After sitting in a railyard for 6 days only 100 miles away and then spending another day constructively placed at the final rail destination, it looks like my Bronco was unloaded from the railcar. It woke up from deep sleep mode _and_ I got a GPS update. It seems like the GPS updates are only on vehicle start/stop or something.

Got it at lunch. Only took 498 days. Switched out pizza cutter for 265/75 16 Falken Wildpeaks. First one in my town, but Sports are trying to claim they were first.

looks great! I’m considering that same exact tire/size…any chance we could get a shot from the side to see how they look from that angle?

Sorry for the night time pictures, but I was worried about forgetting to post them. These are the 4 ply version. I did drive it on the 30s and the boost stayed at zero at 60 MPH on them. With what I have calculated to be about 60 on these it seems to be boosting slightly. Like a quarter pound or so then back to zero. That was on a different road and it was a warmer day so IDK if that had anything to do with it. I kind of like the look. I had been second guessing these thinking I should have gone with 33s, but so far I like them. They aren’t loud and they don’t seem to throw rocks that bad. I do wonder if maybe a 17” alloy with a 32 might be a lighter combo? I have the 2.7 and I was thinking that 1500 RPM at 60 would be the best for mileage but now I’m not so sure.

Wow thanks for doing that…super, super helpful. Pretty sure these are the tires I’m gonna get, now that I see them in action (even though they’re oddly pricey down here in TX at the moment). Really appreciate ya!

You picked the wrong vehicle to attempt to maximize fuel economy. However, what you are looking for is the engine RPM where BSFC is lowest, for that you would definitely want to be closer to the torque peak, there simply is not enough volumetric efficiency at 1500 rpm to expect mileage to be near it's peak.

I would suggest that you try manual transmission mode and see what happens when you select 7th, 8th, or 9th gear. 10th is likely too steep for good mileage at 60 MPH.

It probably means something, just nothing useful to you or me.

Yeah I’m a steady 16.5 mpg so far. Also the one gripe I have is the wireless charger doesn’t charge steadily. The phone keeps needing to be moved. It’s not that the phone is moving around because you could be sitting in the parking lot for ten minutes and it’ll stop charging after a couple. Again it’s my only gripe. I’m just going to buy a 1 foot cord and call it good. Nice steelies btw

Anyone else get the build week email for 10/25/21 but in production showing 11/2/2021 and never changed to built or delivery and no word from anyone??? I have tried calling Ford and my dealer with no luck. No one seems to know what's going on.

reserved 7/14/2020, ordered 1/30/2021, 4 door Big Bend, Oxford White, Mid pkg, tow, hard top
I was 10/25 build week with 11/2 In Production. Stayed In Production until the 23rd,when I got a "Built" email, and then moved to "Shipped" on the 25th.
