  1. For those who haven't bought your Bronco yet...

    ā€˜23 BB Sas with the V6. I canā€™t say enough good about the 2.7 EcoBoost. Iā€™m averaging 19 mph, about 60% on the highway and love its torque and refinement. Itā€™s not ā€œfastā€ like a 5.0 Mustang but the midrange power is fantastic. Passing slower vehicles on a 2-lane is a piece of cake, it gets...
  2. Production photos?

    I did. But not until after I'd already taken delivery! It came in an e-mail from Ford
  3. Gas Mileage Boost

    I'm at 19.3 over 9200 miles on my '23 BB Sasquatch 2.7 4 dr. Staying out of the boost is a big part of it, so is speed on highway trips. At 75 mph, I can eke out mid 18s, if I push it to 80 or 82, it drops into the 16 range. The Bronco is a lot of things, but it ain't aerodynamic. Pushing...
  4. Possible Heater Core issue?

    Where were you? In the South, this time of year can be weird. Moderate temperatures but high humidity. Running the A/C not only cools the air but also extracts moisture through the evaporation process which in some atmospheric conditions can result in fog. Thatā€™s likely what youā€™re seeing. I...
  5. Trans pan w/drain by Dorman

    Buy it from a place that will allow you to return it after youā€™ve inspected it closely. Dorman may make some OEM parts, but my experience with them is the quality varies wildly depending on the part and where it gets manufactured. How much is a new OEM pan from one of the Ford parts houses...
  6. (fun list!) Bronco accessories to be avoided! (keep it friendly)

    Add the Ford folding tailgate table. The table itself is decent but requires you drill 4 holes in the tailgate of your new Bronco and the hardware Ford supplies to mount it once youā€™ve drilled those holes is garbage.
  7. Windshield Replaced but is it the correct one?

    2 experiences with Safelite, one on my ā€˜16 Cad XTS was perfect. Came to my house, GM glass, installed and calibrated using a box that plugged into the OBS port. Worked and fit perfectly. A couple years later my ā€˜20 MDX Tech got a huge crack. Due to Covid we had to wait 5 months for new glass...
  8. I'm a Ford guy, but...

    So true. One year in my Bronco has been perfect with zero issues. But my local Ford dealer is average at best and horrible on sales so I really donā€™t want to test them. Previously we had a Grand Cherokee, the Jeep dealer was like being in an abusive relationship and I just kept going back for...
  9. OJ's Bronco For Sale

    Iā€™m up for any clean Bronco if the price is commensurate with the condition. But first stop for ACā€™s Bronco would be the paint shop, some Navy Blue or Carbon Gray 2-tone would immediately eliminate the ā€œO.J.ā€™s Broncoā€ comments.
  10. Ford stole $1,300 worth (262k points) of reward points - empty hardtop promises.

    They do expire after 365 days if no activity points wise. Write to Farley, Ford does not need any more bad publicity, Bronco, Lightning, Maverick etc. have all had bad pub plus all the recalls. Stress you waited almost 2 full years while Ford held onto your deposit, the least they can do is...
  11. Four Problems in a 6.5 mile trip!

    This weak battery stuff is real. My Bronco's been fine, but on Sunday my wife's '20 MDX AWD had a flat left front tire. I put on the spare "limited service" tire the MDX came with, inflated it to 60psi per the recommendation and pulled out onto the road. One 90' left turn onto the freeway...
  12. Bronco Raptor Black Appearance Package w/ Painted Hardtop Debuts Under Total Solar Eclipse

    Another crazily overpriced package by Ford. Nothing different than a standard Raptor other than a dose of black paint. This pkg at $995 would be rip off but attractive and likely popular. At 5 grand, pushing a Raptor over 100k, No Bueno.
  13. Tailgate Shelf

    I'd send it back and go aftermarket. Like you, I used my Ford points to order this shelf, it arrived no problems. However it requires using the paper template that's included to drill 4 holes in the tailgate of your new Bronco and pray you don't bottom out the bit on the exterior panel or that...
  14. 2.3 Bronco Engine fire šŸ˜­

    Car fires are pretty rare, the $800 20k service may be a clue. I'd pour over that invoice looking for anything that is outside of what Ford recommends for service. Dealers will do some really dumb stuff to pad the service invoice, different chemicals, cleaners, tweaks, etc. that might be the...
  15. Replacement stickers... insanely expensive?

    I'd skip it on the upper sides and rear, focus the PPF investment on the lower doors/rockers and the leading edge of the hood. My year old 10k mi BB has a few small nicks already in those areas, mostly stones thrown up by trucks or the Bronco's tires. I wish I had done the PPF on mine as those...
  16. Can anyone beat this? Works Maintenance Package service for $39.95

    Good price and certainly using the dealer is more confidence inspiring (& warranty saving) than one of the drive-thru Quik Lube places using bulk oil and a no-brand filter. I used my Ford dealer always for service in N Atlanta, always a great experience and they used to offer "The Works" for...
  17. Towing question

    Well... when I was young and incredibly stupid, I towed a 21 ft. Mako center console with a 150 Merc on it 18 miles to a repair shop... with my '77 VW Rabbit and a JC Whitney bolt-on hitch. Car, Boat and driver all lived to tell about it. On a mountain road, the biggest concern will be...
  18. Bronco sitting for over a year

    No idea why it would sit for a year, but while it may be untitled, its certainly not a "new" car. Unless it's been stored covered, with the cylinders fogged and the gas tank drained, it was not prepared for a years slumber. And if out in the open all kids of surface contaminants have adhered...
  19. Non-OEM Glass

    If your Bronco has any of the distance sensing or light sensors attached to the windshield up around the mirror, you need to mention that to the adjuster and insist on OEM glass for both warranty and safety purposes. USAA immediately authorized OEM glass on both my Cadillac and Acura the past...
  20. Am I being too paranoid?

    Two steel posts snapped cleanly in half. It looks like the break was pretty far down the post, implying that the headrest was fully extended and the leverage exerted on the headrest by your recoiling noggin created sufficent force to break the two metal posts. Not sure what kind of metal thos...
