  1. Stay Away from Koons Ford Falls Church, VA

    You dodged a bullet here. I bought my 2016 Fusion Hybrid from them and regretted it straight away. Not only did I not get as good of a price as they indicated (mud on my face for not doing more research), they gave no bits about me once I left the showroom. Service was habitually poor and...
  2. Feedback request for A/Ts for Big Bend....

    Right you are. Had it flipped in my mind because, well, simple math is my kryptonite.
  3. Feedback request for A/Ts for Big Bend....

    Glad you asked, I forgot to mention that part I was concerned about too much fussing as a result of the new skids. (Do people even call totes skids? They should.). Was driving through a 45 MPH construction zone on the highway and they had one of those roadside boards clocking your speed. I came...

    So jealous of your real mountains in the other Washington. Love the look, too.
  5. Feedback request for A/Ts for Big Bend....

    Thanks everyone for all of the input. Happy to report that I went with the 235 Wildpeaks from - of all places - Amazon cause I couldn't pass up the $154/tire price. Bizarrely, they qualified for Prime delivery. Loaded them up and went to a local tire shop for a $20/tire install. Turns out...
  6. Tire Decisions 235s vs 245s

    I got the 235 Wildpeaks on my BB installed last week (only $154/tire on Amazon!) and looooove them. Took it camping on a friend's farm this weekend (grass and dirt) and felt a bit grippier than the stock Continentals did. Only a 1 MPG dip on the highway, probably a 1.5 dip in city. However...
  7. Oh the humanity!

    How did you initiate that conversation and are you justifying it via the standard warranty? Seems like a lotta dealers would activate Squirrel Mode on helping to resolve these things. #teachme
  8. Well that's depressing. Seat torn

    Extra-silver lining: now I know what the foam underneath looks like. :thumbsup:
  9. Loving the meaner look....forget the protection.

    Nice. Can you snap a pic from the driver’s seat? I love the look of the hood from the inside so curious how this affects it.
  10. Feedback request for A/Ts for Big Bend....

    Extremely helpful, thanks. Sounds like that'd be 0.5-1.5 ding in mph on the speedometer. Is that even worth recalibrating the speedometer for? Will it affect the odometer at all? They do look freaking sweet and raw without getting too far into "look at my rubber testosterone" territory...
  11. Feedback request for A/Ts for Big Bend....

    Glad they're working out. How audible are they on the highway?
  12. Feedback request for A/Ts for Big Bend....

    Hey everyone everywhere. Looking to upgrade to some A/Ts on the Big Bend. Primary goals are: Tires that actually look like they belong on the Baby Bronco; the factory tires are boring and dull and uninspiring. Enough meat on the tread so that every other month I can roll over medium-rough...
  13. Bronco Sport with package including moonroof: tragedy and triumph

    Swap the color and this is my exact buying experience in mid June. Told myself I was gonna OB but a BB in the next town was the only moonroof available within in 200 miles. The dealer knew it and my over MSRP was over. Le sigh. 4,000 miles later, happy with the color, the trim level, the...
  14. Unofficial MPG thread for the 1.5L

    Got 28.4 while breaking in the engine on a 3K mile road trip of 80/20 highway to city, with four miles of blue rated trail thrown in for good measure. Following the trip it’s gone down quite a bit. Eco makes bit of a positive difference, but woof, dense city (home is Washington, DC) sure...
  15. Not seeing much action in the Mid-Atlantic forum

    So nice. What tires are those?
  16. Brake Squeak

    3,500 miles on my Big Bend and haven't notice much with windows up (it's been a summer) but noticing some semi-frequent squeaking when the windows are down. It seeeeeeems to happen more when I've driveway washed the fella, so low key brake rust maybe? And of course, crunchy and sticky brakes...
  17. Has anyone kept stock rims but upgraded tires?

    Mostly new to the tire conversation and looking to swap out the stock Continentals with something that'll get me the same MPG but more confidence on a trail 4 times a year. What would you describe as the typical drawbacks of AT tires?
  18. Post the best photos you've got of your Bronco Sport

    I wasn't sure about the red from the website samples, but seeing it in the wild it's ?. And the more I see other BBs I'm glad I resisted the temptation of OB. The colored roofs are just too classic looking to pass up for leather seats.
  19. Bronco Sport meet up

    Count me interested. Thanks for starting the thread!
  20. 1,400km Camping Trip Review in Bronco Sport Base
