    30,000 Mile Maintenance Service Cost

    Always a good idea to get a quote or list of what your dealer/mechanic is doing to your car before they start working on it and to tell them nothing else gets done without your authorization.

    Snow tires effect on speedometer?

    It will be off by a tiny bit unless you reprogram the tire size with Forscan

    AT tire treadlife

    I have Pirelli Scorpion AT+ and with just over 12k miles on them they barely look worn

    Thoughts on sun strip?

    I have one and it makes a huge difference in the mornings when the sun is rising. Don't think it looks ugly.

    Help with Seats

    I'm 6'1" and wish the front of the seats extended out a little bit further or could be raised a little bit more. But after 18k miles and a few long road trips I wouldn't say they are uncomfortable. I'm just used to it by now.

    Speedometer reading

    Tire Size Comparison The 235's are a shorter tire by over an inch, so your speedometer will be overreporting your speed. You can use Forscan to reprogram it if you'd like.

    Vehicle Tax & Registration

    Virginia has personal property tax. The rates vary based on your locality. My BS was valued just under what I paid for it in Feb of 2021. I actually thought that was low. Years ago I leased a new Lexus NX. Paid the first year's bill, 2nd years bill comes and it's way higher. Since it's a leased...

    Archaic LED Tail Lights

    I don't think the sensors are in there. I've removed mine to replace the bulbs with LED and the only wiring harness that goes into them is the one for the lights.

    I like them, but not for almost $500

    I've never been able to update mine over Wi-Fi.

    Speedometer/MPG/Miles read out

    Yes, putting on larger tires will cause your odometer to undercount your miles driven and your MPG readout to be less than what you're actually getting. The MPG readout will drop because the car thinks you're using the same amount of fuel as before to travel less distance then you actually are...

    Rattling near back passenger side headliner/grab handle

    I've noticed something similar on mine. Pretty sure it's coming from the rear passenger door trim by the handle. It only happens for me when the car is first driven for the day, and when it's between 50-70 degrees outside. It never happened during the summer but now that temps are cooling off...

    Dropped Bronco Sport

    I'm not a fan of slammed cars.

    2024 Jeep RECON EV revealed as all-electric Wrangler

    I like the look. FCA definitely took some cues from the BS when they designed it. Would I buy one? Depends on the price. If it can be had nicely equipped around 50k, maybe. Higher than that and you might as well buy a Lightning.

    Brown Tires

    I have Scorption All Terrain Plus and my passenger side tires are pretty brown. I bought a spray that's supposed to clean it up but haven't had a chance to use it yet.

    2.3L Option in the future?

    Wonder if they just ditched the 2.3L for FWD based vehicles.

    Negativity

    Only people whose BS came with an engine cover can spread positivity :wink:

    Our world is changing.

    Me neither really. First car was a hand me down, put about 30k on it. Then I leased a Lexus, put about 30k on that, leased another one, traded it in for the BS with about 15k on the odometer. I'm at 16k on my BS now, so about halfway through to a new car :)

    Issues with wireless charging pad?

    I have a non-Magsafe charger I sometimes use at home. It works fine with my 13, regardless of what case I have on.

    Issues with wireless charging pad?

    There is clearly an issue with the wireless charging pads Ford uses and the newer iPhones with Magsafe. It's not as much as an issue in the BS since it doesn't have wireless Carplay IMO.
