    I hope most of my Big Bend is aluminum

    Wow are the chips getting bad and many. Hood and roof over windshield. The piece below the grill and the front edge of the fenders next to the headlight surround. Even the little edge right above the windshield. Hope it holds up. Just an observation.

    Giving credit when due - slippery mode in snow

    We had a little weather event here in New England yesterday. I left home and it was just raining. The rain snow line was very sharp. Within 8 miles, snow covered roads and horrible visibility. Put the Sport in slippery mode. Drove to north central Massachusetts. Conditions deteriorate by the...

    Any protection you can put on is highly recommended. Pictures tell the story. 33,000 miles. Roof and hood.

    Driving with rear hatch window open

    Does anyone? Used to do it with 05 Escape. No problem ever. Just don’t think the struts as well as the glass as well as the body sheet metal is as sturdy as that 17 year old Escape was. Your thoughts. Thanks

    Rear wiper blade replacement

    The only place I found to have one was the dealer. You have to yank it like you mean it. You won’t break it even though you think you might. Under $20

    I picked up my off the lot Big Bend. Still watch the movie on start up and no complaints from me. It has performed well in snow, mud, rain, and averaging 29 mpg while driving like it’s stolen per the computer ( I’m not doing math). Now to touch up the couple of hood chips

    “Fabric” wheel wells

    Holy crap. Who thought this crap would be a good idea. My work brings me to some sloggy, slimy, yucky, super thick muddy job sites. Even multiple trips through undercarriage wash doesn’t help. I’m afraid to crawl under and look at the “fabric” shelf and what it has collected. I guess I need a...

    Still don’t see many

    Just drove to Florida from New England and back(in the explorer)and saw exactly one big bend Bronco sport in a parking lot in Florida and two Broncos, one on a truck and one on the road in PA. Both 4 door soft roof models. Where are they all?

    Still loving it

    Still relatively obscure vehicles. The snooty exclusivity is still kind of cool. The stupid movie that comes on when entering the vehicle. I always make it a point to show it to new passengers. They are all either being polite or think it’s as cool as I think it is. The goofy shift knob that...

    Anyone have any idea why?

    Big Bend. Has blind spot and cross traffic monitoring, rear camera mandatory by big brother also one touch DOWN for drivers window but no one touch up(oh the humanity I have to hold that button for 2 seconds) and no rear objects sensors. Can’t possibly be that much more money to put these two...

    Did I get an underhanded jab?

    Had to go to the big city yesterday. Parking meter roulette at 4 minutes per 25 cents and hoping the meter works is no fun. Bite the bullet and Into the garage. Overall cheaper than a ticket and easier than fighting a phony ticket. (Yes it happens frequently) Parking garage is full so have to...

    Uses for Molle straps?

    I find these things on the seat backs to be more of a pita to use for anything useful. They seem very narrow. Help me like and use these things. Only use I’ve found so far is for pens.
