This stock Outerbanks that I’ve been using just rolled over 20,000 miles on my way home to Texas from Colorado. I want to do a full 20k review but also answer any questions that you guys have? So fire away I’ll answer them in a video and plug who asked them. For reference this stock OBX has been to Whistler BC, California, Utah, South Padre Island Texas, and ran some of the most iconic things in the nation like Top of the world, Hells Revenge, Black Bear Pass, and more. It’s also towed a 3000 lb trailer for about 2000 miles and will be towing it again 2400 to King of the Hammers in Johnson Valley California.

very cool ... just out of curiosity, how did you get the mud spray so high in the back?

As a 2.3 he's saying it wouldn't, couldn't, but postulating that if it were a 2.7 then it would not have gone over 3000.

Which is total BS
I love this! Both of you. Just proves the point that it is basically only on this forum that people even know about or give it any thought. Drive it daily and don't worry IMO.

Glad to hear that the 2.3 pulled the trailer fine. I will be getting the 2.7 regardless and expect that it will be equally as good towing but hearing your testimonial will be reassuring. I'll be towing between 3k and 3.5k so I'm at the limits. Thanks for sharing!

How has the ride quality of your OBX been in comparison to a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (if you have one to compare it to :))? Not the handling but the ride quality.

Thanks and glad it has been serving you so well!

Can you please go into a little detail on any trail damage you found? I see that the plastic skid plates crapped out.

I have a 2D OBX on order, I guess I'll be looking for some after market steel protection.

Thanks!

Do you get used to the stupid dash display? I’m at 5k miles and thought the bar graph wouldn’t bother me anymore but it still does

You don't need a sasquatch package and sway bar disconnect to leave pavement no matter what you're being told. :LOL: Don't forget a lot of the opinions here are worth exactly what you paid for them!

@Chase Gentry put the right set of tires on his Bronco and doesn't look contained to Trader Joe's parking lots. You'll do just fine with your stock OBX.
I agree 100% BUT if you can afford it and are contemplating it……… DO IT. You will never regret it!! That is a fact.

Love this thread and can't wait to get out there !!! I'm picking my Outer Banks up this afternoon. Interested in which sound package you have and if it's any good with the soft top ? How an overall rating of the 2.3 in combo with the rear locker and 4.27 gears on road and off ? What difference did you see with the tire switch and would you go bigger than the what I think are 33's you have now ?

For some reason clicking on this thread given the 20,000 miles, I expected to read about some guy's long pavement work commutes and such. Instead what a nice surprise, a Bronco in it's element. Nice to hear the 2.3L has held up well so far. We have that same photo by the sign into Ouray, nice area to explore, the "Switzerland Of The Rockies".

No sir my priority is to see exactly what a stock OBX can handle before needing to move up to a Sasquatch or Badlands. If you have any questions I’m doing my best to pick the very best ones to answer in a review video

Great pics, it looks like you had a fantastic time. The pic of you sitting on the edge of a cliff made me a little nervous, and I wasn't even there. :eek: :ROFLMAO:
Lol 😂
