I would do it if I was in the same position. I've towed our 3,000lb camper with the Bronco and our 4Runner that has a 5,000lb rating and the Bronco is a vastly superior tow vehicle in every single metric I can think of.
Well good luck and I hope you get it to work. It's going to be pretty close to impossible to get it done the way your describing. The Bronco was one of the first vehicles from a legacy (not Tesla) manufacturer that had fully integrated computer modules making something like this an order of...
There was a whole discussion I think back before production even started and people were warned to stay away from the Badlands if they wanted a big lift and tires. The same thing has been true with the Ruby for years.
I still think it's worth a couple grand. It's more about driving in the snow than off roading of course. Having to constantly disengage 4wd to prevent binding while turning was a huge pain in the ass, and I would never want to go back.
Still no X-plan, and Farley really wants to reign in the overuse of X plan pricing across the board so I'm not sure they are eager to bring Bronco into the fold anytime soon.
The inverter Is a modified sine wave, not a true sine wave, and I'm guessing a 240w laptop charger would have some fairly sophisticated electronics that wouldn't like that much, particularly if it monitors voltage the modified sine wave would look like a huge spike.
This is something beyond salt spray. The chrome is particularly telling, as is the pervasiveness of the corrosion. I would be willing to bet that at some point it was exposed to a gaseous oxidizing agent like chlorine, fluorine, bromine, hydrogen peroxide, etc. When and where is really the...
They are SMC specifically. High compression sheet molding compound. They do have fiberglass in them but not in the same sense as a traditional woven sheet/polyester resin layup like on a Corvette for example. I believe the mythical Mod top is SMC too. We have to remember the mic was...
I had an '10 but didn't come directly to the Bronco, I had 4 other vehicles in between. I looked at them again in '17 but thought it was too outdated way back then. They are basically like buying a new used vehicle. Not that I didn't love it and I still do, but it's more of a nostalgic thing...
Azure. I was excited about the color but in person it's just an ugly dull version of A51. The metallic is almost non existent unless you're 5ft away from it in the bright sun.
I'd wait it out. I've had a lot of cars, nice cars, fast cars, luxury cars with ridiculous features. For all of it's faults (and terrible build quality) I've never loved a vehicle as much. If I wreck it tomorrow I'm gonna get right back in line for another.
It's an interesting idea. If Ford does decide to bring the Everest to the US it might be better to move it up market so as not to cannibalize Bronco Sales. There is clearly a strong and lucrative market for premium, more modestly off-road capable SUV's
I'm a huge Toyota and 4Runner fan, but their latest trucks have been a bit of a mess. The current gen Tacoma has been a dumpster fire from the start and Toyota has made almost no attempt to address it's many issues. Tacoma reliability has been rated poorly for years but they continue to cruise...
I saw one the other day going down the road. I thought it was just a dirty A51 at first until I noticed all the factory stickers on it. Looked like area 51 but just duller and grayer. Might look better in the sun, but I don't know, the metallic looks pretty lame as well. I'm baffled why they...
Go ahead and get yourself some wolves and they will take care of that Coyote problem. We have property above the Bridge. When the wolves came back they ran off the Coyote's and the native animal populations recovered too. They mostly just eat deer which are wildly overpopulated anyways. We now...
What I'm not understanding from your description of what happened is why there is damage to the flange in the area of the bolt hole on the high of the shear condition, and why the direction of the of the shear condition is opposite of what point loading the flange would cause, but exactly what...
That's mostly a lot of legal ass covering. Obviously they aren't going to "reduce" the tounge weight, but they do significantly reduce or eliminate the problem that having too much tounge weight casues, which is unloading of the front axle.
The recommended tounge weight only applies to factory suspension without a leveling kit. If that tounge weight is actually 300lbs and the Bronco is squatting that much your adjusted max tounge weight is probably more in the low 200 range taking into account your mod's. I personally wouldn't...
