  1. Hey Ford, Leave My Recirc On!

    This is irritating. I have been turning my recirculation switch on because we’ve had some bad wildfire smoke lately. It reverts to outside air intake after about 5 minutes even if the HVAC is set to manual. Sometimes I miss the days of crank windows and fully manual climate controls.
  2. Goat Mode: Dad Joke Edition

    Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
  3. NorCal adventures?

    Me and a couple other dads somehow got hall passes for a weekend in mid-June. We want to get off the beaten path, somewhere our wives would never tolerate. We are all experienced outdoorsmen, and have done our fair share of "overlanding" in our younger years. Normally I'd head for the high...
  4. Front to back cargo divider?

    When we go on short family trips, we need to carry both our 55 lb dog and our stuff in the back. I've been stacking our duffel bags etc on one side, leaving most of the floor space for the dog, but the pile flops over on the dog if it's not bungeed. I found this nice divider system from...
  5. Flaky CarPlay Connection

    For a month or so I've been unable to use CarPlay with my iPhone 12 because the connection is very intermittent. Charging is flaky as well. I believe the issue is with the Bronco's electronics. I have tried 5 different cables including using both the USB and USB-C connections on the dash. Both...
  6. That Ford Glass is Tough

    Went into Oh'Really Auto Parts to pick up some touch-up paint for my Transit...Came back out and someone had tried really hard to break in. Hit the driver's and passenger's window glass a total of 6 times most likely with a center punch, never broke through. I'm really getting my money's worth...
  7. Carplay no worky

    Since about 10 days ago, my iphone won't connect to carplay. The Sync screen shows "iphone detected" and the iphone will charge but there's no tab for carplay at the bottom of the screen. I've tried 3 different cables. I've checked all the settings I can think of, what am I missing?
  8. Wiper arm removal?

    The driver side wiper is swinging onto the A pillar. Probably due to windshield technician not positioning it correctly. There is a nut holding it onto the shaft which I removed, but it won’t pull off. Do I need a wiper arm puller?
  9. Hate this dial shifter…

    Half the problem is with my stress-addled head, and half is the design of the dial shifter. About 3 times now, I’ve accidentally shifted from Reverse into Park, meaning to shift to Drive. It’s just soo easy to turn it the wrong way. Only once did I hear the pawls grind in the transmission, but...
  10. Torn underbody liner

    I have been hearing a fluttering sound underneath the car, so I crawled under for a look. I’ve done a couple of off-road excursions so far, don’t remember when it might have happened but now there’s a hole in the fiber underbody liner. I’d consider just pulling the whole thing off, but it does...
  11. Catalytic Converter Protection

    Catalytic Converter theft is a serious problem here in the Bay Area, as it is in many urban areas. Higher ground clearance vehicles are particularly targeted because they’re easy to crawl under. One of my customers recently bought 2 brand new Fuso box trucks, and within a week had the cats...
  12. Temperature display in metric

    Found no info in the manual or this forum. My climate control displays the temperature setting in Celcius, how do I change it to Fahrenheit? I’ve looked through all the settings menus.
  13. Hello from the Dadlands

    Hey all, just logged on to check things out. My father ordered a Badlands last fall and got tired of waiting, now it's finally at the dealer and mine for the taking. I've wanted a 4Runner for years, but the baby bronc is far more practical as a daily driver, and costs about $10,000 less for a...
