  1. What Was Your Father's Old Car?

    My dad had a few cars over the years. - 1957 Ford Ranchero. I know of this car, but never saw it myself. He bought it new, his first car, but traded it in the year I was born. Dad said he had transmission problems with it and finally got fed up with it, but also when I was born he now had two...
  2. How does the 1.5 3 Cylinder Engine Do Up Big Mountains?

    Way back I had a '79 Volkswagen Rabbit L with a 1.5L 4cyl. w. 4spd. manual and 78 hp. It was German built and a blast to drive. Back then I certainly didn't think it was underpowered in any situation, but context matters. After more than forty years our expectations have changed as overall...
  3. Keeping your turbo healthy…

    Came across this today. Very Interesting, and not just for Ford vehicles. No. 7 - I would think many people have highway drives followed by at least a few minutes of much slower in-town driving before arriving at their destination. That slowdown in higher stress on the engine should help...
  4. Saving gas and battery life… how-to recommendations

    Same for me. I had no idea this was on since I picked up the car in October ā€˜24.
  5. Saving gas and battery life… how-to recommendations

    Definitely turned off Trailer Sway Control. Although my Bronco Sport has the trailer hitch package (something I wasn’t interested in but it was already on the vehicle I wanted) I don’t have any trailer to pull and not likely to have one in the foreseeable future. Also definitely turned off...
  6. AI Style Package…

    Presently I think the Outer Banks is the only model with body-colour door handles.
  7. AI Style Package…

    Holy crap!. Just for fun I coloured my Bronco Sport the same Spruce Green Metallic as my old 2024 CrownVic. And it looks freakin’ cool! I really like it!
  8. AI Style Package…

    Fixed. I considered an Outer Banks as well as a Badlands before purchase, but I just couldn’t accept the blacked out roof. To me it looked incomplete. I gotta say the more I look at it the more I like the body-colour C-pillar. That with the other body-colour bits I did along with the wheels...
  9. AI Style Package…

    Just for fun I decided to play with Gemini AI a bit to tweak my 2024 Bronco Sport Big Bend, I asked it to give it body-colour door handles as well as the C-pillars and the Bronco lettering on the front and back. I like the body-colour door handles and Bronco lettering on the front and back, but...
  10. Saving gas and battery life… how-to recommendations

    I’m going to look into them myself as well.
  11. Saving gas and battery life… how-to recommendations

    Anyone else familiar with these topics regarding how to improve fuel economy and improve your battery’s service life? I came across these on Youtube and I found them quite interesting. Has anyone ever tried these and did they actually make a difference for you?
  12. Interesting article

    None of the familiar ā€mommy wagonsā€ or familiar mainstream SUVs and 4X4s were on my radar before I bought my Bronco Sport. The only three such vehicles I did look at were the fullsize Bronco, the Jeep Wrangler and the Mazda CX-30. Those three struck me as distinctly different from the mainstream...
  13. BS Niggles

    The BS on the instrument panel is silver/grey or whatever even though my Bronco Sport is Hot Pepper Red, but it doesn’t bother me. The rotary gear selector is something I’m now used to, but if pressed I would rather have a more conventional shift lever or, better yet, a manual transmission...
  14. Brake Calipers Covers?

    I had caliper covers on my 2004 CrownVic. I liked them and they helped lessen brake dust on alloy wheels.
  15. Hood Struts

    Yeah, the hood prop is a pain. The struts are far better.
  16. Hood Struts

    Put Redline struts on my 2024 BS BB. Easy install took about 10-15 minutes.
  17. 2026 Bronco Sport, but no 2026 Bronco in Canada…

    Yes, we pay 13 percent sales tax, at least here in Ontario.
  18. 2026 Bronco Sport, but no 2026 Bronco in Canada…

    Okay, now I finally see it. Just for fun I priced out a base 2dr. 7spd. in Ruby Red with Base Standard Package, 16" Bright Polished Silver-Painted Steel Wheels, Standard Hard-top, Removable Hoop Steps, Splash Guards, Floor Liners, Cargo Area Protector and Abstract Bronco Spare Tire Cover. Comes...
  19. 2026 Bronco Sport, but no 2026 Bronco in Canada…

    Watching for the changes on the newer 2026 models I’ve seen the 2026 Bronco Sport has been introduced in Canada, but still no sign of the 2026 fullsize Bronco on Ford of Canada’s website. Odd as we’re not firmly into March already. Anyone hear or read anything about this?
  20. Snowmageddon is Here Again. Post Your Snow Pics

    I have Michelin X-Ice tires and I have no complaints.
