I don't think anybody will think a thing about it unless you point it out to them. The outside will look sharp. The inside will look sharp, and nobody is likely to pause to count how many colors are in play.

I will be paying x-plan pricing, which is something under MSRP, plus another $1,000 rebate from having ordered before 4/4. If I was on the fence with following through with the purchase, Ford made it real easy by increasing the cost of a Badlands by another couple thousand above what I'll be...

You got that right. Long ago, I worked at a country club in Tucson, AZ. One of the members owned a dealership. I heard him telling this story to another member: He noticed a car that had come in for service, that had been sold by a dealership on the other side of town. The guy that owned the...

Beautiful BS!

I had Hondas for years, starting back in the 1980s and most recently with a 2018 Honda Odyssey we had until recently. Throughout those years, I enjoyed all of them, and loved the peace of mind knowing what quality cars they were. Everybody always talked about how great they were. They were...

I recall when 4 cylinders in pickups were relatively new, and people expressed the same concern about longevity as you are questioning here regarding the 3 cylinders. Turned out ok for 4 cylinders...I suspect it'll prove the same for these 3 cylinders.

Any concerns about that deflector doing as much damage as what it's intended to prevent? I never had success with things like that, or soft bras, or drop-in truck bedliners.

It simply means, "stay in your lane"

no doc fees? I've never seen a dealership wave doc fees.

As for Item 1 - you are placing an order, not signing a purchase contract. That happens when your car arrives. That paper is what you are ordering, and the price you're ordering it at. It is the most you will pay, and you COULD pay less. You won't necessarily want to haggle on price when...

Run away. You are placing an order. You can order it exactly how you want from the factory, but the dealer claims that you have no choice as to what they add onto the car once the car you ORDERED shows up on their lot? That is completely unreasonable.

Unfortunately, decades of shady car sales people have created a justified mistrust. It's really too bad. There are some good ones out there! I hope you find one that you can trust. The more knowledgeable you are, the more the BS stops, so good job coming here asking questions.

I used to live in AZ and bought several cars there. That Desert Protection Package is one they all try to add on. They'll tell you that AZ is an extremely harsh environment for cars and you need it. It is 100% optional, and I've never bought it. I even had a dealer tell me that it was...

I've had extended warranties in the past, and never regretted it. I only go with the Manufacturer's own warranty, never a 3rd party warranty. I've seen 3rd party companies go under and disappear, and leave warranty holders with worthless paper. The manufacturer isn't going anywhere. But I've...

You know - with some exceptions, marketers largely ignore you after you turn 50. Yeah - sure - there are certainly somethings that target you whatever age you are, but the majority of mass marketing is laser focused at people from early 20's to about age 50. After that, most marketers figure...

There is definitely truth in that cars are marketed very carefully for the image the manufacturer wants to create. Sometimes I care about that image, and sometimes I don't. Most of the time, I care more when it's an image I hate than when it's one I'm neutral, ambivalent, or even one I connect...

Another reason I ordered the 2.0 instead of a model with the 1.5L engine is because I once owned a motorcycle with a 1.8L engine. Admittedly, it was a 2 cylinder V-Twin, but still...a larger engine than the 1.5L Bronco. I've no doubt that engines have come a long way since then, and the...

Did your son pick out the color? I love the Cyber Orange, and my son considered it for his, but he went with a more subdued color (Alto Blue).

Thought I'd have had my order in about a week ago. It was ready to go, but then I started second-guessing options, models, etc. In fairness, it's an order for a family member, so I wasn't going on just my own wants and needs. Better late than never - as of today, I've got an order for one in...

Love it - Black is my favorite color for just about any vehicle. Your BS is beautiful. What size wheels and tires did you put on it? I really like the look. I've got a Badlands on order, and figured I'd powder coat the wheels when it comes in. Not exactly sure what I'll do, but I love the...
