Wait…there are things one can purchase for their Bronco that cost less than $200?

Like the swallows returning to Capistrano, one can count on a classic reply. The majority of time I actually do chuckle audibly.

I want eight cylinders with push rods that has a curb idle of 600 rpm. I ain’t in it for speed, but I am in it for sound and longevity.

Go camping during a cooler season. I have resided in the Mid Atlantic Chesapeake bay region all my life. Summers are hot but it is the humidity that takes its toll. I went to San Antonio once for a work trip. It was 105 outside. When I exited an air conditioned facility the heat was so impactful...

Years ago the driver side mirror on my F150 Lariat was hit by a semi. During my search to find a replacement I became aware the glass section of the mirror simply could be popped out with a flat blade screw driver. The local Ford dealer wanted $550 just for the glass. I went on EBay and bought...

A study has shown a vehicle experiences a non repairable tire failure at a rate of 30%. One could confidently add to that percentage if the vehicle is routinely off roaded. If the vehicle owner pays for tire rotation at say $40 every 10K miles they are $200 deep at 50K. Almost the cost of one...

Today’s Bronco should have NEVER been considered to be put into production without the V8 option. I believe without a doubt when the designers at Ford were tasked with creating the Bronco every one of them believed it would incorporate a V8.

Or you can be like me and never rotate them.

Ford already has Filson merchandise available. Sad.

The price on the window sticker will not reflect the actual price at the dealership lot. A premium will be attached. Mid 70’s is the bait in the trap. For me, Ford is going in the wrong direction. Allow me to beef up a Base two door through options. BTW the motor matters not unless they option a V8.

NEVER disappoints.

My 22 two door Badlands has just over 14K miles and I am still on the original dealership supplied full tank. That’s like 895 miles per gallon.

The motor oil related urban myths are alive and well.

Exactly! Even before any rear camera recall all of any vehicle I wondered if inspection failures due to the rear cam would cause resale issues. Imagine having to pay to have one replaced in order to sell.

Just received a letter from Ford informing me the rear camera now has a fifteen (15) year one time replacement warranty should it fail. I had the rear camera recall carried out about a month ago. Doing the math , fifteen years makes it more than likely a “ life time warranty” in my case. Lol.
