TBH, given the great job they’ve done with the new Landcruiser, I kinda expected more. Not bad, but IMO closer to a facelift than a whole new thing.

Would only consider the 2-door big Bronco, but obv haven't done so. The big Bronco seems plagued by a variety of issues, recalls and such, that we were thankfully spared with the Sport. I recognize that the Sport had the advantage of being based off an existing platform, but I was concerned that...

That’s what it looks like to me as well. The significant upgrade seems to be the new tire compound but that doesn’t seem relevant for BS owners.

Have CC2's on my spouse's car for a few seasons (south central Wisconsin), and in the Madison area and surrounds they've proven more than capable in this climate and our specific local conditions. Been very, very, happy with the choice. That said, for our Badlands went with the Falken Wildpeaks...

Ottocast. Works well. ?

That’s neat. My CarPlay adapter just sits in the space next to the wireless charger.

First, thanks Discount Tires for my Falken Wildpeaks, they’re outstanding. But purely a semantic issue, but while they have a 3 peak mountain designation, they’re not considered “winter tires” are they?

I thought I would have regrets not waiting for the "big" Bronco, but the BS has been essentially trouble (and recall) free, while the introduction of the BB has been anything but. It's really a shame as there was unlimited potential in the market for the BB that was essentially wasted momentum.

100%. I have to literally drive past two other Ford dealers to get to the dealer that does my service. It shouldn’t be this way and I def let Ford corporate know!

I had a malfunctioning “module” that by itself caused a myriad of other issues and dash warnings. My service center found it pretty expeditiously (code reader) and replacing that one part resolved the rest. I think I’m this day and age getting to the “root cause” is the key thing, as fixing just...

Did exactly same last week (same size as well, 235s). Very pleased with the ride quality, was worried that they would be louder and rougher than the Pirellis, and that hasn't been the case. Realistically the BS spends a lot more time as a commuter (all weather including the occasional...

The Pirellis came on our ‘21 Badlands and are more than ready for replacement at 33k. Truthfully they did the job, conditions from Colorado Rockies snow to mild trails without issue. Switching to Falkens in a few weeks (235s) in honesty for the looks and presumed improved snow performance, but...

TY, appreciate the insights, and yes, I figured it depended on the placement of the front crossbar, as the fairing mounts there. What I think I'll end up doing is buying the fairing from someplace with a good return policy in case it doesn't work. Thanks again.

I searched and came up with nothing, but would have expected someone by now to have tried this. I have the Yakima aero crossbars and 18 cf Skybox, but on the Yakima site it says "not compatible with panorama roof," which seems a bit odd. Anyone have this and/or alternatives. As the Skybox lives...

Guided my kid in their decision. Modest off-road capabilities and the feeling that Ford put more effort into this versus just changing the body style on an Escape, particularly with the 4WD. Incredibly versatile hauling capabilities (although we also have a skybox). Doesn't need to be babied...
