  1. Bronco Sport 2.0L gets ECU flash tune by Vivid Racing ["VR Tuned ECU Flash"]

    that's a loaded question because in reality it depends on so many factors that no two answers are the same, it will heavily depend on which dealer you use, some are mod friendly and others take the corporate route of denying any claims if there is any sort of aftermarket tinkering. Anyways yes...
  2. Ford allowing mannequins to be sold

    Yep they added heated seats, parking sensors, wireless charger, wheels,a lift, a few badges and tacked on a ridiculous price for a base model and are trying to sell that to the average consumer. What they are offering is basically what you would get on a badlands model, don't get me wrong there...
  3. Headlight Issue

    I remember a few years ago when I got my first vehicle with adaptive headlights package, I went to the dealer complaining that there was something wrong with my fog lights that whenever I turned the wheel one would shut off, the service agent was very rude and condescending and just said you...
  4. Ford allowing mannequins to be sold

    they used a stock badland picture but I have seen them in person........ they are base. https://www.autonationfordwhitebearlake.net/vehicle-details/2021-ford-bronco-sport-base-white-bear-lake-mn-id-3fmcr9a61mra09494
  5. Ford allowing mannequins to be sold

    they are all base that they modified to be "better than badlands"
  6. Ford allowing mannequins to be sold

    As they say, a picture says more than 1000 words and I am sure they will sell, just not to me.
  7. Ford allowing mannequins to be sold

    I stopped by a local dealer to check out a BB they have in the lot which just came for sale with 64XX miles and want full MSRP plus some upgrade that they decided to do. Lets just say they have a couple of BASE broncos for north of $40kafter their "upgrades".
  8. Shorter Antenna

    does the shark fin antenna has anything to do with the cell connectivity for remote start and the like ?
  9. Premium fuel?

    that would be what's expected on NA engine it just runs poorly, on turbo engines knock forces the engine to go lean and that is very bad for high compression, they tend to go boom. The computer is supposed to compensate by "detuning it" but it catches up to you eventually. Remember this, no...
  10. Any broken headlights/lenses yet?

    I don't want to jinx it but I am super surprised and awed that there aren't a plethora of complaints or issues coming up specially with this being a 1st-year 1st batch release of a totally "new" vehicle. This has been the smoothest release of a new vehicle that I have seen so far, the only real...
  11. Any Broncos in Minnesota?

    Howdy I am in the Dellwood/Mahtomedi area and also still waiting for my bronco, not expecting it until June.
  12. Premium fuel?

    This is why I didn't want to get into what car or engine it was because someone with very little experience/knowledge of boosted engines would make an asinine comment like that, the same result has happened to the 1.3l the 1.5, the 2.3 and 2.7, a picture of the 5.2l was what I had on hand...
  13. Premium fuel?

    The picture that I posted is from 5.2l V8 supercharged,it was something that I had on hand and showed what "COULD" happen, what matter is that a boosted engine running lean is bad and if you create the conditions for the engine to go lean there is an extremely high chance that you will get a...
  14. Premium fuel?

    It was a boosted aluminum head engine, what brand it was is irrelevant since I am sure we can find a failure like this for every brand that is boosted. although the tech couldn't say that "regular" did this, he did say it definitely made things worse. there was detonation in the engine due to...
