  2. Key fob battery life

    After 4 years, 9 months, I just received the fob battery warning on the dash. only noticed poor communication a couple days earlier. I'm only driver and I've swapped out a couple times between fobs. man, that battery is huge compared to other wafer batteries!
  3. Sport on a ferry

    Nice. Much more intimate than my Cape May (NJ)—Lewes (DE) ferry crossing a few years ago. 100 vehicles vs your 3. Mine has a lounge area and decks to take in the scenery. Takes about an hour and a half. It’s actually part of a US Route which is a rarity.
  4. Roof rack and box

    I just wanted to share some limitations on a rooftop box from experience. I borrowed a standard size (not low profile) Thule box for a recent ski trip. I had it side-by-side mounted on crossbars with 4 pair ski mount. Great for hauling gear outside the cavity but created some issues. Places we...

    Looking for a set of steelies without or w/ tires and TPMS sensors let me know if you’ve got them.
  6. Installed: Rear Seatback Cargo Bags by XG Cargo (Review)

    Purchased the Rear Seatback Cargo Bag system by XG Cargo for the Bronco Sport. TL;DR (mostly) quality purchase. Lots of great detachable storage. Minor install frustration. Recommended 1 Why? I needed to use my ‘21 purchase Ford points before they expired. Tried to find something that wasn’t...
  7. 2021 Badlands Rear Ended and in Rough Shape - Repairable?!

    I hope this works out for you. Better the rear I had a minor collision with damage to driver’s headlight, front fender and quarter panel denting. Nothing most people would notice. Thankfully no sensors impacted though I had to replace the headlight as it wouldn’t pass inspection. Just the...
  8. Yeti Rambler 26oz

    I have seen some of the black bottles on eBay. I did one of the earlier Off Roadeos and they used to give out white ones. Funny you’ve mentioned about leaving it behind, as I’ve done that more than once. Most remarkably, in CVS after getting a Covid booster. Went back hours later and it was...
  9. FordPass is now the Ford app

    I had also opened it on the phone first, exploring the refresh. Only noticed the hole in my Modular watch face this morning. After multiple restarts and exploring possible avenues to restore did I finally get it back.

  11. FordPass is now the Ford app

    posting the new 6.0 update mostly because it initially broke the link to my Apple Watch app. on watch, the app disappeared from the watch face complication. though it appeared in the app bubble list, at first it said it couldn't find/communicate with phone. then it talked to phone like normal...
  12. Need new tire recommendation ('21 Badlands)

    Commend you on lasting a whole year longer than my '21 Badlands. just about to hit 30K miles, had to replace last year. City and snow driver — up to Quebec and back this winter on snow, mud and gravel — and love the stock Pirelli Scorpions. I priced out the Continental CrossContact LX25 but...
  13. ROAD TRIP: Badlands to the Badlands [Ontario]

    Nicely done. I would like to get out to US Badlands in mine. I’ve never been through there. it is quite the commitment from the east coast
  14. After the battery recall

    Bill - did you get it done elsewhere or at a Ford dealership? I also replaced my '21 AGM battery at my cost last year. As DWG says, service is more important than sales. after disappointment at 2 dealerships, I went for an independent shop. getting it inspected next month at independent and want...
  15. Road Trip Thoughts

    Agree the BS is a great road trip vehicle. I just did a PA to Quebec City via Lake Placid and Montreal in March in my Badlands. Carried 4 people at times. Had a roof clamshell for cargo. Learned the hard way the previous year when one of the guys did a northern trip in an Alfa Stelvio with no...
