Just replaced first set of tires at 54k miles. Wanted to share my thoughts in case it helped someone. I have badlands with optional wheels and larger 235/65r17. I was immensely pleased with original tire in longevity, noise, capabilities so wanted to stay with Falken. Options were: A) Falken...

Exactly the same symptoms. Just began today, 2021 BS BL with 55k miles. I'm also curious if anyone else has had dealer diagnose. I'm out of warranty now.

Hi Ryan. As someone who lives in PNW and owns both a Badlands Bronco sport and Ranger Raptor, I’m enjoying your latest DSTV test cars!

What specifically did you do that actually fixed the issue? I'm also in the camp of TSB completed but noise returned even louder.

Sounds like we're in near identical situations. Curious to hear your updates

FYI i just had this TSB done 2 weeks ago on my 2021 badlands. Unfortunately it didn't solve it, still moans like a whale in reverse after sitting for awhile when it's wet or cold (aka 9 months of the year here in seattle). It's at 25k miles, and done it since day 1.

I got the TSB done a couple weeks ago, as I've had this rear back up noise in wet/cold conditions since the day it was new (dec 2020 built badlands). HOWEVER, the noise is still there, arguably worse to be honest. They replaced the rear caliper bushings (from TSB) after a month wait to get the...

I would order the full size bronco asap if available as electric or hybrid. We would keep the BS as well, we love it.

With my '21 Badlands: 2009 Mustang Bullitt, Dark Highland Green 2009 Fusion

Looks like it's $462 at my local dealer to buy an OEM leather wrapped (non-heated) steering wheel. In the case I wanted to update my badlands with plastic wheel in the future. 1 hour labor guess so call it 700 all-in with tax installed.

I'm at 20k miles in '21 BL without premium pkg and would do the same again. Very impressed by the heated cloth seats, held up great so far. The ONLY reason i'd consider paying the extra in retrospect would be to get the leather wrapped steering wheel (don't care if it's heated). Plastic wheel...

Great shots, thanks for sharing! My badlands was delivered in January, around 12k miles now, no issues at all.

any new pics with the KO2s?

welcome!

WA state twin! haha Do you like that radbike? Here's mine (bought in Jan '21, over 10k miles now)
