My wife and I have had our 4-door Badlands Bronco for one year and it has been great! We have just under 20,000 miles on it and it has not been a Pavement Princess. Here is a list of the off-road adventures that we have been on.
• White Rim Trail in Canyonlands NP
• 2 times on Hog’s...
Two of our sons have Wranglers and the other has a Grand Cherokee. What do we have? A Ford Bronco! So my wife made up this vinyl sticker for the back of our Bronco. That's right, it's the Jeep Herder! 😁
We have had our Bronco for about 2.5 months and have put 7,000 miles on it. It has been phenominal, on and off the road! We took it on the Hog's Back Jeep trail yesterday. This was the most extreme trail that we have taken the Bronco on so far. Not crazy extreme but it keeps you on your toes...
I have to start out by saying that someone who owns diesel trucks will have a different perspective than I have. To them, the Bronco 2.7 will probably be way under-powered. However, my background in towing has mainly been with the Dodge Durango with the 5.2 and the Chevy Suburban with the 5.3...
There is something happening to our HVAC system that doesn't seem normal. While we are cruising down the road at 70ish mph, we will periodically and suddenly get a very high volume of air flowing through our vents. A quick check to the fan speed shows it is still set on 1. But the amount of...
Just wondering if others are seeing this same thing. As we are cruising down the highway, the highest trans temps that I have seen is about 201 F. However, when rock crawling in 4-low or going slow over rough terrain in 1st gear (4-high), the temps get up to 214 degrees. I assume the high...
We took a trip this last weekend and got to a point to where the road went through the edge of a lake. Decided to go for it and she took it like a champ! Our son thought it best to get out and film it. :D
Well I can now say that the doors seal well and didn't let water in! 👍
One thing that I keep hearing over and over again from the media is that the Wrangler has more engine options (4) which they claim is a plus. But here is my perspective and one of the biggest reasons why I did not get a Wrangler a year ago.
Two of their options (3.6 and the 2.0 turbo) are...
So we drove off the lot with our new 4-door Bandlands with the 2.7 last Wednesday afternoon. It now has just over 1250 on-road and off-road miles on it. Two of our sons have also taken possession of new Jeep Wranglers, one a Rubicon and the other a Willys. The Rubicon is as close of a...
Just took delivery of our Badlands earlier today. We are so excited! There is one thing however that has me perplexed. We have the auto transmission and I would like the dash to show what gear it's currently in. If I put the trans in manual mode, it shows the current gear at the top of the...
The Bronco R was used in the Baja 1000. This "race truck" used the stock 2.7 engine and transmission. A stock Bronco was also used in the NORRA Mexican 1000. But neither of these races are valid arguments that the 10R60 is good enough because we don't have validated info about what...
Sadly, on more than one occasion, I have been out in the middle of nowhere and have either lost my keys or locked them in the vehicle. So we ordered our Bronco with the "Keyless Entry Keypad" to avoid this problem in the future. However, it got me thinking about the FordPass Unlock feature...
So I placed my order with my dealer before the March 19th deadline. However, he did not provide a printout at the time. Since then, I have receive nothing from Ford or from my dealer indicating that an order has even been placed. The only evidence that the order has been placed is that my...
So Ford has scaled down the production of the F-150 due to chip shortages. I don't know if the Bronco uses the same chips that are causing the F-150 production cuts. Regardless, if production of F-150s has been cut, do you think this will make more 2.7 L engines available for the Bronco and...
Has anyone measured the seat height of the Badlands (or any other trim)? I am in a wheelchair and it would be very helpful to know how difficult it's going to be to get into and out of this thing. My wife and I reserved one but would like to know before we actually place the order. For...
