Enough has been said about 4A and 4H. My recommendation is that you need to carry a set of chains in order to get past chain control. They don’t have to fit, but having 4WD with snow tires (all season tires qualify) and carrying chains will get you past CHP chain control. I have driven in the...

I have a 2021 OBX 2.7 with just over 36,000 miles. I change the oil religiously every 5,000 miles and only use premium top tier gas. The local Ford dealer I use for maintenance is advocating their Fuel Induction Service which I have declined so far. As a rule, I don’t install products that are...

If I recall correctly, the engine options were a 351 & 400. My neighbor did buy a 78 model and installed his own 460 after it was a year old and out of warranty.

As a matter of info the dealer I use has quoted an estimated $600 for for transmission service and an interval of 60,000 miles (I am currently at 36,000). After researching and seeing what has to be done, I’ll use and exhaust my FordPass miles at the dealer for the service when I reach 60k.

With all the thefts of vehicles at dealerships, the KARR system was likely installed as theft prevention/deterrence and the dealer now wants you to pay for their security, even though most cars come with their own security systems. Removal process...

To be politically correct, earlier model OBX (like mine) have the added Advanced Transfer Case and 4.27 gearing, or just the 4.27 gearing, both with rear lockers. Skid plate addition to the undercarriage can add piece of mind in non rock crawling conditions that may contain other trail...

There have been several articles in the trade press to validate how expensive The Strip has become with pay to park, buffets starting at $50, cocktails costing $25, the resort fees and $50 early check-in fee, etc. When we were going to NASCAR every year, we stayed at the Gold Coast Hotel and...

You’ll need to add skid plates to protect the undercarriage items (fuel tank, engine, transmission, transfer case, etc).

Make sure you have added skid plates to protect the undercarriage as the transmission case and fuel tank are made of plastic

Another good reason to buy from Granger is the ability to purchase an Extended Warranty at a heavily discounted price at the time of Bronco purchase, as Calif now has a law in place preventing an out of state warranty purchase, even from a legitimate dealer.

Although there may be some coverage (assuming no off-road use exclusion exists) for off road damage, your collision deductible will be applied and the damage will be considered to be an at fault accident, thus your insurance rate will increase and you might find it very difficult to go elsewhere...

There is no right and wrong here. Back in the day (70’s and 80’s) 32 and 33 in tires were the tallest available and engine horsepower was 220 or less. I ordered 4.27 gearing on my OBX for the flexibility of adding larger tires with the lowest cost of performance and fuel mileage based on...

Your best bet is to use the Carfax Car care app to input your service, which you can then be able to share for a potential buyer down the road. Even though the dealer I use for service is a CarFax member, they don’t report the service work performed, hence my manual entries on that app.

Florida is a No Fault insurance state, thus It’s tough to compare their rates against a traditional insurance state such as California, Nevada, Az, etc due to the differences of required coverage.

I have a 2021 subject to the engine recall that just turned 30,000 mi on the odo. No change in MPG has been seen though real world MPG #’s compared with the dash readings have always been 4-5% lower

You would have hated living and owning a car back in the 1970’s when a car’s life span was 100,000 miles and a new vehicle warranty was 12 mo/12,000 miles (but back then cars were so much easier to work on). FWIW, my first car was a 4 yr old 1970 Bronco and more recently wanted another one. I...

My first 2 windshields were OEM with all the Bronco labeling and it was mfg by Carlite (no longer a Ford owned company). The 3rd and current windshield, non OEM, and mfg by Fuyao, an additional OEM mfg of windshields (mine has none of the Bronco labeling). This replacement has lasted 1/ 1/2...

A friend of mine owns an auto glass shop. They charge $250 for the required calibration after windshield replacement. They have to perform the calibration to avoid liability in case of an accident and the calibration equipment cost them $16,000, thus they have to recoup that expense that is part...

I have now received 2 text messages informing me that remote features of the FordPass app have been disabled to preserve the battery. My Bronco is not quite 3 1/2 yrs old with 29,000 miles, but not withstanding this message, I know the time for battery replacement is getting near. The voltage...
