  1. Less loud offroad tires

    www.tirerack.com has a pretty comprehensive review system, including reviews from owners. Tires are rated on a variety of attributes, including road noise. You might find what you're looking for there.
  2. Replaced worn out Falkens with Toyo Open Country A/T III

    UPDATE I've put just under 5K miles on these tires since new. Here are my observations: The Toyos remain quite a bit louder than the OEM Falkens. I thought they might quiet down after wearing in a bit, but that hasn't happened. They make the typical sound you hear from tires with aggressive...

    Would you say they are...ahem...a hoot? I'll show myself out...
  4. Thinking of tuning your 1.5? DO IT ALREADY!

    Ford Performance parts are considered "aftermarket" for the purposes of warranty claims, therefore a Ford Performance tune DOES affect your warranty. When you buy a Ford Performance tune it comes with its own warranty...from Ford Performance. They generally will provide a 3yr/36K warranty for...
  5. Thinking of tuning your 1.5? DO IT ALREADY!

    It doesn't void the warranty on components the tune does not affect. Your warranty guide specifically says damage cause by modified engine control software is not covered by the warranty. Those who favor tunes often argue that if your engine suffers a RUD it's up to Ford to "prove" the tune...
  6. I many never get used to this thing. What to do and when to do it?

    Whenever I fly an aircraft I've never flown before I take an hour or two to sit in the seat and become completely familiar with all the controls. I don't just mean find them all, I mean I run through the checklists--especially the emergency procedures checklists--several times as I touch each...
  7. I many never get used to this thing. What to do and when to do it?

    Of course it taxes these components, which is why they were designed specifically for the purpose.
  8. Advice for correct gear/drive mode for our 2025 Big Bend please.

    The system is pretty smart; why not leave it in normal and let it figure out how to get up the hill?
  9. Crazy Rattle behind firewall

    You will almost certainly have to take it to a service center. You can limit the amount of time they spend troubleshooting by collecting as much information as possible. Make sure it's not coming from inside the car. Noise bounces around a lot inside cars, especially off windows. Have someone...
  10. 1.5 Inch Rough Country Lifted Struts & Springs

    Pre-2025 Badlands have 8.8 inches vs 7.8 for other trims. Half an inch of that is taller tires, the other half is taller springs.
  11. First Oil Change: 1.5l MPC from 2025 Outer Banks

    Saw that; I typed my post before I read the full thread. Rookie mistake...:angry:
  12. First Oil Change: 1.5l MPC from 2025 Outer Banks

    I think it's premature to make judgements about change intervals. The engine is still breaking in, and the oil from the factory will be different from that used from now on.

    Depending on how you're equipped, you can have quite a bit of fun with your pants on...
  14. 1.5 Inch Rough Country Lifted Struts & Springs

    This is a question I've been asking for quite some time. No one--least of all lift kit suppliers--seems to have an answer backed with data. There are lots of opinions, and anecdotal evidence, but little data. For a clue, we can note that Ford added only .5" to the ground clearance on the 2025...
  15. 2022 Violently Surging on Restart from Auto Stop/Start

    This is almost certainly the right answer.
  16. Rear Ended while stopped for road construction-Damage looks minor until I crawled under the car

    I couldn't decide whether this was good news (hearts) or bad news (frown), so you just got a cool (thumbs up). :thumbsup:
  17. Ecoboost 2.0 MPC (2025+) Oil Specification Change

    The recommended oil is 5W30. I don't believe the manual recommends 0W20 for the 2.0L. There is a recommendation for 0W30 oil for "extremely cold climates." Here's the link to the engine oil page for the online Owner's Manual for the 2025 Bronco Sport. Excerpt:
  18. Ecoboost 2.0 MPC (2025+) Oil Specification Change

    I've never heard of either of these terms used to describe internal combustion engine induction methodology. NA in reference to engine air induction means naturally or normally aspirated. All other inductions methods require compression of the air going to the engine--the air is literally forced...
