  1. 2.7 Towing MPG

    Mine is non SAS. I think that is where a lot of the big mpg differences are coming from. 2dr to 4dr doesn't make much difference. It's really about rotating weight of the wheels and air resistance.
  2. 2.7 Towing MPG

    Going over Buffalo pass near steamboat in Colorado.
  3. 2.7 Towing MPG

    I just towed my teardrop trailer from the east coast to steamboat springs Colorado. Average mpg for the trip is 18.5. My normal mpg is 20.5 over 15,000 miles. I'm pretty pleased with that result. The teardrop weighs around 1000lb.
  4. Alarm keeps triggering

    I have the same issue. BD base tech trim. Alarm randomly goes off sometimes when parked. Hey fob button is not being pressed and nothing is touching the car.
  5. Dealership may have driven in 4H on pavement

    When you turn corners the front and rear wheels are moving at different speeds which causes drivetrain binding
  6. Dealership may have driven in 4H on pavement

    4H doesn't actually lock the rear differential. It locks the front wheels to the rear wheels. I think you're right though that some people would mistake 4H for 4A and damage their vehicle
  7. Dealership may have driven in 4H on pavement

    I brought my bronco in for the day to get a scratched rear window replaced (shipping damage). When I went to pick it up it was in shifted into 4H. Maybe it got accidentally shifted, but It seems likely that the dealership drove the truck while they had it, in 4H, on pavement. Probably it's...
  8. Cant complain about the MPG

    I'm averaging 19.3mpg over 2100 miles with a BD 2door non-sas v6
  9. Real world 2 door 2.7 MPG

    Yeah I'm expecting my MPG to go down as I do more city start stop driving. Currently averaging 19.3 overall in the last 900 miles but that's probably 70%+ highway commuting.
  10. Real world 2 door 2.7 MPG

    Lol ok man 😂😂. I stand by what I said. I wasn't "trying really hard" to get good mileage, as evidence by my detailed trip report. I was trying to give others on this forum a good data point backed up with real world details. I'm sorry my experience doesn't match perfectly with how you think...
  11. Real world 2 door 2.7 MPG

    Not sure how this is "trying really hard". This is a pretty standard drive to the mountains and back for me. In fact I'd say the conditions weren't that great for getting good fuel economy. Heavy wind, lots of hills, snow, multiple stops, etc. Also had a passenger, and gear in the back.
  12. Real world 2 door 2.7 MPG

    Oh yeah, and this was on 87 octane.
  13. Real world 2 door 2.7 MPG

    Just got home from my first longish trip in my 2door non-sas BD 2.7. Traveled 252 miles round trip with 90% hilly interstate driving through the white mountains at cruise controlled 70mph, and 10% snowy back roads at probably 30mph average. Stopped probably 5-6 times on the trip. Half of the...
  14. Ice between roof panels causes creaking

    So I noticed an annoying feature on my mic hardtop. When it snows and then melts, water gets into the seal between panels and at night that water freezes. Then the next day when you drive the panels flex and the ice creaks really loud for a long time.
  15. First snow drive

    2H. No 4A on my bronc
  16. Drop a Picture of Your Bronco for a Rating

    Gotta love the green
  17. First snow drive

    Not trying to prove any point. I just don't feel like I need 4H unless I'm having traction issues. With advanced traction and stability control there's really not much advantage to turning on 4H unless you are trying to get up a steep hill and are unable to find traction. Typically people get...
  18. Somehow got the tow package for free

    Yep exactly. My order sheet shows exactly the cost of the tow package I removed less than the window sticker.
  19. Somehow got the tow package for free

    I had the tow package originally on my order, them I removed it to try to get ahead in line and resigned the new, reduced price purchase agreement prior to order lock. Fast forward a few months to delivery and come to find out my bronco has the tow package installed even though I didn't pay for...
  20. 🚨 Bronco leads police on chase in Cripple Creek Colorado

    Lol I love how he is pulling into a gas station. Probably had to stop for gas after a couple miles hauling ass away from the cops in that thirsty boy.
