I only had my '21 Badlands for three years and 24k miles. I thought the quality was excellent. Fit, finish, reliability were excellent on the one I used to have.

Colorados are pretty nice and been out a couple years now so most likely will be a great truck. I sold my special ordered all option '21 Badlands cause wife bitching need bigger SUV for grand child baby seats. Was prob the best new vehicle I had ever owned in terms of quality.

To remove the fill plug I used the flexible head ratchet alone and no other parts were removed. The Ford RDU gear oil part number: XY-75W-QL, Disconnect Rear Drive Unit Fluid, as specified by the official Ford gear oil reference here...

Yeah some ppl on Pilot forum posting up V6 engines spinning bearings in older Pilots and Honda says their VIN is not in the recall and making owners pay for repair. Honda been having automatic trans problems in their bigger SUVs and mini vans for a long while now. Hit or miss some have...

Starting in 2022 Ford started to decontent the sports. Took away rear folding headrest, tool away the beloved engine cover, took away temp read outs on HVAC dials, no panel under glove box, maybe other things I missed. '21 was only year for Badlands Package which was renamed next year. '21...

When I test drove the Pilot I was shocked stunned surprised how nice it was. Cause its rated mid pack by the automotive press. They consider the Pilot average compared to competitors. So was not expecting it to be as nice as it was. From what I saw it was far from average. It felt like a...

A '24 optioned like my '21 had MSRP of 47k. So I think that does help resale value. And still nothing quite like a Badlands Bronco Sport out there still.

I remember when yours got put on ferry to get shipped to island. The early days fun times.

Forgot to mention mine at just under 25k mile still had its original Wildpweak tires tread was still deep. Original wiper blades in great shape. Saw 33 mpg on trips to maryland eastern shore. Was getting 26-28 mpg around town. 2.0 had tremendous power for what it was. No rattles or other...

I tried to trade in. Best dealer could do was 23k which was 4k less then CarMax. So I wasn't able to save on sales tax on new one. But overall my numbers were good so was happy the deal.

It did pretty good yes. Was a really nice little SUV. I had it garage kept it was as perfect as a 3 year old vehicle as could be.

Wife wanted bigger SUV so cleaned up my '21 Badlands and got quote from CarMax on Monday. 24,800 miles, no scratches, no rock chips, original windshield. Interior cleaned up extremely well. $27,000 was what they offered. Found 2025 Honda Pilot Elite wife liked, test drove it, got 5k off...

Hopefully better luck then last dealer who was obviously incompetent which is common with Ford service. But there are some Ford dealers with good service, some, key is to find that exception to the rule. Also Lincoln dealers will do warranty work on Fords so thats an option too.

I changed the RDU gear oil in mine recently as preventative maintenance. 23k miles no off roading. Oil was not low and looked clean and no noise to date. I did verify I have the '21 style vent tube that can be prone to letting dirt water in.

Hopefully you changed the gear oil in the RDU. I did mine recently, wasn't low or dirty at 23k miles, but good preventative maintenance given some have reported failures.

PTU on Badlands is cooled where as 3 cylinder its not. So they aren't the same.

I have Badlands with factory towing package and looks like PTU and trans fluid are integrated together share same fluid via lines that connect PTU and trans.

I bought gear oil with friction modifier already in it

No because I tied up working on my other cars most of the time (6 total) and I only at 23k miles. But when I do I prob just gap to 0.29 or so per Ford specs.
