Wanted to downsize from my tuned F-150 - was spending too much on fuel and approaching 25k hard miles.
Saw a fully loaded Big Bend in the rare Smoke Bronze color - made money on the F-150, paid off the BS.
I wanted the 1.5 for mileage and reliability. Since I never used 4WD or the rear locker...
For your own research, let me know if you need any pics, vids. I looked pretty good, there's nothing.
I heard fuel rail mentioned a few times?
and one last thing - how do you turn off the performance killing ads on this site?
I don't have a drain hose on my '22 - what was replaced/upgraded/addressed? I use "injector issue" as a blanket statement. I know it's from a fuel leak - but always understood it happening because of cracked injectors dumping fuel. Thanks for the info.
Port and direct injection are one of the reasons I went with a 1.5.
it’s a really great engine once you get past the early water pump/injector issues,
If you guys push on the rear hatch, just above the bronco logo when all the windows are up, the noise will be recreated. It has something to do with the vents in the rear. Wish I knew a fix.
Have an OEM passenger foot well cover coming, along with redline hood struts.
My BS didn’t come with a power outlet cover (cigarette lighter) for the charging station in the dash, so I bought one for a mustang. Fits perfect!
Will upload some pics soon.
I’m learning to live with it. Test drove a few other vehicle, including a Hornet - which takes the cake as the worst new car I’ve ever driven.
but yeah, these post COVID cars are assembled poorly
