  1. Adios!

    Solved my seat problem. Loved my 21 BB around town but couldn’t stand those rock hard seats after 2 hours on the road even after installing seat jackers and trying seat pads. Solved it by trading in for a 22 GMC Terrain SLT AWD with similar miles.last week. Doesn’t have the same outdoorsy...
  2. Seat Jacker question

    Just added a set to my BB drivers seat. Definitely makes a difference in the feel of the seat by raising the front 3/4”. Now feels more like a bucket seat than a flat bench. The true test for me wil be a drive exceeding 2 hours which is the point at which I start to suffer really uncomfortable...
  3. Defective Battery, Recall 24S24 and other topics

    2021 BB bought 4/30/2021. recall done 1 wk ago, driven about 400 miles and parked this past Monday. Two days later (yesterday) I get this message from Ford: Restarted with no problem. Not sure what to think of this. Is the gizmo too sensitive now or is this an early warning or what?
  4. With all the threads on negative Ford service...

    My 2021 BB is my first new car purchase since 1976 so I haven't been in the dealer service mode. In fact I skip right by the dealer and go to the independent shop I've dealt with for 25 years for all my cars. However, in the past 6 months I've had three dealer service experiences at Jim Ellis...
  5. Handy step

    I ran across the attached folding step at Harbor Freight as a bonus coupon. The BS is rather tall and with any kind of rack really requires some sort of booster to work around the roof. I use a light step ladder at home but really need something when on the road. This item is 8 1/2” tall, rated...
  6. Rubik’s cube jack!

    Doing a tire change on a riding mower, I reached for the jack in my BB. Easy enough to find the scissors jack under the mini spare but where in the world is the jack handle? I searched all over the vehicle before turning to the manual. It became fairly obvious that Ford didn’t really expect...
  7. Aftermarket reverse sensors

    Yes, but drilling was very simple and I could be wrong but I believe it was only through plastic, not metal. The real key is the Uhaul video so you see how to disassemble the interior trim to feed the wire to the tail light.
  8. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

    I too have triggered the warning screen a few times but never had any sense of braking. I thought that just like I have a backup camera but no audible warning as I get close, perhaps I have a warning screen but no braking? I wonder about the car ad that has the car suddenly stopping for an...
  9. New York Privacy Tents

    Look closely and I believe you’ll see loops for tent pegs.
  10. New York Privacy Tents

    I’ll buy one shipped.
  11. Aftermarket reverse sensors

    As an alternative, bought this for both 21 BB and 04 Solara. Very happy with results for 2 and 3 years. Connects to reverse light in tail light and U-haul video on BS hitch install is very handy to see how to route wires...
  12. Ford eliminating AM radio

    Reminds me of when I test drove a BS the first time and asked the sales girl where the slot for the cd player was. That was the first I had heard that cd players were long passe. Perfectly happy now with Sirius and Carplay and frankly wouldn’t miss am or fm. Damn glad I’ve got an engine cover...
  13. Bronco Sport owners waving

    When first bought my BB 4/30/2021 I could go days without seeing another. Kinda had a natural urge to acknowledge a fellow BS when you spotted one. Recently had pizza outdoors with the kids and I was amazed at the number of Broncos and Sports that passed by. The notion of something unique is...
  14. Canadian cars being sold in USA. Warrantee?

    Just a cautionary thought, my son bought a late model 2500 GMC pickup from a contractor a few years ago and traded it last year. He got absolutely hammered on the trade because the vin check showed it to be a Canadian car. Reminded me of the 80s when a lot of used Mercedes were brought in from...
