Hey Kyle, welcome aboard and good luck.
I'll start off with a simple question, maybe you have the answer.

Tow hitch (Ford) installed after delivery. Will it be plug and play or will I be running wires all over the place?

And....

Signature lights and standard use same plugs? In other words, would I be able to install Signature lights on my Base Bronco?

Thanks in advance.

Good luck. You’ve just opened up Pandora’s box of stupid, lame and useless questions from the forum. I’ll pray for you

Are you here as an official representative of Ford or just a helpful forum member. If the latter, you may mysteriously disappear! ;)

Thanks Kyle. I will refrain from asking specific questions until such time as you have had the opportunity to actually get hands on experience. But great to have your expertise up in here!!!

Welcome!

Have you had a chance to poke around the Bronco much yet? If so, what would you look to do as a new owner from a mechanical perspective? There has been a lot of consternation on the forum over things like the drain plug, plastic oil pan, whether or not a catch can is needed ...

Given your knowledge, what would you look to do to your Bronco in the first 6 months to either address concerns or improve reliability? Or, would you just leave everything as it came from the factory?

Hi there Kyle,

Which engine option would you recommend for the Bronco, the 2.3L or 2.7L? Is one more reliable than the other?
Both engines have been around for a few years and seem to pretty reliable compared to some other Ford engines. In my opinion, the 2.7 is the best option. It has proven to be very reliable and has great horsepower and torque numbers. I have yet to drive a Bronco with the 2.7, but I’m sure it is a blast!

Hi Kyle,

What do you think of tuning the Bronco with the 10r60 transmission?
Welcome!

Everyone is always worried about the plastic drain plugs and pans. To be honest, I have personally not seen any problems with them or have had any customers come in with broken ones. It saying maybe some skid plates may not be a bad idea, but the plastic is not as bad as it may seem.


What are your thoughts on catch can or best preventive upgrade we can do to prolong the life of the vechile?
Catch cans are always a good option for turbo charged vehicles. I do Super Charger installs on Mustangs and F150 and 9/10 times the customer ops for the catch can. It’s a nice little added insurance and definitely helps with prolonging engine wear and tear.

What’s up with the new FL-2062A? Equal to the old filter design and good enough by your standards or a downgrade?
