I’m thinking about putting Nitto Ridge Grapplers in place of my Sasquatch stock tires. I want a bit more aggressive tire and really don’t want to run C rated tires on the trail…they are just too weak in my experience.
For those who have made the switch, how is the rain performance and noise...
The CNET review pasted below mentions that: "Inexplicably, however, this model does without a Sport mode. (Over-the-air update, anyone?)"...and of course the lack of a Sport mode in Badlands/FE has been baffling from the beginning. Does anyone have a feel for whether it could be added with a...
I took a 4D WildTrak Soft Top out today for about half an hour, and here are my thoughts:
1) Overall: Loved it. It is a fantastic vehicle. It looks amazing. I am getting Rapid Red, and it was fantastic in person. The 4 door has perfect proportions....assuming Sasquatch package.
2) Interior: I...
In this video, when the guy puts the bolts back on the shock that run through the LCA, he puts the nut on top, instead of the bottom (flipped from stock)...which would seemingly be much better protected and minimize the chance of shearing one off or destroying the threads. That seems like...
My wife and I went to the Battlefield Ford Bronco event in Manassas, VA today. The same two Broncos that were in Richmond yesterday were there, an Iconic Silver Badlands with Lux and optional wheels, and an Antimatter Blue Black Diamond with Sasquatch. Both were 4 doors.
Our impressions and...
I talked to a larger dealer today who said he was at about an 80% reservation to order rate...so higher so far than Ford’s 70% estimate. Very few cancellations, and he’s a reliable guy. I know a lot on here have opined that it would be much lower and we would basically all be getting MY21s...it...
I want a soft top now and had planned to add a black or white hard top later, but the Esteban Q&A yesterday kind of crushed that. I realized that the hard top connections aren’t on a soft top vehicle, but he made it sound like that was permanent, and that they couldn’t be added later when a hard...
The infamous dealer memo laying out the allocation formula for reservations, said that dealers would get an estimate of allocations to fill their orders prior to the order banks opening. Any dealer reps on here know if that has gone out from Ford to the dealers yet?
It looks like all the trims have active grill shutters except for Badlands. Someone yesterday mentioned that having those shutters limits water fording depth, and only the Badlands is good for 33.5...but I can't figure out how it would limit it. Is that right? Would having the shutters limit how...
I'm trying to wrap my head around the GOAT modes and how they will actually work. I was looking at the chart below, which I know is based on assumptions and other vehicles, but it says a couple of other things that are confusing like:
1) "keep in mind these are only assists, and can be manually...
For those of you who understand suspension dynamics better than me...would lifting a Badlands 2” or so to put on 37s, or just to give more space to the 35s, cause problems for the auto sway bar disconnect? I’d hate to pay the premium for Badlands to get that feature, and then have it go away...
Is it verified that there will be no modular hard top availability on Black Diamond? I had just about come to grips with changing from Badlands to Black Diamond, and figuring out how to manually remove the Front Swaybar...but then I saw someone say that you can't get the Black Modular hard top...
So, for the versions that come with skid plates, for those of you with experience with other Ford vehicles, how heavy duty are the Ford heavy duty skid plates? I only have experience with Toyota plates from the factory, which were pretty worthless tin and had to be replaced for any protection...
