I have to agree with you. The BB was fine as a daily urban assault vehicle. Especially for short hops like carpools, grocery runs, gym etc...Looking forward to reading about your trip to Moab. I need to take advantage of this vehicles capabilities and start getting out and about more...
my older brother had a Diesel Rabbit back in 1980
I had the 2.0 in an escape as a fleet car one year and it never left you wanting for more.
This should be fun
that’s what I prefer. I am looking forward to some seat time.
need to spend a day doing paint correction and ceramic coat as soon as the weather clears up around here.
Well, I did it. After having the recall fixed for the possible cracked injector I traded my big bend for a badlands. The big bend has served me well with no issues.
Truth be told I am not pleased with Fords fix for the injector issue.
Admittedly I have never been happy with the way the 3cyl...
Fighter Jet Grey vs Cactus grey. Both have NE/M7457 as paint code (paint scratch.com). There is a noticeable shade variation when the two are next to each other
Upgraded all 4 speakers in the doors this weekend. Really easy job. Improvement is notable. Went with Focal RCX-165’s.
Much improved mid-bass response and volume is better much cleaner. Still need to consider a proper Amp and a sub, but for now happy.
As much as I want a badlands this big...
Don’t see why they wouldn’t?
Pretty sure the Dealer oil change places stock the Motorcraft Synthetic…I’ve been running Mobil 1 in my 21-Coyote (no infamous tick either) and Amsoil in my 03. Went Mobil 1 in the BS on its second change.
Yet it’s the same engine….
All I am saying is don’t panic.
The oil debate is raised on every forum I’ve ever been on. Brand/Dino vs. Synthetic/ viscosity/change interval….etc…
By all means use what the manufacturer specs in the manual especially when under warranty, but in this case no need...
Well aware of the reason ford specs the 5/50.
Yet on the coyote for the regular use it’s 5/20 and another is 5/30.
Just saying I don’t foresee catastrophic engine failure out of one oil change. Maybe if you choose to run the lesser grade long term.
They have a remedy because the shop made...
Since they made a mistake go ahead and have them rectify it.
I would not be too stressed about it though. I have a 20 year old 4.6 in a Mach1 (10:1 compression) that ford specified 5w-20 that I have been running 5-30 in for the majority of the cars life. My 21 Coyote has a 5w-30 (12:1...
1.5 and only @ 2k on the vehicle so far. I’ve seen upper 20’s regularly. Only a tank or so below 20. That included a lot of short hops and some idling. Pleased with it so far
The wireless charging pad works well but I don’t use it much because my phone is always plugged in so I can use Car Play. I do wish the pad would work with my Apple Watch but it doesn’t. That would be nice if it could.
I think this topic might be better placed under the heading of “first world problems.” Have had my big bend since December. Needed a vehicle with a little more room than my Mustangs. I’ve always liked the escape, but the Bronco Sport just looks 10x better. It is a terrific Urban Assault...
