The Badlands isn't an ugly badge, you just got the wrong color truck! :crackup::cool:! It's the blue oval on the rear that is out of place!

I guess someone has to be "that guy" and so I guess it's me, but, does anyone read the owner manual? Despite the manual's warnings, I also prefer a lower sensitivity setting for this. Typically the warning goes off when someone turns in front of me or encroaches from the side. I think the...

At first I was like "where are all the knobs at!?" then I realized that's a '25, heh. The sample logo might look better if it was printed reversed so the bed pebbling was up. If you want to use it for anything, it can probably place over on the passenger dash near the debossed BRONCO letters...

Couple points from that image of your O.M. that don't apply to OP since they have the 1.5. 5-30 is the typical oil for your engine. Just as marked on the cap. 0-30 (not 0-20) is specified if you run the car in environments under -20F. The two numbers on oil represent viscosity at start and at...

The first gen Sports ('21-'24) got a mid-build change and the regular oil pan was replaced with a plastic pan. The plastic pan engines have a higher capacity. To compound the issue, I think some early versions of the manuals stated the wrong capacity. As said previously, the 2025 engine is a...

Hey, not built on a Friday!

There's a way to add the HVAC to the 8" Sync 3 screen. A couple members have done it. If the upgrade cannot accept updates, does that also mean the navigation maps are locked? Or would updatable maps become a thing? Because Ford reneged on the 5-year-map deal we made when I bought the car and...

My local dealer refuses to do software repairs and updates with the Ford "mobile service" option just because of this. I found that out on the battery recall, they would not bring a battery to me because the car also needed software programming. While to me, if the car was "bricked" I would...

I'm not concerned with the amount of coolant I've added. As someone else did the math, it equates to about 0.5-0.6 cups over a year. The coolant on this system is for the engine, the RDU and the oil cooler. It isn't automatically a head issue. That is a lot of piping and joints. I don't have...

If the system senses a drain, it will leave the port active for a while longer than without. It will eventually shut off.

It might be interesting to see coolant use. I bought a jug of Motorcraft Yellow coolant at a stealership waay back when. If I see the recovery jug get below the seam, I top it off to the max line. This is how much my engine has lost/consumed over the years. The jug is a gallon, but the embossed...

I did the change today. I'm still sore from trying to twist the stupid filter off. I don't have a cap wrench and I should really just go get one. No room for a regular filter wrench to operate. I finally got it with the strap wrench. Some oil slopped out of the cup on the Oil Udder while...

I agree with you over all. But the car does one additional thing. As an added feature of the "Auto" headlamps, when you flip on the wipers, after about 30 seconds or so, the car will change the lamps from DRL to "on" so the driver isn't driving around in the rain without lights. This is an often...

Accurate. This is the only option Badlands doesn't have other than lighted cupholders, which all the trims lost pretty quickly. It was never an option for USA Badlands builds.

+1 for Schumacher. A lot of brands have sold their name and slapped it on some garbage products. IDK who actually holds the name, but the Schumacher equipment is good. I have one like this. It works as both a charger and tender on both LA and AGM batteries and the output is high enough to handle...
