  1. Outrageously Overpriced Used ‘21 BS BigBend!

    Like all things in a capitalist nation.. supply and demand. Ford literally cannot make them fast enough to sell. Used is in HUGE demand. I am going to assume you have not read a single newspaper, listened to a single podcast, or spoke to anyone even slightly related to retail. It is not...
  2. Downshifting

    I am one of those sane drivers that do not get to the stop light at max speed then "downshift" 6 gears to come to a stop. Of course I also am in absolutely no rush what-so-ever when I am driving. I guess I am that driver that irritates others because I respect the laws we agree to obey when...
  3. If I was redoing the GOAT modes

    So far, for me, there is nothing I would change.. I mean I knew what I was buying and did about 3 months of deep dive into reviews, articles, and owner testimonials ... I do that on every vehicle I buy though so not new to this one. I will say though that, so far, I have not experienced any of...
  4. Alarm/Security options

    If they want that Cat, they will get it. All 8 of our company vehicles had their cat's taken in a single theft as all 8 alarms were going off in a busy section of the city on a Sunday in broad daylight as all the stores were open.
  5. $100 amazon gift card from Ford

    Did you get the actual gift card or just a slip of paper that read "Due to supply issues.... " ;)
  6. Hello?

    The first thing you need to decide: Stock or Non-Stock.... pricing, parts, and time will greatly differ between the two.
  7. If I was redoing the GOAT modes

    There are times, even in a Prius, where you need to turn the computer off and allow tire spin. With traction control on it kills power if too much slippage is detected, this is for safety but when you are stuck... getting unstuck is more important.
  8. If I was redoing the GOAT modes

    So basically you just want a Peddle Commander. ;)
  9. Outrageously Overpriced Used ‘21 BS BigBend!

    That sounds about right for around here. Why I was able to see my 21 Taco TRD OR for $5k over what I paid for it. Used cars are a hot item right now.
  10. Rain sensing wipers? Heated Mirrors?

    Well, to be honest I stopped buying Honda because of their predefined fits-all packages. I like choice and I have very strong feelings about certain options... like moon/sun roofs. I think it is mostly just understanding how they play so you can play on the same field. As for each...
  11. Rain sensing wipers? Heated Mirrors?

    Welcome to the world of ... well every single manufacture out there. Almost always the difference between the "base" version of something and the "tricked out" version is how much candy you getting. This is exactly where the factory makes their profits, this is well known.. or should be by...
  12. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    So far it has done what it should, sit still and look pretty. The color matches the rest of the dash so that is good also. My only question would be why did Ford just not include this by default.
  13. Goodyear wrangler workhorse AT

    These are 235/60R18's but they do come in 225. The reason I went with 235 is that 235/60R18 is used widely on other SUV's so the tire size is common and you can find replacements very easy.
  14. Whats your BS's name and why

    I went with "Rapid Red Devil", RRD for short, because when I test drove it I was assuming it was going to be some kind of sluggish no thrill no fun drive. This was based upon a lot of 2L owners "reviews" of the 1.5L but I wanted the better MPG. To my great surprise I found, apparently, one of...
  15. Goodyear wrangler workhorse AT

    Not sure which I like better, the look of those tires or the color of your BS!
  16. Goodyear wrangler workhorse AT

    I am running with the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015, first vehicle I have had them on but so far they seem great. I wanted to go with my tried and trusted Wildpeak AT3W but no in my size now.
  17. Downshifting

    Unless he has the wrong model of BS in his profile, his trim level does not have paddle shifters and from all I can gather it does not allow manual shifting at all.
  18. What NAV do you use when no network available?

    I am starting to lean that way, I watch a few reviews on the Overlander and currently the value is just not there for the price and the map downloading is cumbersome and time consuming. I have several iPads, I will check to see if any of them have GPS, I do know all are WiFi only and if they...
  19. Rotten Egg Smell

    That smell is most likely caused by pushing the car revs up (like going up steep hills, passing, etc) which heats up the catalytic converter and burns the deposits of sulphur and hydrocarbons that have built up over the last few weeks.
  20. Unofficial MPG thread for the 1.5L

    750+ Miles, took two trips into the mountains and 70/30 Hwy/Cty driving. I was tracking MPG the old way, like my grampa did, with pen and pencil but to be honest it was within +/- .2-.5 MPG of the digital readout.
