My '16 F150 been in garage since new and lug nuts are swollen just from periodic car washing.

Its not a common color even back in the late 80s you rarely saw that color. And '88 and '89 only color.

I think Badlands is 12-15 percent of sports built and thats how Ford wants it as a niche specialty type vehicle.

One new thread every day about fuel injector recall.

Yeah I think CAFE regulations is why its a Badlands only option. The lower 3 cyl trim sports are high volume so they help fords CAFE rating a lot. Ford doesn't want to sell a lot of 2.0 sports that was never their plan. Ford might be more liberal with 2.0s in Escapes cause they are jelly...

Moan like whale, some sound like tug boat horns in a foggy harbor.

Nice car! Mine is Bright Regatta Blue, color code 7H, its an '88 '89 only color. Yours does look same color

These are all fairly recent. It original paint/top/interior. Car was dealer stock fall of '87 they wanted it gone cause winter was coming.

Back in '80s guy in neighborhood had a GN with wastegate actuator, down pipe, colder thermostat. Ran 12s in 1/4 mile on street tires. Guy ask me wanna go for a ride? Sure, so he power brakes it at red light light turns green sounded like a fighter jet sideways across intersection pinning me...

I think the ones that are noisy have a build issue. Ford did not engineer them like that. They likely missing a seal or something. Stuffing stuff in gap is masking the real issue. But not likely dealer would fix under lying issue. Mine has giant gap and is very quiet 70+ mph don't have...

Local news has great coverage of the bridge collapse disaster. And yeah traffic congestion in the area some of the worse in the country. But you can drive to mountains or drive to beach for vacations thats a plus. High crime rates in the city but they are taking real steps to address that...

My "21 has gap between roof and windshield and it is very quiet at highway speeds. Mine is factory moonroof.

Trade in for a fully optioned Badlands sport?

Right every make has lemons every single one.

We have come a long way from the empty dealer lots during covid. Now you can stroll right on over to local ford dealer and EVs are on the lots ready for you to sign and drive home.

Lemon bronco sports have existed since day one. And so have large numbers of well built trouble free sports. To reduce risk test drive and inspect closely before you buy. Read up on common problems. I have always thought its a buyer beware since day one. Don't just wonder into a dealer sign...

20k miles on my '21 Badlands. I replaced Manual Park Release Cable cause of noise. Some times rear brakes moan on backup. But other then that its been great. Heard of some higher miles then mine trans blows up ect. But there are large numbers of sports out there problem free. And lemons...

Yeah giant voids in the upper fenders but Ford puts ECM down low for the off road vehicle.

Ford kept the gas V8 mustang around unlike dodge and chevy.

The noisy Manual Park Release Cable Ford came out with second revision in '22. I put that one on mine myself $50 delivered. Silent zero noise nothing. Point is the engineers at Ford do work on the defects and in the case of the noisy cable they solved that one. The second revised TSB...
