Just curious how these compare to the Ford plates off the Black Diamond package. For the earlier years of BS, the BD Package was pretty much the plates and some decals. I wonder how they compare to just in price but in quality.
This is my first AWD car so I'm not familiar with some of these acronyms.
I want to make sure I'm changing the right fluids. These are the ones I'm aware of:
Oil - follow the Oil Life Indicator
Brake - every 3 years
Coolant - Every 5 years (couldn't find anything but that's what my last 2...
Looks like an exciting upgrade!
I normally would jump on this but I have to ask..
Besides wireless CarPlay, what would I be gaining? I'm not a fan of wireless right now. And I almost exclusively use CarPlay.
I have a GoPro Hero something. It's a few years old but I guess that doens't matter since you're looking for a mount.
I used the GoPro branded suction cup stuck to the windshield under the rear view mirror.
Here's a video...
If you have a 2025, I think there are mounting holes built into...
I was at college majoring in Music Education. I was in the middle of a lesson when another professor came in and gave us the news. We just kind of sat there and my professor said we should cancel and finish up later.
I don't remember if I went to other classes or if they were canceled. I...
Find a new mechanic.
I've learned dealerships are always going to be more expensive. They have expertise and training for that specific car. But that doesn't mean they're going to do right by the customer nor are they going to be able to solve without replacing everything along the way.
Thanks. I was really leaning towards the BFG Trail Terrains but since there's only a Firestone dealer in town, I had considered Firestone/Bridgestone. I hadn't looked into them too much since most suggest BFG, Falken, or Toyo.
Looks like a good time!
How was the road noise with those tires? I'm wanting some more aggressive tires but since most of my driving is on pavement, I don't want to deal with the drone of treads.
Now don't get me wrong.... I'd love a BLS. But for me in South Texas where there aren't many trails and a sandy beach is pretty much all I have, BBBD meets my needs and most BS owners.
OP, have you tried that same USB port with your phone? I would assume if it works with a phone it'll work with a USB drive.
@Glamdring70 , do you need to index every time your start your BS? Now I'm thinking of getting a USB drive for a beach drive. I don't get cellular service and my iPhone...
I can't watch right now. Can someone tell me how they compared?
I've always thought BBBD is the best package for someone unless they really plan to go off-road.
Why are they saying your flex pipe is damaged? I had a rattling sound from my rear area that would stop when I put pressure on the tail pipe. The grumpy service advisor said it was my flex pipe but she also said they were replacing my compressor when I brought it in for low coolant. I didn't...
I have a 2023 but I saw a picture of a 2025's interior. I would think you'd need to get a USB-C flash drive and try that out. Maybe someone can chime in to verify it works.
If not... I have one somewhere but I don't know if I have any .mp3s. I can give it a go but it may take a few days.
I think the Passport would be comparative to the BS. It might have a little more ground clearance and Honda’s AWD system is supposed to be one of the better ones without going full 4X4. It is larger which would be nice to carry gear but may be harder to navigate smaller trails.
I don’t know if...
I don't think the computers will be a future issue unless they short out and there are no replacements. But that can happen with physical parts, too.
I have an iPhone 11 Pro. I used it via a bluetooth add on with my 2006 Accord (could've gone back to 2003 MY or maybe further). My 2023 BS...
If you're going through insurance, do you know for sure it won't impact your rates? My mom had her's replaced when she was with Geico. When she switched to Progressive, they said she had a claim or 2. The only claims she had were with the windshield (couldn't remember how many but they all...
The BS was on the high end of my budget. And not that I couldn't afford it. I had just gone 26 years owning cars costing less than $13,000 and usually worth about $3,000 at their end of life. Driving home, it felt really weird and I wanted to return it over the next couple of days. But here...
