Just for fun, I wondered if ECO mode actually helped my mileage on my commute. So, after break in period, I ran for approximately 1500 miles on normal, then 1500 miles on ECO (yes, I pushed that stupid OK button every time I started up). The results?
Normal mode, 1584.8 miles, 18.9 mpg

I never got anything from the WV DMV. Stephens sent me the title a couple of days after I picked up the car. After that, it’s a simple pdf form to fill out from the VA DMV site. They will let you title it via mail, but I didn’t want to risk that. Made a reservation at a local DMV branch (they...
One to add re: hard tops. Make sure all the parts of the soundproofing are attached to all the panels. When I picked up mine a month ago, the drivers side roof panel did not have any sound insulation. The insulation was present on the passenger side panel and the cab.
And I’m case you’re...
@Discount Tire took care of me. Got advice from Don here on the forums, purchased tires and set up installation on the Discount tire website. My local franchise location installed new tires, and bought the originals. Price for buy back depends upon individual locations, so YMMV. While I could...
Paging @CO-Bronco ...
You can update mine to delivered. Quite the journey.
Immediately put on 275/70/18 BFG KO2s, which helped tremendously with the look.
Of course, as you may have seen in the MIC 2.0 Top Issues thread, Ford had one last middle finger for me. While the top itself looked...
Yeah, hard to find non-E load at the size. There are a couple (like the General Grabber), but they seem to be out of stock most places.
First impressions are a very slightly harsher ride, but not really bad. I haven’t tried lowering the pressure (they are at 37 psi), which might alleviate it a...
Here’s my 2 dr OBX with OEM tires and then 275/70/18 BFG KO2s. Subtle size difference, but definitely more aggressive. IMO, this is a good balance for a 2 door. But YMMV.
Picking up my Bronco as we speak. More top QC issues, but at least not directly related to the construction of the top.
They forgot to put sound deadening on one of my panels. Now I get to look at a lovely orange spray paint mark until I can get a dealer to address.
According to what I've been told (and seen installed), 285/70/18 and 285/75/18 will fit the OBX with stock wheels, with no lift (but will require crash bar removal). 275/70/18 seems to be the largest that require absolutely no mods. You also have to consider the availability and cost of...
Just wanted to add my vote for car rental. Was thinking about Uber, but after reading about the drive to the venue, decided against it. Glad I went with rental. Last mile or so to the location is gravel, so I’m not sure Uber would do it.
We spent several days on the Vegas strip before the...
Finally, exactly 3 months after my blend date, and 131 days after my original June 7 build date, I got my built email today. Estimated 10/29-11/4 delivery.
Heads up to @CO-Bronco for tracker update.
@mcalpal, some hope could be on the horizon. @VGK_Fan reported he got his “built” email yesterday. His rotation number is 180 in front of mine, and I’m a mere 2 in front of yours. So, fingers crossed.
