this is a known issue. Dealer did a pressure test and confirmed it was the water pump, a known defective part. Ford has issued, per the dealer, a "Stop Repairs and Replacements" until further notice. It may be 6 months or more. Advised to check and top off as needed. Average about once every...

No. Loosen your grip on the wheel. Any vehicle will be impacted in severe winds to some extent. This (in my opinion) is. no worse than my '19 wrangler, '20 Ranger or even my F350 dually. Adjust speed accordingly and loosen your grip, don't tense up.

When I bought my OB there was a (big) Bronco Big Bend with MSRP $45k. Whatever the market will bear will drive the cost.

Thanks for all the responses, but after reviewing everything, I'll just use the other truck.

My wife and I want to try this overlanding thing. Will the factory crossbars handle my camper?

I don't know, I may be an outlier here, but I imagine CR reviewers whine a lot and run to the emergency room if they get a blister by accident. But then again, I'm kind of an a$$hole at times:sunglasses:

I use Olympic scoring method when researching a product or service. throw out the high and low scores and look for / graph a common thread. Thewre have been known to be a few a$$holes out there!

IIRC, over a buck more. I'm thinking < $3.40, but I usually don't take notice.

not much to say, ride it out. Currently at $4.59 / gal. It will probably impact out travel plans some with our F350 duallie V10 / truck camper at 6-8 mpg.

My wife's Ecosport does the same thing. Just turned 1700 miles on my OB and hearing that the first few miles of the day. Quite annoying.

:crackup::crackup::crackup:

Everything is labled anymore. I posted a pic of my OB on FB to very positive reviews. But there is always at least 1 a$$hole in the bunch. "Nice Escape, shoulda waited for a Bronco" was his reply. Now, we all know that a response isn't deserved, howver as an Italian descendent from Buffalo NY, I...

Playing with filters.

you're excited about the BS when you've got that other "thing" sitting in your garage? :wink:
