We have an AutoWash here in town that I use. Multiple wands for various applications. I use low pressure rinse, then wash, then rinse again. For the lower non painted parts I use their bug/mag away foam (acid free). The final rinse is a spot-less rinse. All soft water. Afterwards, I dry with a...

We had a '08 escape 4wd v6 that I really liked. Looks, power and reasonable gas mileage. Owned it 8 years with no real issues, 95k but we decided in 2018 we needed something with a little more safety options and I liked the looks of the '18 escape so we leased it. I think it was around late...

I'd have to agree, at least for us old, er, older folks! 😀

Congrats on your new BS BB! We're on our 2nd Big Bend. Had a '22, now a '24! Both great!

Hello and welcome to the forum Retired Plow Man!

I personally like the looks of the Bronco and would consider owning one but for three reasons. The 4dr is too big for the garage, too noisy and just too expensive for my budget (price, gas mileage). The 2dr only seats 4 and we need 5, still won't fit the garage and is equally noisy. But...

Tres cool!

The driver and her dog were injured but survived! This happened on a trail on Black Bear Pass in San Miguel County, Colorado. The Bronco Sport is a Big Bend model (look closely at the passenger door, you can see the decal).

Perhaps, based on your logic Mark, my adding few cents more of gas to reach a particular dollar total that I mentioned previously, maybe, just maybe I don't reach the vapor canister. Neither I nor my wife has ever smelled gas in or around the Bronco Sport. Still, I am a bit wary of continuing...

I must agree with DWG as I too came from the "old school" of gas fill up. The diagram shows that the distance from the gas tank to the vapor canister isn't far enough away for even the small amount of additional fuel to avoid getting into it. I have been in the lucky club for years. No more...

Please correct me if I'm wrong but, when I fill up I set the nozzle on hands free so I can wipe the windshield and rear glass. If I'm standing near the fill door I can hear the gas rush up the tube and trip the handle, shutting off the flow. I have a habit (ocd) of rounding up the paid amount...

I don't have a meeses problem, rabbits did get into my sons car and chewed through his Taurus' bundled wiring and he had to replace the whole thing, he wrapped it with duck tape. That and original Irish Spring soap stopped them from coming back. I cut pieces of the soap and placed them all...

I had a similar experience as the op's wife that I related on a previous post. At that time I had a '22 BB and like her situation, only I was the guy in the lane that was merging, next to a small BMW suv. I put her in sport mode before the light turned, and when it did I floored it. I jumped...

The only thing I know that can boost an engine fairly inexpensively to +150 hp is nitrous. Not having direct experience with it, I can't speak knowledgeably enough about it other than I think it requires certain internals that I don't believe the ecoboost engines in the BS have to handle it. I...

Otis Redding!

Sometimes I just like sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time!

I'm of the quarter tank philosophy. I find that when I fill up with the guage marker just above the quarter mark, the gas pump reads 11+ Gallons filled. 16 gallon tank, less 11+ gallons filled means my tank had 5 gallons +or-. I don't know what this means other than perhaps that reserve is in...

I drove a '24 Expedition for 3 weeks and a '24 Escape for 5 days, both have the big infoscreen and touch controls. I personally am not a fan. However, that being said, it's the way of the world of autos. At some point, we'll all have to learn to navigate this technology. Unless we keep our older...

This might not parallel op's query exactly, but I bought a 2022 BB January of that year, it had co-pilot 360 assist+, tow pkg full size spare and area 51 paint. On the monroney, (windows sticker) it listed as standard equipment, fog lights. Well, mine didn't have them. It took about 10 months...

Welcome to the forum, Tom! Nice lookin rig. Cactus gray has always been one of my favorite colors.
