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.
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.
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.
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
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...
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.
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...
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.
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...
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.
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...
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...
