  1. Finally some snow time with my Badlands and I can finally answer for myself, is it any good in the snow?

    The Badlands on the Wildpeaks is a beast. I was impressed last year and even more so this week.
  2. Newbie about to try out 4X4… maybe

    Re: GOAT modes and what to use my wife and I were talking about that this morning as the roads all around us are covered. She’s been driving our Expedition primarily and in that truck you must select something if you want 4x4. You can go to slippery mode or just press the 4A or 4H button...
  3. Newbie about to try out 4X4… maybe

    All wheel drive has advantages in snow, gravel, rain, mud and sand but little advantage on ice. Dont get a false sense of security. Youā€˜ll slide with the rest of them.
  4. How the H*LL did THAT get in there?

    I don’t know. But last year my wifeā€˜s friend had her new Honda Odessey totaled out. There’s literally 100 ways they can end up in the cabin. We had some cats on the ranch and rarely ran into problems.
  5. 2024 - A good year for you and your Bronco Sport

    Well received! Keep it safe and fun out there!
  6. Top Tier: Regular - MidGrade - Premium?

    I played with this last year. 3 tanks of 87 octane avg 23.8 3 tanks of 91 octane avg 25.2 I was not the only driver but drove more than 75% conclusion: A 5.88% increase in mileage is note-able. But I’m paying 16-22% more to get it. No thanks. I might throw on some premium when I race the...
  7. Self enters reverse?

    Better get a bumper sticker then ā€ caution- this vehicle has been known to randomly go into reverse without command ā€œ. seriously - did the backup camera display?
  8. Rear tires slipping in snow/slush

    the vehicle is front wheel drive first. The rears will assist when needed. Are you sure the rear is spinning and not the front? Can you display the intelligent AWD page and see where the power is being distributed?
  9. Self enters reverse?

    Can also happen if you touch your brake pedal My cousin owns several car washes in Missouri and says it happens all the time. people panic pump, forget they are on a conveyor or more typically they press the brake pedal too long to put it in Drive. Did you inadvertently touch the brake pedal...
  10. Minor Peeve W/HVAC Controls

    who’s trolling who you post on an internet forum while not wanting responses. But then offer up a private message option. You obviously need the attention (the basic definition of a troll).
  11. Great headlights on these Sports!

    I too, am pleased. In rural areas, on poorly striped roads and in bad weather - they almost turn night into day. I really didnā€˜t know what I was missing. My 22 Expedition and my 21 Silverado also have LED with a combination of reflector/projector styles. They are both very good. But I...
  12. Moonroof exploded

    ā€œexplosionā€œ ? Aaaanyway …that looks defective. No rock or lightning or thermal shock caused that. Ford should cover. Go to another dealer?
  13. What was your favorite vehicle?

    95 Toyota Land Cruiser. I wish I had a pic Steel Front & rear bumper, 4 inch lift, 35 KO2s on 16 in wheels with 2 inch spacers. Aftermarket skid plates, control arms, radiator, sway bars, snorkel I could go on. Reliability issues forced me to give it up. Bought a house, got married, took a...
  14. Autoweek and Consumer Reports place 2023-24 Bronco Sport in enviable 4th place as most reliable small SUV

    yep . Beat me to it. This article is just a popularity contest. It’s not like I’m triggered over them calling this an SUV. But it is not a SUV at all. It’s a Crossover. It resembles a SUV and it’s quite ā€œtruckyā€œ but when we call it an SUV it will have unmet expectations. At least the...
  15. Complete shut down while driving

    right. If the auto start/stop were deselected, would it happen anyway on the road stopped in traffic? This is the Internet so let me be clear - when the engine stops, so does the alternator which is supplying your primary source of electrical power. My main concern along with everybody else’s...
  16. Complete shut down while driving

    is auto start/stop playing a factor here?
  17. Worse luck with tires.

    if that’s what bad luck is, sign me up TPMS is set to alert at @ 25% loss from factory recommendation PSI. You weren’t quite there yet
  18. Engine noise - any ideas what this could be 😭

    Hey where’d the engine cover go? :bandit::bandit:
  19. Near redline at WOT - highway merge
