I have a '23 OBX. I get at least 25mpg in the city and have gotten up to 36mpg on the interstate. That's in normal driving mode not eco. I'm 81 and drive like it but 13 to 15 tells me you have a definite problem. Get it checked out.

I just put Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires on my wife's Ecosport. Very happy with them, and I will be putting them on my '23 OBX before fall.

I think you have a typo. The Outer Banks does NOT have a front camera. I agree though I wish it did.

I have a file folder in my cabinet for each of my vehicles. Right on the front of the folder, I drew up a form that lists any service I do with the date and mileage. It includes oil & filter changes, but also other things like tire rotation, new wipers or air filter, factory recalls, state...

My OBX is a little bit low on brake fluid. All I have at home is Dot 3, and Dot 5 brake fluid. Can either one of these be used in my OBX?

Don't forget the increased mileage with the 1.5.

I just put Michelin Cross Climate 2's on my wife's Ecosport. I really like the looks of them and am considering them for my Outer Banks. Are you happy with the performance and handling of them on your BS BB?

I currently have a '23 OBX with the 1.5 engine. I haven't had any problems and the mileage is great. I'm thinking about trading for a newer OBX. What is the big difference between my '23 engine and the newer one. What are the pros and cons of upgrading to the new motor?

All this talk about getting stuck is well and good. To me the biggest advantage of good Snow tires is better handling and braking with them in the snow. If you get stuck, you can always get pulled out. If you lose control or can't stop the results could be far worse. I have 4 conventional tires...

Ditto for me!

Check out this video. I will fabricate these wood blocks to prevent slipping. Problem solved. Hydraulic car ramp with low car on gravel!

I stand corrected. I don't know why I thought they are American made. I already have them ordered from Amazon, so I'll keep them. They will work fine for my garden tractor, snow blower, and pressure washer. I didn't realize those jack stands you suggested went so high. I'm 80 years old and have...

Sajohnson Thanks for your response. Those jack stands are pretty cool but don't raise the car high enough for my purposes. The ramps I'm buying are not the ones in the video. The ones I am buying are made in America not China. I think that speaks for itself. Also, as I said...

I have a '23 OBX that's cactus gray with a black roof. I wish I could have gotten a black vinyl roof instead of the shiny black painted one.

Thanks for that video. Very eye opening. These ramps cost more than the ones shown and may be heavier material. I'm going to buy these ramps anyway. They will work great to get my snow thrower, garden tractor, and even my pressure washer up in the air where they will be easier to work on. At 80...

I think these are the answer. I can also use them for my snow thrower and John Deere Garden tractor. Amazon.com: LARBANKE 2 Pack Car Ramps,5T 11000lbs Steel Automotive Hydraulic Car Ramps,Garage Car Lift Hydraulic Ramps with Night Warning Reflective Stickers,Home Garage Auto Oil Changes Lift...

I've been a mechanic all my life and have always done the oil changes on all my cars. Now that I'm 80 years old, and have a bigger tummy, I'm having problems. I have a really nice set of Rhino ramps that I use. The problem is they only lift the wheels 7" off the ground. It's getting harder to...

Thinking of putting either Goodyear Assurance Weather ready 2 or Michelin Cross climate 2 tires on my '23 Outer Banks. Let us know how they work out for you.

Here are my 2 main rides. My '23 OBX and my '23 Kymco People S 150ABS scooter.

I wired up my '23 OBX. I tapped into the right footwell ambient lights. If you check through this forum, you'll find a really good thread with pictures and all.
