❓ The Mother-of-All Bronco FAQ's Thread

[_jeff]

Thank you for taking the time to put this together!

One very small thing:

-GOAT: Goes Over All Terrain

Go Over Any Type of Terrain

I can only imagine Ford is hoping we just all refer to it as Go Over Any/All Terrain.

Once again a guru knocks it out the park. Thanks for your hard work and knowledge.

This is amazing. Thank you!

This took longer than I thought. If anyone has any suggestions or feel something needs to be changed, then gladly post away. Seeing some of the same questions starts to get old after a while.

I know I missed some stuff so add away.

This is awesome. Thanks for taking the time to collate the information into one post..

I’ve always wondered, why does OBX (Outer Banks) have an X? All the other trims get by with two letters.

 

[Vantcrst]

Honestly, that is by far the best thread i have seen here. Good on you and thanks.

I’ve always wondered, why does OBX (Outer Banks) have an X? All the other trims get by with two letters.

Because that's how us North Carolinians have been abbreviating the real Outer Banks for ever. It all started because if you go to the DMV in Manteo, NC, your license plate will start with "OBX" followed by some numbers. You can only get those plates at that particular DMV, which is in the Outer Banks.

Great Job! I hope the dealerships read this so they may fine out what is going on.

[Paul Gagnon]

Here's one that has no answer.

Why can't Ford figure out how to put power seats in the two door?

 

[Benzo520]

Can someone explain the meaning behind the blend date on a window sticker?
