  1. Advice needed BB or OBX? Long post

    Count me in the camp of get the new BB. In my opinion 2 owners in a short time is a red flag. If it was a BL with a 2.0 that might sway me. But getting a loaded BB with a full warranty and the peace of mind that comes from knowing you are the only one who has cared for it means the world to me...
  2. If you could choose a new option/color...

    I would like a Black Appearance Package, like they have for F-150s. I think the Sport's color options are pretty diverse, but it would help if they allowed for different packages such as the BAP to provide some contrast. I could see a BAP with black wheels, black lettering and a shadow black...
  3. Rank Stock Wheels on Bronco Sport

    Before picking up my BB, I wasn't very impressed with photos of the BB stock 17" wheels. However, after getting the BB and seeing that CG wheels on the Iconic Silver, I actually really liked them. It kinda made me wonder what everyone else's thoughts were about the various wheel options on the...

    Made it home with the Silver BB! Drive from Granger to Dallas was pretty easy. Hit a bad headwind through Missouri, but that ended and the BS mpg went up. I was only averaging about 25 mpg through Joplin and I was up to 29.3 by the end. I was at Granger for about 20 minutes.
  5. BFG Trail-Terrain TA?

    Man, there are all kinds of reports as to the weight of these tires. DT reports the 235/65/17 as 30.97 lbs. TireSize.com says 36 lbs. BFG's own site has the 235/65/17 in two different ratings 104H and 108T (XL). Honestly, I didn't know about the 104H (presumably SL) tire, but that is listed at...
  6. Cross-Country Trip MPG With Badlands 2.0L Engine

    BTW: the color combination you have with the Velocity Blue and CG roof may be my favorite combo. Just love it.
  7. Cross-Country Trip MPG With Badlands 2.0L Engine

    I just drove from Anaheim to Dallas about 8 days before you took this journey. I can attest that the Western US in Spring has tremendous wind out of the west that easily gives you a 3-4 mpg bump. I know this because I got about 6 mpg worse driving from Dallas to Anaheim 6 days prior going...
  8. Tire Comparison

    I run KO2s on my F150 and I love them. I just ordered the 235/65/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W for my BSBB because of the weight of the KO2s. The 235 Falkens only weigh 31 lbs. The 245 KO2s weight 44 lbs. Pretty big difference. I would say that the 235 Falkens are not as aggressive as the BFG because...

    So I'm set to fly up to Des Moines on Friday morning. Shelby told me that I should be on the road within 15-30 minutes back to Dallas. Already set my appointment at Discount Tire to get the worthless Contis taken off and replaced with Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws Saturday morning - gonna put the trip...
  10. Granger Order

    Shelby has been great on the business side and the deal is done. Due to my schedule, April 7th is the delivery day and I will sign the paperwork electronically on the 3rd so my payment won't be due a week after I pick it up. Literally the easiest thing ever.

    Well, the Sport has arrived at Granger! The arrival window was 3/15 to 3/23 and it got there on the 15th. Another advantage I noticed for going with Granger when you live in the South: you get a free PTC heater on your Sport. They don't install those on Sports with destinations in warmer...
  12. Granger Order

    Since I ordered a short time ago, multiple MY 22s have been reduced to a price that would have kept me local. I based my Granger order on the climate that has been present for the past 2 years, where dealers like Granger that offer below invoice on orders were saving folks thousands. The...

    Started the online paperwork this morning! Looking forward to the trip.
  14. RIP MPG - 1.5L Cross-Country Trip W/ Roof Basket

    In my experience that is going to be a huge factor. Especially in the Spring.

    Well, it appears that Hermosillo is trucking right along. Changed to "shipped" today, still showing arrival at Granger between 3/15 and 3/21. This is way faster than I expected.
  16. Painted Roof OB Badlands

    Went on the Build and Price, and it doesn't look like it has changed other than you can get the body color option along with black and CG
  17. Granger Order

    My BB was moved to "Built" today. Claims that the arrival window at Granger is March 15-March 21st, which sounds insane. If that's true, they are basically building BBs from order to delivery in 10 weeks. Now, I have seen the torment that comes with the shipping issues, I know what might lurk...
  18. Painted Roof OB Badlands

    If it becomes an option, I wonder if they will allow BB to be built with a black or CG roof
  19. Installed Nomad Nitto Grapplers 235/60/18

    Looking good. Love the sidewall. Can't wait to hear how it performs!
  20. Granger Order

    I got moved to "In Production" on 2/16 and the window sticker has populated. Looks like the folks that ordered at the turn of the year are getting built on time.
