Some of the Ford connectivity stuff can be pretty useful, but most of it can be done just as well through something like CarPlay or Android Auto, so it's not really necessary. However, they're not gonna refund that, since it's part of the 'as built' and was ordered with the vehicle (even if a...

The guys on here who have the manual and the 4-cylinder, love it. I haven't driven one, because they didn't have one on the lot when we got ours, but we were also getting it for our son's primary vehicle in about a year. Didn't want to train him to drive a manual on something expensive to fix...

I'm not sure on specifics to the Bronco, but if it's like most new vehicles, yes it provides power, up to 30 amps for a short time, otherwise it's enough to run lights and some light-duty accessories, and it DOES charge a standard deep-cycle battery if you are running for half an hour or better...

Alternator has no issue keeping ours above that threshold, but then it mostly goes on longer drives of 40+ minutes every time. If you're short-tripping it all the time, no, it won't keep it charged, but that goes for basically any alternator, not just those with BMS.

Since IIRC this is rack and pinion steering, this would be adjusted by adjusting one tie rod end out and the other in. Will slightly change how far each direction your wheels can turn but not by enough to be noticed. It's...possible...to do this yourself in the garage, but you've got to make...

IIRC someone had posted a thread at one point about how their vehicle got pulled for a random quality inspection - meaning they went back over the whole thing to make sure everything was correct. He wasn't able to find that out until after the vehicle was at the dealership. It's possible you've...

I put my old adjustable hitch in the Bronco (a cheapy) because I have a better hitch for my truck that is rated for what I tow with it. The adjustable hitch (this guy) is rated for a 5k trailer, which is more than the Bronco is rated for and more than I'd ever want to put behind it anyway. Due...

See that's different because you actually wheel. The vast majority of people don't, and at most will drive down some trails where they'll never need half to 3/4 of the capability of a Bronco. And even at that, I'm not saying others SHOULDN'T make mods to their vehicles if they feel like it...

Given that you live in Michigan, it's entirely possible to end up in some pretty unlikely scenarios at the worst possible moment. I've seen some WILD stuff here.

F150 or Super Duty Tremor? I'm not as familiar with the F150, but the Super Duty Tremor is already pretty level from the factory - I know, I have one. I echo a lot of people's sentiments on this thread. We got the Expedition as a people mover, and got it with the 'special edition' package to...

Maybe, but I remember seeing a list of everything that this conglomerate owned...and that many aftermarket companies going out at once are going to leave a MASSIVE void in the market that won't be easy to fill. It's going to negatively impact everyone else for a bit.

While it's not a true 'torque to yield,' one-time-use is basically the same thing. And I'm not a fan...though it turns out our Challenger also has them (on tie rod ends, just replaced them this weekend). I miss the old days when there were physical preventatives in place.

Yeah...wondering if it's going to get expanded in the future to include all of them? Though so far (knock on wood) our '24 seems to be fine.

It's something to keep an eye on, but if you got enough misfires to make the CEL flash, that tells me you're actually getting misfires while driving but not severe enough to make the CEL flash or set a code. Usually it means your tune isn't right for the mods you've done - or at least that's...

I gotta say, I'm not so sure this is 'as built by Ford,' since with 13k miles on it it's already got a new set of tires - those aren't factory tires on any model I'm aware of. If it's been lifted or any of the suspension has been worked on, without a cross-hole for a cotter key there's a good...
