    Looks like my water pump is leaking, any suggestions on what to do?

    I was at my local dealership to pick up some parts and asked the service department if they knew of any issues with the water pump. She said they hadn't heard of anything (I live in a small town so not too surprising). I didn't have time to set up an appointment but what do y'all think I...

    Bronco Sport vs Honda CR-V or Passport?

    I came from Honda before buying this Bronco Sport a year ago. I really enjoy it and I'm kind of liking the adventurous part of it, but I do miss some Honda things. It is more fun to drive than a CR-V (my mom has one so I didn't even consider it). The Passport is a lot bigger but has a larger...

    Which Keyless Entry Keypad to get?

    I have a 2023 Big Bend without factory installed remote start. I would probably buy the Perimeter Plus Security System which adds remote start. So should I buy the keypad for vehicles with or without factory remote start? Since the Security System is Ford, would that be considered factory?

    Any trails near Houston?

    I'm going to be around Houston later this week. Actually in Columbus for an oil change. I had planned to go over to Hidden Falls but now I'm wondering if there's any trail or off-highway driving around Houston? I'll be up there Friday-Saturday/Sunday maybe.

    Let's talk Ford Extended Warranty Plans and experiences.

    I'm planning to buy a Ford extended warranty in the next couple of months. I know there are a few threads out there about this and I don't want to take away from them, but I want this to be pertaining to my needs. I also want to hear about others experiences using Ford's plans, especially the...

    What do y’all do to clean your engine bay?

    I noticed mine is pretty dusty. Do you just rinse it with a garden hose? Clean water from the car wash?

    Does anyone have the Black Diamond Off-Road Package?

    I don't think I've seen anyone talk about this other than when it was announced. Has anyone ordered a BS and added this? Has anyone bought one with it already added? I'm curious if we can buy the underbody protection and decals after market. Maybe the wheels too but they're just for looks.

    Would Ford push out new accessories for the MY'24?

    I have some points and credit at Ford that I'd like to spend. Do y'all think we'll get new accessories when he '24s come out? Should I wait? I really don't need anything but I don't like having that credit. I may get either the keypad or the owner's manual case.

    How accurate is the onboard TMPS PSI readout?

    I've filled my tires up to 33 psi several times now and when I check in the menus, they're at 31 psi. I have 2 analog stick gauges, made by Milton, and they showed about 32 psi. After I drive for a while, the tires will go to 33 or 34 psi but this got me thinking one of them may be off a...

    How does the Bronco Sport compare to the new CR-Vs?

    I had been a Honda guy for maybe the last 15 years or so. I like what they do, fit and finish, all that. But I was driving a car. I toyed with getting a Passport but didn't really like it. I was going back to the Accord and test drove a Bronco Sport. I bought it an hour later. Now, so...

    Locking my keys and wallet in the car and use Apple Watch Ford app?

    I just want to make sure this will work. Iā€™m not too concerned about securing my stuff, I just donā€™t want to get locked out. For work, weā€™re going to some small water park we rented for ourselves. Maybe 70 employees. I want to leave my phone, keys, and wallet in the car. If it locks, should I...

    What are some good road side assistance items to keep in your BS?

    For years, I've carried around jumper cables, an air compressor, gloves, and that's about it. I had a flat tire about 6 weeks ago. Usually I can air up and move on to the nearest flat repair but this time that wasn't going to happen. I was on almost level ground but this made me think I...

    Any updates to Sync3?

    I think I saw that the current Sync3 version has some issue and it was suggested we turn off auto updates. Is this still the case? I think that was over a month ago yet. Also, is there a way to give Ford feedback on the current version? I've come across little bugs and I don't know how they...

    Ford Molle Bags - Photos

    I thought I'd put up some pics of the Molle bags from Ford, part number VM1PZ10C744A. These are Skanda branded. You can find them on other sites new, but about the same price as they are from Ford. As of today, they are $59 or 11,800 points to purchase. In the package, you get 6 bags of...

    Texas Bronco Off-Roadeo

    I recently attended the Texas Bronco Off-Roadeo and wanted to give my take on it. I live in South Texas so on my way up there, I decided to go through the Texas Hill Country Tour. If you haven't done this, it's a nice drive through some really pretty scenery. I did chicken out when going...

    Do we ever do meetups in Texas?

    I recently did part of the Texas Hill Country Overland Route (here's that thread). I didn't really see anyone else out there but I have seen groups of people getting together to do a trip on YouTube. Would anyone be interested in doing this in the future? I'm coming from the South so for me...

    Does this rear end look right?

    Do the silver/metal parts below the bumper look right? The one on the right is lower, maybe I'm parked on unloved ground? I've never noticed this before. The ride last time I drove it felt fine. Sorry, I noticed this as I was leaving for the day and didn't really have time to double check it.

    Texas Hill Country Overland Trip!!

    Alright, this is my first road trip. Iā€™m staying at hotels so Iā€™m not sure if this counts. Iā€™m leaving San Marcos and going to Marble Falls. So backwards of almost all the guides. I washed it up, tires and oil are good. I picked up coffee, snacks, and I have water (2 gallons in the back...

    Can I get a pic of the foam insert on the driver’s side quarter panel?

    I was washing my car yesterday (right before it rained šŸ˜‘) and noticed thereā€™s a foam piece inside the driverā€™s side quarter panel. It looked out of place so I checked the passenger side. This one was more upright. Theyā€™re not identical so I want to make sure itā€™s put where it should be. Can...

    Ford Molle Bags Accessories?

    Has anyone bought the Molle Bag accessory from Ford? I'm looking for a molle pouch to keep some nitrile gloves. Does this happen to have a pouch that would work with that? It's kind of hard to tell how some of them work. I was looking at one on Amazon but thought I might pay a bit more and...
