NJ/NY/Delaware/Eastern Pa./MD/Ct Volume Buyers?

[Vigor]

Is anyone considering the “360 Shield Molecular Paint Protection” add on that Brewster is offering for $695? This is the first time I’ve heard of this product and I also can’t find much info/reviews online.

Never heard of it. Not something I'll do. I've purchased stuff like that in the past only to see it not cover anything, so my take it don't bother. But to each his own.

On a side note wondering why my salesman STILL hasn't fixed my order. Everyone else seems to be getting theirs through. This is starting to get a tad annoying.

It depends what you’re going to do with her, if you plan on taking her off road and getting scratches on her, not sure that is covered.
Also I would check the factory warranty on the paint, Ford has a paint protection package for 265 or 295$. You should check the difference between them.
Finally, I would add if you are interested in paint protection (which is totally reasonable) I would take her to a specialized detailer. At least you would be sure they actually know what they’re doing. ?

My 2 scents

So the consensus is, skip the 360shield right?

Should get another 20k or something like that.

From the 12/15/2020 Bronco Timing Update email:

"As a thank‑you for your patience and interest in Bronco, we are adding an additional 20,000 FordPass Rewards Points when you take delivery of your Ford Bronco. That’s 62,000 FordPass Rewards Points (over $300 value) to use toward accessories, maintenance and service at your local Ford Dealer.**"

I was told I had to activate the FordPass app to get my 42k. Wonder if the extra 20k will show up after 180 days?
I'll probably have to bug Brewster

Okay - just took the new Bronco down below DC to see the new grandson - 370 mile trip that I took on 95, so ran in Eco mode and mostly with adaptive cruise doing 65-75 down and a bit slower back in heavy traffic.

Trip computer showed 22.3 but my fill up calculated at just over 22. It’s a Badlands (2.3 AT) so we’ll more than they published!

I posted in the FORScan and Fog light thread, but wanted to share here...some great tips helped me get my BD fogs programmed through the switch I replaced on the Badlands so I did not take up an upfitter for it, and I was also able to kill that annoying 'double-honk' that almost gave me a heart attack this morning when I got out of the Bronco at a Wawa to run in for coffee while I left it running with my wife and son inside (and the fob in my pocket). Man that was loud, but not any more

Well that was about 4 hours ill never get back.

Looking back on it, not as bad as I expected. And not really a straight 4 hours. Learned that a green/white wire is different than a white/green wire. But tow hitch installed and lights were tested.
Even was able to install the 4 new speakers as well. Takes more time pulling panels off interior than doing the work.

You gonna hang your nuts from it ? Or has Ford done that for you.

And here is the post that saved my butt for that stupid horn double honk

Courtesy of @D2dhanover, here is the key to the line you need to change. As shown, make the last digit in that second set of numbers be "0" (off) instead of "1" (enabled). Only change that digit - leave all the "x's" the same as what they were. You will get an error, but the check-sum will resolve itself. But, if you are new to this like I was, read the FORScan thread, follow the links to the videos, and be sure to READ CAREFULLY and follow the instructions to the letter...

Is it really that obnoxious? My Tahoe does that and I don't find it to be that annoying... I also barely ever leave the car running when I'm not in it. I think it also does it when the car isn't running. Which has saved me a few times from leaving the keys in the car by accident.

Does the bronco Auto lock?

True... However, I've come to learn, from this forum, that many Americans are overly sensitive... And love to complain.

So, like, is it really that annoying? Or are people just doing their normal I hate everything routine, Ford sucks, blah blah blah.

You missed "I don't like it - I want to change it - oh wait I easily can't? Jesus Suffering Christ Ford are a bunch of idiots to enforce their 'safety measures' on me..."

Can’t lock your keys in the car. Won’t lock. At least mine won’t. It is very loud and I prefer to not have it happen when I get out to get the mail pulling in my drive late at night and walking the neighbors. Not telling anyone else they have to do it

Oh I wasn't lumping you into that group I mentioned above. I'm just wondering how loud is it really.

In the end it's all subjective I guess is what I was getting at. What's loud to you in your environment might be normal to me in my environment.

I mentioned this in the other thread as well .......

I have fob when I start car. I then put fob in tray in front of center console. Get in, get out, do whatever. When I turn the car off, I grab fob form console and get what I want out of car and then use fob to lock doors. Problem solved. No honk when running and have fob when leaving car for extended time, i.e. being locked.

This is what happens when electronics control everything. you are at the mercy of the person programming it. Unless you take the time and effort required to re-program it to the way you like it. I personally would rather be wheeling it than trying to program it. So I will just use the above method and I should be good.
