I just returned from a 21-day camping trip in Colorado, slept in the little Sport the whole time. Just a Thermarest Basecamp for a mattress, usually that's in the Excursion over a closed-cell foam flooring. The Basecamp alone left a little to be desired - I'll take a look at the Luno, thanks...

The driving conditions were significantly different on each tank as well. I think that's going to be a bigger wildcard than than anything (except payload or towing), but the fill level is certainly a variable nonetheless. Thanks for doing the math, I'm happy with the number!

Oh, I'll be feeling the effects for years.

The trip home from the dealer last week was from Phoenix (1000' elevation) to Prescott (my living room floor is at 5282'). Having only 96 miles on it, I didn't fill before leaving on the weekend trip. On Friday, we left for Alamogordo NM, across the mountains through Payson. The first section...

Glad to see all the support for keeping the entire family! I am among my people here. No kids to give a car to, I already gave my stepdaughter a '97 CR-V that is nicer than this one (I bought them at the same time). One of my recurring experiences with the Excursion is someone walking up to...

I gave up on a Bronco Sport months ago, with all the commodity restrictions, ADM, long waits for orders and such. I was on a lookout list with a couple of Phoenix dealers, most stopped calling me when they learned how specific my must-haves were - Badlands, Premium, 360+, tow, and only a couple...

Depends. If it's something you want and you have plenty of money, is it foolish? Some people don't care about cost or resale, they want what they want and just get it. Lots of things I buy on a weekly basis would be considered "foolish" by others. Some people would consider letting a mere...

Salesman said the 2.0 production is currently stalled due to parts shortages. I learned that it's made in Spain, at least that's what the content sticker said. This isn't an affluent town, lots of moderate income retirees here. Still, I think it will go fairly quickly - it's practically a...

I have no idea if there would be any interest in this. For your consideration as a data point and nothing else. I have zero affiliation with Galpin Ford or anyone there. Today I saw a Rapid Red Badlands/Badlands with 360+ and a couple other minor factory options (I don't remember them all...

The look of that mud spray appears that the vehicle slid sideways into the puddle, and the spinning front tires (at zero forward speed) threw mud up on the fender, A-pillar, and door. Kinda exactly like what the owner reported.

That's the thing I'm most dreading coming from a 1998 CR-V and a 2002 Excursion - the defensive panic when people around me do stupid shit. Sorry for your loss, hope it fixes up nicely.

Sorry this happened to you, man. I hope it's an isolated case, but it sounds like it may not be. Will Ford re-engineer this? If not, no Sport for me. A Sport was going to be my interim solution until Broncos become more readily available, but not if they're this fragile. Unacceptable. Zero...

Naaaaahhhhhh.... :confused:

I have no connections for anything useful - except my daughters :). Then again, I'm certified in my ability to keep a secret, so there's that to consider... Maybe I should ask what Carmaker1 wants tickets to? :fingerscrossed:

Not at all, just a general observation. I'm the guy that's always reticent about asking for a discount or upgrade on a hotel room or a plane ticket, as I know *everyone* asks for a discount. It just must be all the worse to be someone in the know regarding something secretive and popular. My...

The government has all that and a broad array of criminal disincentives, and still Bronco is the best-kept secret in the nation.

It probably sucks to be anyone even remotely associated with Ford right now... all your "old friends" you haven't heard from in decades trying to weasel out any info on the Bronco.

Does that one have IFS and a V8? Or SFA and too much tech? I'm so confused...

I already posted... pretty much in agreement with you. But it's difficult to be certain based on some slippery stuff - no idea of scale on the pictured grille, no idea of the size of the little cousin and lack of a detailed hi-res photo, and knowing that the Bronco R body is said to be only...

Whether for the BroncoBronco or the smaller cousin, what I see in that grille is a deeply recessed round LED or projector, either one with a large round halo. The light isn't going to follow the contour of the outline of the housing, but rather be inset with a clear cover over it making the...
