  1. Trailer wiring harness recommendations?

    FYI mine doesn't seem to have any sort of towing mode added. No prompts on the dash or center screen when lights are connected, and nothing feels different while driving.
  2. Trailer wiring harness recommendations?

    The dealer I went to said the same thing, they wouldn't give me an exact quote but said it could take a day or more. I decided to take my chances and thankfully it ended up only being 2 hours labor.
  3. Trailer wiring harness recommendations?

    They charged me $280 total. They tucked the 4-pin connector up against the receiver tube. Not much slack in it though, so I have to use an extension in order for my trailer connector to reach.
  4. Trailer wiring harness recommendations?

    I had mine installed at the dealer last week. The tech said it took a little over 2 hours.
  5. Unofficial MPG thread for the 1.5L

    Averaging 27.8 MPG over 2500 miles according to the dash. Premium gas, 50/50 city/highway. I have seen as high as 31 MPG on the trip computer (I reset Trip 1 after every fill up).
  6. Connecticut WTB: full-size spare tire

    Looking to buy the full-size spare tire that comes with the factory tow package. I am also willing to trade with anyone who wants to swap for theirs for the compact spare and lower load floor. I'm located in Connecticut but willing travel. Thanks,
  7. Adding Tow Hitch

    Thanks, and yeah it’s pretty comparable to OEM. I got it installed at a local indie shop, they charged me .75 hours labor.
  8. Adding Tow Hitch

    Thanks. And yes the exhaust does need to be lowered.
  9. Adding Tow Hitch

    Got the Curt hitch installed today. A few notes: The bumper cutout needed to be much taller than Curt's instructions suggest. The hitch blocks one of the mounting holes for the fabric liners on each side, so you need to finagle them back into place. The access holes are just barely big enough...
  10. Adding Tow Hitch

    My Curt hitch arrived today, ordered it on March 1st. I'll be having it installed next week along with the Ford wiring harness, will post an update after that.
  11. Is Outer Banks beachworthy?

    I’m just sharing my personal experience, they are not great compared to my previous vehicles. If you like the tires then feel free to keep running them.
  12. Is Outer Banks beachworthy?

    Mine is also a Big Bend with the 18” wheels. IMO the Primacy tires are mediocre in the rain, and not good at all in the snow or on dirt roads. I have not tried them on sand.
  13. Is Outer Banks beachworthy?

    Assuming you still have the stock Michelin Primacy A/S tires, you will probably want to swap them out. They're not great on anything other than dry pavement.
  14. 60% of Bronco Sport owners coming from different brands. Are you?

    This is my 1st Ford. My previous 4 vehicles were all Nissans.
  15. White roof wrap.. what do you think about it?

    Not a fan at all, especially with the door handles and C/D pillars. Looks like a porta potty.
  16. Anti sway?

    It's all electronic. The computer will automatically apply the brakes to individual wheels when it detects trailer sway. https://owner.ford.com/support/how-tos/safety/driver-assist-technology/trailers-towing-loading/trailer-sway-control.html#
  17. So what would you change?

    One-touch up and down on driver's window (I've never had a car that didn't have one-touch in both directions, drives me nuts). Shark fin antenna. LED brake/signal/reverse lights. Option for 16" wheels. Wireless Apple CarPlay. Option to disable cornering lights. More towing capacity. These are...
  18. Roll Call

    This pic is on Jericho Road in Haddam. It's part of Cockaponset State Forest.
  19. Roll Call

    CT here. Had it since February and I've only seen one other BS on the road so far.
  20. Trailer wiring harness recommendations?

    Ford has one in the accessory catalog for $110, see part number FT1Z-15A416-A. I picked one up from my local dealer the other day, just waiting for my hitch to come in so I can have them both installed together.
