My Bronco Died Today, Deep Into a Remote Trail [Fuel Pump Failure]

[Nobody]

I think I'd try at least rolling down hill to get it level, if not slightly uphill.

The fuel filter is a lifetime filter and is located inside the fuel tank. You replace anytime you replace the fuel filter.

"Lifetime"?
In the tank?
Well that scares the shit out of me.

Quality is Job 1 at Ford.

Sure.

Sorry to read the issue. It’s gonna be difficult to off road in the future (or even go far from home) when your not confident in your ride to get you home.

Don't worry it's covered under warranty.

This is why reliability is so important and doesn't matter whether it is an engine failure vs fuel system failure, he's going to have to recover it himself or have to pay for it to be recovered.

I hope that it's something simple.

I thought reliability was not important So confusing, so many said no worries, Ford's warranty will take care of the problem du jour.

Regardless, it sucks breaking down on the trail, hope the OP gets it sorted. This is why the Garmin InReach is a mandatory Bronco accessory when going solo.

Or just leave it and report it stolen

Yeah, and then it can be like the Tree of Shame on the Tail of the Dragon.

Just kidding!!!

Don't live with such fear bud; it's part of wheeling.

Better to think of all of the fun memories he's made taking the rig out before and during this trail run. Sure, it sucks and recoveries cost money, but you can and will make more money, but life experiences and the joy that comes with wheeling deep in the woods with buddies, drankin some beers, and shootin the shit is something I struggle to put a price on.

Honestly mean it that the joy I feel when out in the woods camping or wheeling is what keeps me level. I'll take an occasional breakdown and it has happened to me a few times and to others in my group. We get out our tools, tinker, or drag the vehicle out, get er fixed, then we're right back out at it again.

Swear to you it's more fun than golf.

...And I suck at golf!

So the bad news is we pulled my Bronco off to the side of the trail and temporarily abandoned it deep in the woods this afternoon, and it is sitting on the trail side all alone in the dark tonight.

Man, that sucks.. At least its not the hood so you wont come back to a bronco on blocks with no wheels.
