The Big Bend has finally arrived! Took it out for quick run around the block today. Have the front windows tinted to match the rear ones and can pick it up tomorrow afternoon. Can't wait!!

If you have Advanced 4x4, test it right away to make sure it behaves as expected. Mine and others did not. Mine required, brand new and right out of the gate, a new transfer case.

Just put it into 4A and go through the parking lot making hard turns and U turns. The transfer case should NOT engage the front wheels. If it does, you will notice the shuddering as the driveline winds up and the tires are all trying to slip on that nice dry firm pavement. If it does all that in 4A, you have a problem.

And you'll know 100% you have a problem if you put it into 2H and the shuddering goes away.

I just got mine back with this repair this past Friday.

Big Bend usually only has 4A with Sasquatch. Seems like this particular one does not have Sasquatch?

Canada, so I have no idea how their equipment mix goes.

No this one just has the mid package as it was order by my dealer. I' m good with what it has as it is only a 2 year lease. Might step up next time.

But does it have Advanced 4x4? Here, in '23, my non-SAS OBX got it.

Two weeks in, and you know that car payment I didn't have to make this month because of the trade-in? Yeah, about that...
