I was driving to work, just minutes away. The morning radio show on KQRS in the Twin Cities (MN) broke from their usual banter and said the WTC was hit by a plane. As soon as I walked in the door at work, I told my co-workers about it. We turned on a TV in the breakroom and watched on the Today...

1971 Ford Pinto Wagon. It had the "big" 2.0L engine with 100HP. 0-60MPH in about 30 seconds with a tail wind, downhill. Paid $1095 for it. Soon after an 1974 Opel Manta Coupe. 1st car I owned and really liked was a 1976 Toyota Celica GT Liftback.

I had my original EFB battery die suddenly in a Target parking lot. If you have not done this recall do it ASAP! When they die they, they die without any warning and you be dead in the water. Luckily I have roadside assistance so I did not pay for tow. But it was a huge inconvenience.

2021 Big Bend, 54K miles, zero issues. Only routine maintenance and recalls done.

New wheels and tires installed today. I was still running the original tires and at 54,000 miles they were not getting the traction that they used to. The original tires were Goodyear Assurance All Seasons 225/60-18's on the optional 18" Big Bend black with machined polished faces. Went to...

They were optional on the Big Bend trim. I have them on my '21 BB.

2010 Triumph Bonneville and 2020 Suzuki V-Strom 650XT

I have averaged 30.5 MPG over the last 8 tanks of fuel on my '21 BB. Always drive in "Normal" mode, mostly highway miles on my commute. It's all dependent on how you drive and the driving conditions. From what I hear on this forum, obtaining above EPA estimated mileage is common wth the 1.5L.

'21 BS BB with 46,000 miles built in 04/21. Original lead acid battery. No issues whatsoever but I will be replacing it with an AGM before winter.

I feel the same way. My '21 BS BB is not having any issues at all. Why get the recall done if I'm not affected. I always disable A.S.S. anyway. On the rare occasion I forget to, it always functions as it should though.

Count me as one of the old codgers... old as dirt basically.:wink:

Padder shifters are mounted on each side behind the steering wheel. One paddle shifts up a gear and one shifts down a gear. Only Bronco Sports with the 2.0L engine get them. (Badlands, Heritage Limited and First Edition)

That has not been MY experience. They never make noise when the brakes are warm and dry. But it obviously is different for some owners. I hope that Ford after 3 plus years and 3 attempts to fix it, finally comes up with a permanent solution. This is simply unacceptable.

The noise will only get louder as time goes by In my experience. I always back into parking spaces if the car will be sitting a long time. It only happens when backing up after the car has been sitting a long time (cold brakes). It also only occurs when it's humid, wet and or cold. Hopefully...
