It wasn't the deer that finished off the car, it was the guy in the Silverado that rear ended us at 60mph when we stopped after hitting the deer.

Our collision on Feb 9 that destroyed our CX-5 started out as a deer strike. We hit it at around 10mph, and it trashed the bumper, grill, forward collision sensors, condenser and a bunch of other stuff. $4000 CDN in front end damage alone.

Apparently there is a call in to Ford of Canada Tech support. The dealership is bouncing between unsafe to drive and perfectly fine. We shall see.

Our 2023 BS OB, in service for 3 weeks and 2500km, is at the dealership now for a howling noise in the rear diff. Has anyone had any luck getting the noise fixed? I've read several threads and Ford seems to like adding insulation to the rear. There's no way a diff should be making that much...

Following the thread. My wife swears it's there and loud, but I can't hear it with my tinnitus

Installed door sill plates, as the sills were getting scuffed. Straightforward application, and warranted by Ford to the end of our 6yr/120,000KM PremiumCare contract.

There you have it, "Hills". We get 29-32 MPG in out 1.5 going from home to the cottage, which is around 100 miles round trip. And it's basically up and down hills the whole way, 70-72mph. Or in Metric (for my fellow canadians), 7.5-7.9 l/100km on a 160 km round trip, and keeping pretty much to...

Nah, eco-mode allows the speed to drop too much on the highway before downshifting. Our 1.5l 3-Squirrel protests too heavily when lugged, so it stays in Normal until things get slippery.

We hit a deer and were rear ended in our '20 Mazda CX-5 in early Feb. Insurance was going to do an extremely fair payout, mostly because they were suing the other guy. My wife decided she wanted a BS, and I didn't want to go backwards in features and convenience items so we got our '23 BS OB...

We've got an Outer Banks. I glanced at the bumper today, and thought about tow hooks.

In today's episode of "How'd You Mod Your Bronco Sport Today?" we have OEM mudflaps.

A set of steelies that fit an Escape or Maverick will work.

We haven't had any real snow to speak of this year. The worst part of getting here were the potholes, which are normal. If there'd been legit snow and ice, the BS would have been equipped with some serious snow tires on a set of steelies. The temp is suppose to hit the low to mid 40's today...

Took (my) first decent drive in the Baby Bronc yesterday. Headed up to the family cottage, which is about 50 miles from home. Got almost 30mpg, which I consider decent. At this time of year, the roads that the cottage is located on are bombed out, and best traversed by a Hummer or Duece and a...

I was thinking about stealing the 3.0l Ecoboost out of my sister's Explorer ST and shoehorning under the hood of my wife's BS.

Our '23 has 360+. They're about 50/50 as far as equipped or not equipped in our area. All the '22's have the 4g delete.

Sharp looking ride! There are basically no used BS's in our area, but tons of new 22's and 23's. Bonus for you!

Oh there's no way I'm gonna mod to the point where we get 21 MPG. I might as well drive my old man's ecoboost F150 SuperCrew.

What are some brands of roof-rack crossbars that should be considered or avoided? Not looking for super heavy duty, but a product that'll stand up to carrying camping gear or kayaks to/from the cottage.

I don't think we'll be going to 245's. But definitely getting some meatier skins.
