I have the same issue around the same speed range with the 3-cylinder. Seems to be a bit common with these models right now. Either it is still part of the adaptive learning (I am only at 670 miles) or there will likely be a future software update to the transmission controller if this is a...

I have a call in to the Finance Manager at my dealership to ask why I was offered only an aftermarket and not a factory option - and why based on my driving habits (nearly 20k a year) I was only offered 6 years/84k miles. He is apparently out for eye surgery but I am sure to get an answer one...

The hard plastics in my Chevy scratched just as easily - it was just easier to hide since it was a hard plastic. My German Shepherd was not gentle lol

Looks great! Now I’m really wondering what I want to put on mine lol

If it is anything like the F150s I have seen - Ford put a sticker on EVERYTHING for assembly and tracking. There will be stickers on the exhaust pipe, etc - and all that stuff will get hot and eventually burn off. I smelled it once in mine as well after a highway trip but haven't smelled it since.

For pets I like the ones you can find that go between the headrests front and back - turning the rear seat into almost a hammock for the dog. Not only does it keep the seats safe, it helps keep the dog safe too. I used one with my German Shepherd and she absolutely loved it.

I was comparing non-Badlands to a non-Trailhawk in terms of speed, features, price. I was looking at a Trailhawk because I know for a fact the 2.4L in the other trim packages is an absolute pig. The 2.0L turbo changes that - but again you're paying a premium. The other part of it is you're...

Well I drank the Kool Aid when buying this vehicle - and I am now having "buyers remorse" when it comes to the warranty. I let finance add the extended warranty that is sold by Assurant/First Extended Service Corp and then started looking into it yesterday to realize I should have just insisted...

I've been tossing this around here and there as well - but looking for more input from the forums and FB groups. The 245/65 would cause a few mph discrepancy in the speedo that I wouldn't want to deal with right now - especially when my girlfriend lives by cruise control and the cops here will...

I have a lot of backcountry road driving with some interstate. First tank just yielded me 27mpg which was also what the dash indicated. So not only am I "right on the money" for MPG in said use case - but the dash didn't lie to me! This is coming from a V6 Colorado ZR2 where I was lucky to get...

We had the same comparison in mind - a Cherokee Latitude or Trailhawk versus the Bronco Sport. Bronco Sport had more in it for the money, and without getting the new 4-cyl turbo or V6 in the Cherokee, you're stuck with an anemic pig of an engine. Add the necessary powertrain for a fair fight...

No "visor strip" in the windshield of a Big Bend - I wouldn't think they did a tint strip on only some trims. The distance in between the A-pillar and the rearview mirror/assist camera "dome" on the windshield is 19" - give or take half an inch depending on how far down you want the lights to...

Most of these cameras draw only around half an amp at 5v - which comes down to less than around .2 amp at 12v - when actively recording. I had a Garmin 65 in my front window and a Mini in my rear of my ZR2 - with parking mode captures from vehicles passing by and such I would be able to go a...

All models it seem have it from the app - my BB has it as well. The difference is that we do not get the keyfob with the remote start button on it. That is another one of these ForScan things that can be investigated. I know on the F150s the owners needed to add a module and do some...

Since this is a year old now with no real progress - I will be hooking up my Sport to ForScan today and grabbing an "as-built" file for my BB and see what we can do from there. Mostly I want to see if I can enable remote start via keyfob like the F150 guys can do (instead of using just the...

I am bound to do it sooner rather than later. I live in an area with plenty of sandy/gravel back-roads and have some spots to do creek crossings and other bits and pieces. I am also looking for the best place to get some Falken WildPeaks in that size and maybe have them "buy back" the...

I'm sure that either an aftermarket kit will come out - or the Ford OEM parts will drop in price. I think the current logistics crunch they're seeing is causing issues with supply/demand. For instance, a spare BB 17" wheel is over $750 in the parts catalog!

Has anyone found an item, other than the vault, to help organize the center console space? For instance my Colorado ZR2 had an aftermarket plastic tray that was around $20 that allowed me to keep pens, coins, keys, etc in a way which I could remove the tray and still reach what’s below in the...

Might need to create a thread of insurance rate comparisons - as best as possible since everyone in different locations can have different results. I just replaced my Colorado ZR2 with a BB trim Sport... and my insurance stayed literally the same price! I would have thought with all the...

The galvanic corrosion issue is really one that has been hyped up more than it needs to be. The aluminum Ford models CAN have such an issue - but is mitigated by the fact that said body panels are coated in a type of electrostatic zinc coating. Add an NMO mount like the Larsen NMOKHFUD which is...
