  1. Box behind rear view mirror

    What is it? About 3 grand I'd say.
  2. Got window sticker - found incorrect options

    I hope you get this worked out. Regardless of the debate on the Ford Assist+ option here, I recommend you do NOT give up on getting a Bronco Sport with Assist+. If you had adaptive cruise before this is especially true. The lane centering feature is also is amazing.
  3. Ford Bronco Sport Hybrid Prototype Potentially Spotted Testing

    That car weighed 3619 lbs and took off a like a dragster. It was so well designed. Plugin vehicles are years away. They only make sense in CA. They have EV techs at every dealerships and know them inside and out. The batteries degrade. If they say you drive 25 miles o the battery -- that is...
  4. "He Had One Job" (Dealer Prep FAIL)

    I need to make a roadtrip to your garage! My plan is simple.. I have a new plate coming along with a custom bracket. I think I can use a file to elongate the plate hole on the left (to lower the left side).
  5. Ford Bronco Sport Hybrid Prototype Potentially Spotted Testing

    I had the 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid. There was no plug option. I got 38-40 MPG without even trying. No wear on the front disc brakes so no brake dust. It was real nice. The Fusion Hybrid did not look silly either. The [no longer produced] Ford Fusion "Energi" had the plugin. Ford is...
  6. Should I switch to premium fuel?

    Only diff is you pay twice my gas tax. Apparently Missourians are entitled to an annual partial gas tax rebate. I need an accountant to figure it out (must keep all receipts from buying gas and then file with the state).
  7. Should I switch to premium fuel?

    Oh yes. When I slowed down (again into Strong headwind) below 75 it stopped. Does premium have ethanol? I live in a suburb of St Louis (close enough for emission rules). Thank you for the information.
  8. Recall notice: Fuel Delivery Module line may leak

    Bump.. Damn dealers.. one more thing to worry about.. Driving off the lot with a recall affecting safety. This story is about the Ford Escape. All Bronco Sports and Ford Maverick trucks have many (most?) shared parts of the Escape. So, some Bronco Sports may also have an issue with the...
  9. "He Had One Job" (Dealer Prep FAIL)

    I would love to see the title on this bad boy.
  10. My car automatically goes into park!

    Ouch. That press kit is for a Ford Fusion. There are some differences then..
  11. Should I switch to premium fuel?

    What about chemistry..? Is there corn alcohol in "low octane" (and not in "high octane"). If so, does that mean anything? I decided to go all in for Indy 500 weekend and drive to the Speedway on Premium. I filled up in Effingham Illinois for $68. I then spent the night in Terra Haute Super 8...
  12. "He Had One Job" (Dealer Prep FAIL)

    That is a top idea. A metal file and some time with my license plate. Hmm.. Sounds like prison good times.. I am soon getting some custom plates and a custom frame in honor of my favorite TV hero. There will be an update here in a few weeks. There will be victory. A frame with a vertical...
  13. "He Had One Job" (Dealer Prep FAIL)

    Sorry.. I started to post that I was happy with my dealership since they are putting up the cost for the missing items on my Bronco Sport including engine cover, hood protector, and plastic cover under passenger dash. I didn't mean to post the message (too boring). I closed the page.. but it...
  14. "He Had One Job" (Dealer Prep FAIL)

    I got the service manager to comp me a I have s I like that idea... but they would just screw that up I am afraid. It would have to be so easy I could do it. I think a license bracket would probably hide it. The holes in most brackets have some vertical "play".
  15. My car automatically goes into park!

    Return to Park - Added in 2017 models by Ford. (There are 3 use cases for the car to disable. Can you think of them before reading the Ford information below?) This Ford Media release explains what this feature is, how it works, and why it was added. Highlights: According to a National...
  16. "He Had One Job" (Dealer Prep FAIL)

    Front plates were perfect. They had the small white plastic squares trimmed and level.
  17. "He Had One Job" (Dealer Prep FAIL)

    Yeah. I am getting a big bracket to go with my yet to be revealed super plate. The bracket would cover it. I hate to drill two holes..
  18. "He Had One Job" (Dealer Prep FAIL)

    The front plates were factory drilled. The rear ones were not. I "think" the factory always places a subtle guide template where the drill should go.
  19. Was going to trade in my Prius for BSB

    I have been there (selling Honda Insight hybrid.) Thoughts.. My Honda dealer offered me $3000. I laughed. Three non Honda dealers offered me $500 (for parts) Battery is huge issue My wife says "oh the Wilsons next door need a car for their kid.." Nope. I couldn't live with myself if I...
  20. "He Had One Job" (Dealer Prep FAIL)

    Sometimes you can't believe a simple job could be so messed up. Sure I could go to the dealer and ask them to square up my license plate bolts, but I don't think I can trust them.. Any advice? Can the dealer fix this easily? Are we looking at a $5000 new bumper (saw that on another forum)...
