There is still a big attraction for a lot of people to wander a lot full of cars and get one without having to wait weeks or months for it to be built. I think we’re a long way from that changing.

The dealer where I bought both of my Bronco Sports has had a markup of at least $5,000 on all of theirs. When I had to replace my totaled 2021, I placed an order for a 2022 and was told it would be MSRP; when I picked it up, the salesman said, “Wow, you got a great deal” like I’d done something...

When I got my first oil change, I asked about this noise and got a runaround explanation that it was normal buildup being knocked off and nothing could be done. So if I go in now with this TSB number, can I expect they might do something about it? My first BS didn’t have this problem, but the...

I had rapid red for my 2021 Badlands that got totaled five months after I bought it. I sure do miss that color, though I’m OK with the hot pepper red. It’s just a shame they retired rapid red after only one MY.

When I took my 2022 Badlands in for the 10,000 mile service, I mentioned the groaning noise from the brakes and they gave me some explanation about it just being buildup getting knocked off and it’s normal. If that’s true, I could live with it (and ignore the stares of concern from others), but...

Well, that's an entirely different thing. I had a very minor incident (just barely over the $1,000 threshold, though I question that since I saw zero damage on the other vehicle) about six years ago, and my rates went up 30% for three years as a result of losing my good driver discount since it...

Good point — my BS was totaled for $38,000, plus taxes and fees, because the value had gone up since I bought it. So I was basically able to order a new 2022 without losing very much at all.

My BS is almost six months old (officially lasted longer than my wrecked 2021, yay), and I got a policy renewal notice from State Farm with this note about a rate increase: I did the math and it seems to be about a $46 a year increase, so it’s relatively small, but it does intrigue me. So are...

Oh, I meant the hood deflector goo. The side moldings didn't seem to have the same kind of treatment.

My brother attached it for me. I wasn't there when he did it, but it sounded pretty easy. It's a little drastic because apparently the goo that you treat the hood with to make it stick melts the paint. So there ain't no turning back once you put it on ...

Like on top of the spare tire? Is there enough clearance for that?

Companies would not offer these plans unless they were able to make money on them, so overall, consumers are not getting value from it. It's like a casino -- the house is going to win over the long haul, so you're just playing unfavorable odds. However, if the cost is something you can afford...

My 2021 didn't have the hood shake, but my 2022 sure does. I have to force myself not to look at it or it really bothers me. I was hoping adjusting the bumpers might be the magic fix and then I could try it. I'm considering getting the redline struts -- wonder if that would make a difference. I...

I got an email that they're doing an all-women's Off Roadeo in Texas -- wonder if they'll have bathroom accommodations for that one ;-)

Finally got the hood deflector and door moldings attached -- originally bought for my 2021 that got totaled in September before I could put on the accessories, now added to my 2022. I really, really like how the door moldings contrast with the hot pepper red color. I dearly miss the rapid red...

I have both a Series 2 and a Series 6 and they are GPS only, no cellular (both aluminum cases). The stainless steel and titanium models are only available with the cellular hardware built in, but you can still use them with just GPS without having to have a cellular plan. It'll just use the...

I adored my 2021 beyond reason and cried for two weeks straight when an idiot started a four-car freeway crash and totaled mine five months after I got it. I couldn’t find a replacement anywhere in the country, so I ordered a 2022 instead. The thing I actually miss the most between the model...

I have the Badlands premium package on my ‘22 and it has all those holes still.

Thanks for the writeup! I finally got my purchase verified by the Off Roadeo folks and now I need to find a weekend I can take off work to book the trip (yes, I'm a weirdo who works weekends). I can't wait to get to do this.

I had a '21 and now have a '22, but the only thing I would have noticed without reading the forums is the lack of folding headrests. Now that I KNOW the temperature readings are missing from the dials, it bugs me a lot :p FWIW, I have the button to pop the tailgate on my '22.
