Keep it in the Ford family: Coyote 5.0! Seriously, a very lightweight, brick-shaped object like a BS probably cannot safely manage more HP/torque than the 2.0 already provides. I’d imagine things get slippery quickly.

I am still rolling on the stock 225 Pirellis. I’ve driven at least a thousand miles in heavy snow and ice in the past year (I ski and the Rockies are in our “backyard”). It already feels like I cannot ask for better traction so I have yet to replace the stock tires. Last weekend Rabbit Ears pass...

Those prices seem misleading. AWD standard compared to FWD standard.

You did a wonderful job with the lighting. They don’t look like miniatures at all.

Thanks for tip! Bought it because it’s pretty much exactly like mine. :)

Sooooo many Subarus. Same here in Denver, even in my garage. :) Thanks for the big yeti holder recommendation!

Rough Country seems to have a product (nerf bar) that does the job. Anyone find and like any alternatives they prefer for a simple, non-moving step bar? I’d love something narrow and solid to stand on when putting skis, etc. on and off the roof rack.

Are the twin exhaust pipes real or part of the camouflage? If real, it might imply Ford squeezed the 2.3 in. That and the extra ride height (appears higher than a BL) supports the “raptor” guesses.

Half day is now being offered at three of the four Off-Roadeo locations (NH is closed for skiing). https://broncodrives.com/

Looks more like enhanced damage insurance to me. But maybe helpful to others? https://www.autoblog.com/2023/10/16/ford-protect-offers-off-road-insurance-for-the-bronco-and-bronco-sport/

I did several months of Colorado winter on the stock Pirellis. No issues, even on icy inclines above the tree line. I’ll change them eventually, but I think they’ll be fine for the upcoming ski season. I rarely encounter wet roads, because Colorado, and defer to those who live where it rains. :)

I’m chuckling at the low number you saw. In my neighborhood there’s a sport or two on nearly every block near me now. Nearly as many big Broncos, too. (Still nowhere close to Jeep/Subaru, feels like they’re 50+% of passenger vehicles.) Ford has definitely joined the party.

Anecdotally only, but my 2022 BL has illuminated USB ports. It was of the last ones made for that model year.

I read the article and one thing stands out. The Chinese spec Bronco is 5-6“ taller and wider than the domestic 6G. Oof. That’s a lot of truck. Good luck with the parking garages.

I’ve had XM & SiriusXM radios in my cars since 2002. I’m a musician who bores too easily and need waaaay more variety than terrestrial radio provides or any playlist I could conjure. Pandora’s also superb at meeting the need. So I happily pay for both. Having both in the BS, however, is a first...

2035 could have surprises. 12 years is a long time in tech, I suspect many battery/range issues will have been solved for the EVs themselves. The charging infrastructure? I think that’s gonna be the massive challenge with far too many points of failure. I believe the cars will be ready and on...

Wouldn’t a 2.7 introduce negative aspects for a lightweight 4WD vehicle? A quick lookup shows 315-335 hp and 350-400 fp torque. Seems overkill to me. Caveat: I’m a newbie at all things trucks and offroad. But in an automobile too much power makes handling dangerously slippery. Witness all the...

Since this thread still lives: The BSBL Ford provided us at the Moab Off-Roadeo had stock Pirellis. They all did. :)

I love this thread. Versatility in action. I hope to borrow as much as possible for camping trips.

I stayed in the Lodge. It’s immediately adjacent the Bronco building and has a gorgeous setting. It’s also a freaking shrine to an actor who ain’t my cuppa, so there’s that. There are many vastly less pricy options just down the road in Moab proper that are much closer to both National Parks and...
