  1. Elboy’s Badlands Build / Adventure Journal

    This is in the FE as well. My wife likes it as a place to put her earbud case or facemask. It doesn't hold a lot, but its nice to put things in there that you don't want to go flying under hard braking/acceleration. I've had things fall (and even fly!) out of that flat cubby just under the...
  2. Did some off-roading today. High centered, and driving through deep crusty snow

    It definitely adds a degree of difficulty to maneuvering in a tight amount of space. After I got it in the garage the first time yesterday, my wife and I shoveled a little in front of the garage door (so it will close properly /not freeze shut) and cleared some of the middle of the alley, so...
  3. Did some off-roading today. High centered, and driving through deep crusty snow

    While not off-road, I got to try my FE out in about a foot of snow that fell in Chicago over the weekend and I was very impressed. Generally, the BS did great even though this was really heavy packing snow. I used the slippery mode pretty much exclusively. The only time I had trouble was...
  4. Headlight Noise?

    I think this is most likely what it is too. There was more discussion about this in another thread here.
  5. Brand new with a question

    I think I know the thumping noise you're talking about, but it's my Edge that does that. And it sounds like it originates from under the car. It almost sounds like something mechanical clanging/moving. The noise the BS is making is different. A low hum coming from under the hood and it is...
  6. Brand new with a question

    This would make sense based on the conditions when I've heard the humming noise.
  7. Brand new with a question

    I definitely noticed a low humming noise before I ever turn the vehicle on as well. I noticed it since the day I brought it home.
  8. remove cross bars

    It's definitely just an allen wrench. The dealer didn't put mine on when it was delivered so I had to go back. I made sure to get the instructions that came with them and the allen wrench needed to take them off. Edit: Now that I look closer, it's actually a star at the ends, not just a...
  9. Carpet Protection Is a Must for me

    Yeah, when the parts dept. said I had to work with the service dept. for a set of floor mats just to pull the rewards points I was like "Wait, you want me to do what now?". Not intuitive whatsoever.
  10. Carpet Protection Is a Must for me

    I had to call the parts/accessories dept. at my dealer to order them, then make a separate call to the service dept. for them to generate a repair order to pull the points from my account (parts dept. told me to do this). There is nowhere that you can redeem them online that I was able to find.
  11. Carpet Protection Is a Must for me

    Correct. My FE came with a rubberized floor, but carpeted mats, which was a bit odd. I swapped them out for rubber mats as well. Really pleased with this all rubber setup now that it's winter. I realize others may prefer the aesthetic of having carpet, but I'm looking forward to the...
  12. Dealer mistakenly sells man a Bronco Sport display model then demands its return

    No. The dealer fucked up. Plain and simple. It just happened to make it into "the news" this time.
  13. Ford Bronco engine review

    Yeah, that was the article I linked....in my 3rd edit
  14. Ford Bronco engine review

    Maybe with the 1.5L --- I haven't driven one so I can't really say, but the 2.0L is not slow at all, especially in sport mode. If you need even more acceleration than the 2.0L offers in a compact SUV, you are probably cross-shopping for something in a completely different price bracket at that...
  15. Dealer mistakenly sells man a Bronco Sport display model then demands its return

    From what I've read, the punishment the dealers get from Ford when they do this (i.e. not allowed to order more cars to sell) is severe enough that the dealers don't care about the blowback from demanding the vehicle be returned. I don't profess to know the exact consequences but it's a major...
  16. Dealer mistakenly sells man a Bronco Sport display model then demands its return

    Yeah, they're very likely in deep ? over this with Ford.
  17. Carpet Protection Is a Must for me

    I got my points within 24 hours or so. That said, I'd had the Ford pass app already for a few months for another vehicle, so I think that might have had something to do with why they showed up so fast.
  18. So any tracking info?

    @Bdub didn't this happen to you too?
