i know I’m going to get slammed but I love deep dish rims with whitewalls …

I also dislike dark / black rims. Would like to find a light colored alloy rim !

Hi David, BB owner here but I’ve never heard the noise you described …

The irony is that the raw material for your Mexican parts (eg aluminum) are mined in Canada and pass from Canada to the US for processing into ingots / alloys that then would be purchased by Mexico to stamp the parts which then would be assembled and packed into paper cartons made from US trees...

Hi Mark, in October 2024 the RCMP (our Federal police agency) raided a Cartel operated lab that was operating in Falkland, BC, so this is documented and easily verified. It’s definitely alarming and although we have very small amount going south of our border, any amount and any lab and...

Yes , this is a great example. The current USMCA North America trade agreement allows car parts to pass between Mexico / USA / Canada without tariffs (import taxes) being charged and effectively allows the automakers to manufacture or buy components where it’ most cost effective.

Fords retail cost of all vehicles is partly calculated based on the sum of the landed cost of its components. Landed cost includes tariffs, material costs, insurance, labor, overhead fees and transportation. When any aspect of the landed cost increases it will impact the retail price. It’s...

If it is truly ice, I’d suggest staying off the road altogether because no drive system will help. If it’s packed or wet snow “ slippery“ , suggest “Slippery mode” because that will retard the acceleration to avoid wheelspin. Remember to leave more space for decelerating when stopping and...

Outstanding, looks very nice ! I really like that color. Very interested what the new 1.5 MPC engine is like.

Remote entry is also possible via the FordPass app. To be honest, the selling dealer should have spent some time with you at delivery going over the features of your new vehicle. Perhaps a return visit would help.

Did we hear any comments from the original poster ? By now he’s probably so overwhelmed by the enthusiastic responses , he’s heading to his local GM dealer to pick up a GMC Terrain …

Keep in mind the 2025 models have entirely new MPC modular powerplants. Both the 1.5 and 2.0 displacements. So we are possibly at square one for measuring reliability…

Snow JW - Happy Big Bend owner here. The 1.5 is a great engine, excellent economy and lots of horse power. The ride quality is good. We use the BB to tow our Polaris SxS to the trailheads , and theres no reason the BB can’t take on rough roads and average trails. Gravel roads will be a...

If you haven’t replaced your battery yet, and yours is a 2021 … then suggest to do it now anyway as it’s probably reached its lifespan. Strange electrical behaviors and non starting are most likely related to battery charge.

If the accelerator worked when you brought it in, then failed after they did their work - most likely that something they did caused the new fault. Try and find a UK Ford dealer and I would think they would have access to the correct manuals to fix the issue. I’ll bet there is nothing...

I received the recall notice , inspection done and our Bronco didn’t require any remediation.

Here’s a link to an incident where a Bronco Sport fell 400 feet off a shelf road in Black Bear Pass in Colorado. Probably has been shared here before, but relevant to this thread ….

Mike does your BS have the 110v power outlets … because I think that alternator version is more expensive. Aside from the plugs, the alternator sounds way pricey … but glad you got to 100 k

Outstanding scenery and vehicle!
