And yet there’s thousands of 2.7 engines in the wild still running for years and hundreds of thousands of miles. You are trying to use a single high mileage incident to prove that this is a fatal design flaw so don’t take it personally when some of us roll our eyes.

I didn't realize that the myQ Home Bridge was discontinued. That allows HomeKit functionality.

The mall crawler in all its glory.

Sludge usually requires time to build up. I wonder if the previous owner went too long without changing the oil.

I actually use CarPlay more to open and close my opener than the visor buttons and the range is far superior. If your opener has myQ it's easy to integrate.

I've seen some comments that once you remove the roof panels, it's hard to have them seal like they came out of the factory. Do you have to fiddle with them to get perfect fitment when putting back together?

Yeah it's a smaller engine but the reality is that it's only 0.4L smaller. We aren't talking major displacement difference.

OP I saw your post on the FB group as well. Owning a Ford out of warranty is always pretty sketchy and given yours has been plagued with issues I would probably move on. On the flip side if your Bronco had lived a problem free life, then you at least have faith to ride things out past warranty.

Autostop Eliminator. One of the best mods at any price.

Vendors that make $$ selling mods like this.

Not a lot different than BMW M owners or Porsche owners that pay $$$ for these ultra fast sports cars that never see the track. People want the image and capability even if they never push the performance of the vehicles to what they were designed for.

Ford couldn't make a viable case to bring the Bronco back if not for the mall crawlers. Based on Jeep executive estimates, 85-90% of owners use these vehicles as mall crawlers. https://www.powernationtv.com/post/what-percent-of-jeep-owners-actually-use-them-for-off-roading

Im surprised that wouldn’t be one of the EOL checklist items to test for safety compliance for every vehicle rolling off the line.

Shouldn’t a dealership at least stock the bolts if scheduling recall inspection? They are just bolts at the end of the day and it seems incredibly wasteful to have to order them after the fact and give you a loaner.

Dude. Most of your crude oil comes from Canada. It's probably why we don't have a shortage at the moment as we have a lot and our smaller population base doesn't consume nearly as much.
