Anyone with a non-sas that plans on upgrading tires? I’m considering upgrading to on/off-road AT tires and bumping up to a 33inch on my big bend. Most of my driving will be commuting on road with the occasional camping trips and upstate NY snow storms. Anyone have any recommendations? I’ve heard good things about Cooper AT3’s and of course KO2’s

no idea at this point I’ve received no communication since the email for the tracker.
Same. Other than the weekly off-rodeo stuff.

My dealership has never been very communicative either. People are driving floor models past their 6m hold and I still don't know if mine is built or not. :/

I've got some "35s" waiting to go on. 315/70/17 Falken Rubitrek. supposedly very comparable to the WildPeaks but less road noise. Those are going on my Black Diamond, gonna throw the stock wheels and tires on my wife's big bend. I have heard good things about the AT3s and the K02s but my cousin has a wheel and tire shop and hooked it up with the Rubitreks.

Use a smart phone. A computer doesn't offer the account signup.
It was a little finicky, got it to work but had to switch from mobile to "desktop site" on my phone browser's settings, back n forth a few times to get the "not a robot" option and the "register" box. Stick with it and it'll eventually work

Less road noise is definitely a big one for me. I don't need something crazy aggressive or as big as 35's but something a bit beefier than the stock 32's would be nice lol

Mine is on its way to Granger… slowly.

Been tracking using the CSX phone number.

Made decent progress down into OH, and then to East Chicago, now its been sitting there for over a day.

Not sure how far it makes it on rail before a truck picks it up.
Mine is also on its way to Granger, do you have an ETA for the end of the month ? If so were probably on the same train.

I have a problem, where I cannot leave anything stock lol. The wheels I got are a dark bronze, so i might be color matching a few items on the bronco as well depending how it looks :ROFLMAO: . I've gone through a lot of vehicles in the last 4 years because up until my corvette they've all been boring cars. I'm really looking forward to something new and fun to mess around with

I got peer pressured into the 35s by my friends with 4Runners 🤣 I was planning on 33s. I have a short commute so i figured why not. I'm used to getting 13mpg anyways lol

Sounds like you have some pretty great friends! I also have a short commute only living 10 minutes from my job :LOL: I'm going from a Subaru Crosstrek that gets high 20's MPG to the Bronco so I'm trying to sacrifice as little as I can in that regard.

My last "Daily Driver" (I've been working from home since Covid started) was a 2011 chevy caprice cop car, bought with a blown engine and put a lightly built LS3 in it. dyno'd at 500hp and got a cool 13mpg on a good day in atlanta traffic. And i had to run premium. so this will be a nice little upgrade lol

Honestly, my advice if you are at all concerned with MPGs is to not buy the Bronco. You will probably get around half the MPGs of a Subaru. You can drive it like a baby and put small highway tires on it, and it might improve but it will still suck. Either buy the Bronco thinking "I don't give a shit about the MPG" or buy something else imho.

So I'm guessing I'm either in Jersey now, or will be at some point 🤔. Says inactive so I'm not reading too much into the map. But it's now another link to track. Along w/ pizza that still says 1/04 in production and an eta of 2/04. Still no emails and dealership is 🦗. But on the plus side 3 0 0 is on the horizon
