This is good to know. Thanks!

I installed window tint on my two front windows and ran down my battery. I used my portable charger that Ford sells and connected the neg clamp to the wrong post and it wouldn't charge my battery - panic set in. I moved the negative clamp to neg battery term and still no charge. I pulled out...

You should be driving your better option. Subarus reliability is skewed by the 100k warranty and requires specialized mechanics. Owners dump them at 100k miles. The knobs and controls are annoying and small. The 4 runner should have a curly tail and is dated and boring.

No brainer, choose the one that was built on Wednesday. My current BS is a Wednesday car as well.

I want to new chunky tires for my 23 OB. I also prefer the white letters out. What tires and size for an improved look on pavement all-weather tires. Or am I stuck with boring? And how is the mileage recalibrated - is this done at the dealership service dept?

I genuinely appreciate the knowledge bank so graciously shared by Mark and the other experts. The Bronco Sport is my largest lump some payment and I want to enjoy it while the fear mongers are rattling nonsense.

I agree. I have been tracking my mileage on fuelly. The best I have reported was 27.8 populated by a full tank of 91 100% highway miles on a recent trip to Wala Wala. Hoping for a better result I recorded one tank using eco mode and the outcome was terrible - both mileage and driving.

I'm driving a '23 Outerbanks and I'm getting abysmal mileage 50/50 highway/city my last tank averaged 21.8. I'm disappointed to say the least.

My interest in the BS OB was met with strong opinions steering me to buy a RAV4. Been there done that. I was given my old man's (rip dad) 2007 Rav4 that took its last breath 5 yrs later in my driveway after the tranny blew. But it got me home! Five years earlier I was warned about oil...

Ford uses fine print to instruct owners to find vehicle towing weight on the drivers side door jam. Regardless, I am prioritizing installing the auxillary atf cooler to save my tranny from the rigors of sf bay area commute driving.

It is my understanding the 2.0 BL trans cooler is standard equipment installed by the factory. The tow package is the option.

I bought my '23 OBX w/16.5K miles on 12/24/24 - below shows the service to prep sale. Ist owner female, bought in Santa Barbara, mint condition, ppf, ceramic exterior & interior, nothing aftermarket, original tires. Ownership, location, condition & service history speaks for a commuter car...
