Cracked on the lot.

    Well -- I think you're making a couple of assumptions about the forum and what the group-think is... but everybody is entitled to their own opinion.
  20. Bronco Automatic Horn Honk

    Well, so far it is still a mystery. I happened Saturday, and no message on the Ford App (although like you said it may have been deleted).
