Compentent, knowledgable, enthusiast dealers like Town & Country Ford in Bessimer, AL, The place in Iowa, The place in West Virginia, etc. are the exception to the rule. All automobile dealerships primary goal is to separate you from your money first and foremost. Quality and service are at the...
All of my Ford Ranger hoods (aluminum) have bubbles at the leading edge. it's better than steel, but only just. Paints are coatings, they fail like anything else. Water gets in and corrodes the base metal. Everything is going to eventually fail in time, it's the order of the universe.
The problem with beadlock - "ready" wheels is cost, complexity and damage to the tire is inevitable with repeated mounting/demounting of the bead. The same problems exist with full beadlocks, minus damage to the tire and mouting/demounting, but adds DOT legality. Frankly the same issues with...
I broke the transmission in my Ranger pulling something it was "rated" to tow. I replaced my Ranger with an F350 with a V8 and I broke that, so I got an F250 with a V10. Haven't broken that yet... There is a tool for every application. Never assign a tool to a man for an application you believe...
I'm eternally grateful because Jesus loves me and wants me to have a Ford Bronco. Have you embraced the eternal love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?
If you're not towing or doing something that requires a stiff or puncture resistant sidewall, you're wasting your money on E rated tires. I run E's on my F250 and F350, but on anything I don't tow with, they all have C's. If you have 15 inch wheels, you're automatically forced into a C rating as...
SO far this year, Ford has built just over 7,000 Broncos of any configuration. Full serial production doesn't ramp up for another month. There are 125,000 converted orders. The basic math says there are 118,000 people waiting, you're one of them.
If I were buying just a trail rig, it'd be a Sasquatch with no options, but that's not my usage case. If I could afford to have two payments, definitely a "nice" Badlands and a basequatch. I'd swap the trail-specific bits between them or replicate them (bash plates) in duralum...
Because that's what the dealer ordered? Sorry, but the dealer, being the primary customer of Ford, has precedence over all of us mere mortals, thems the breaks.
I have a seven year old Boxer (American) Bulldog mix, while he's my travel buddy, he will not be riding in the Bronco, he's only allowed in the F150, F250, F350 and Ranger. I have a photo of him as a puppy on the leather in my S60R ("Atacama" - Orange) and that was the last time he rode...
