I keep looking for, and not finding, a comparison test or review or off-road challenge between the Badlands and other trim levels. I'd love to see how the 1.5 and 2.0 drivetrains compare over the same terrain. For instance, a Badlands v. Big Bend at the TFL Offroad X ranch trail. Has anyone seen...

But, I probably really can’t. I’ll try, let me know what you think! In a previous post, I mentioned the Good Idea Fairy steering me north. Well, here we are deep into winter in Vermont. At different points during the season there was snow, sleet, freezing rain. Example A, for the prosecution...

'23 Heritage, 1.5L Dragon, 15000 miles. As my wanderings have taken me to the cold, snowy North-East, I think I'm hearing something different. When the engine is cold at first start in the morning I'm definitely hearing a clack or clatter under any acceleration. As the engine warms up the...

Have you heard of the Good Idea Fairy? The one who whispers quietly into your ear ... "it's ok, you should do this"? The Good Idea Fairy and I are, apparently, good friends. After luring me into driving from Florida to Moab (and back), the whispers started up again pretty quickly. You see, Lotus...

As previously noted, I have 'dynamic honesty' about what I'm likely to do when the Good Idea Fairy comes a'callin'. What follows will be a combination Trip Report and Ownership Update, with some mileage and maintenance stats just to spice (?) things up. Purchased a new 2023 B S Heritage on...

In an earlier post I said I wasn’t taking my ‘23 Heritage to Moab. I arrived in Moab this afternoon. I therefor amend my previous assertion: I’m not going (rock crawling or doing Hells Revenge in) Moab. I’m planning on a couple of days of easy trails and dispersed camping.

Yeah, struggling for a clever thread title. Anyone put their BS on an articulation ramp? I’m curious about chassis flex/rigidity. I watched a YouTube vid recently from an Aussie channel doing off-road reviews. They took all the current small crossovers on their test course. One of the tests was...

How many different types of fobs are there, and is any one of them better or worse? 23 Heritage, and I got a couple of very basic fobs - unlock, lock, panic and convenience key. I keep seeing threads and pics with other features like remote start or liftgate unlock. Ford going minimalist on...

I participated in the New Hampshire Off Roadeo on June 9th and wanted to echo what's been said before - it's a nice day, great way to see some of what the Badlands trim can do, and just generally fun. I'm blown away by Ford's investment in these events. The buildings, fleets of vehicles, pro...
