April Wine?! Tell me your Canadian, without telling me your Canadian, lol. From the same era but opposite ends of the country, throw on some Prism, specifically Armageddon and see if you can get the oil change done between the opening sounds of the jets scrambling and the closing notes. 😆 If you...
I have a '26 Badlands with a painted roof and even when TrailRax comes up with the appropriate shallow bracket, I'm still going to pass. I would rather see the bumper and frame bear cargo load rather than my fancy painted roof so I would prefer an exoskeleton rack solution like you see on many...
Thanks for that insight because I just took delivery of a four door Badlands and was a bit disappointed to see that the roof underside is white not black.
As far as I'm concerned, dodging logging trucks is a piece of cake compared to dodging bears. And given that you've lived on the Island, you would know we have a high concentration of cougars. Worst in North America, I believe. I've only ever seen one and fortunately it was walking away from me...
I didn't hit Port Hardy on this trip principally because it is the far north end of the Island and I live in the south but I also have a love-hate relationship with that place. Let me explain.
The love of course comes from the fact that Port Hardy is the gateway to San Josef Bay, one of the...
Ha yes, I've owned enough of the "good-for-resale" tones in my life. It was either VB or EG and by the time I was able to buy, Ford had made up my mind on that, lol. Some days, I'm green with envy, but I'll survive. 😆
I picked up my Badlands yesterday at an out-of-town dealer so I'm moseying home down Vancouver Island, camping as I go. I prefer spots on water and last night didn't disappoint with a conventional campground spot overlooking some rapids. Whether it's ocean waves lapping the shore or, in this...
I did a lap of CO three summers back in a Bronco but it was rented so nothing adverse for me. To that point though, there is a lot more to that incredibly beautiful state than wheeling. So many amazing mountain towns, Telluride being among them - and the free gondola there is epic. And for some...
That's bang on. I emailed my dealer and he said my Bronco is now in a railyard in Vancouver and waiting for a transport truck to bring it to the Island. He couldn't give me a date on when that would happen (!) and although he didnt come out and say it (and I didn't press the issue), his...
Why, thanks! Now I'm going to have lines like:
Well, we shot the line and we went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
An' eleven long-haired Friends a' Jesus
In a chartreuse micro-bus.
rolling around in my head for the rest of the day! 😆 The theme song was one catchy tune back in the day.
My Badlands was shipped March 2 and has yet to arrive at the dealer. According to Ford’s order tracking website, the originally provided ETA window of March 25-31 is now April 3-9! That's 38 days if one considers the far end of the window. I live on the other side of the continent and realize it...
I'm a longtime Ford Owner and one of my favourite features is the keyless entry pad. When I park my F-150 at the beach, I hide my key in the truck's interior and can enjoy going swimming without worrying about someone swiping my key from my stuff on the sand. If someone somehow gains entry to my...
I estimate that I'll be taking delivery of my '26 Badlands in two weeks and being able to order exactly what one wants has been incredible. That being said, there are some absolutely fantastic clear out prices on the 25s and if you widen the geographic reach of your search you may be able to get...
