My favorite of the Bronco family is the 2-door - and I would take it with a manual as well. Color is good too - so I think you did pretty well. Right now - with my kids and long commute, I don't think the 2-door would work right now for me - but maybe in a few years...

I recently had Bridgestone ALENZA AS ULTRA tires installed - they also have a good snow/wet rating for an All Season tire. Just under 40,000 miles on car. I used to do Blizzaks on a second set of wheels (on cars I had before), but between our two family cars, that gets expensive. I have a 70+...

I just changed my rear axle (RDU) oil today. It takes about .8 of a quart of oil (Ford recommends to use Motorcraft XY75WQL SAE75W Disconnect Rear Drive unit Fluid - which is 45 bucks a quart from Amazon!). It was easy to do - you just need a 3/8 inch socket wrench (the drain and fill holes are...

Mine has done it since new - still does it at over 30K. Whenever the brakes are cold. Ceramics will be coming soon - but mainly to fix the massive front brake dust issue - I have to clean my front wheels every other week. Hope they help the rear moaning.

I have a set of lightweight composite plastic ramps. The Sport goes up the ramps with no drama - no problem. This makes it easy (but still time consuming with 13 fasteners) to remove the belly pan. My 1.5 has the metal oil pan - the oil drain tends to shoot the oil (like a firehose) backwards...

Mine does this (keeps the daytime running lights on sometimes after shutting down) - I do not even have my daytime running lights enabled (I disabled them in the settings). It seems like it happens most often when I turn the car on only to shut my windows and then turn it back off (without...

Reflectors are on the back - at night you can get hit sitting the wrong way.

I have a Big Bend - mine is pretty quiet at highway speeds, but I have a 70mile roundtrip commute on a highway with a 60mph speed limit - so I am usually running just under 70. My hood does flap a bit sometimes, but not enough to bother me. No noises like you describe. The factory continentals...

My early 22 has done it since new - with no sign of letting up. I tell people its a safety feature.

They had a brown color on the Sport for a while - I think it was during the first year. I have seen a few of them, but they are not common.

I guess I would say that I have seen a lot worse factory lug/jack wrench's. The Ford factory wrench may even work better than that Gorilla - during my recent flat, the car ended up really close to the ground and the Jack is almost flat to start off. The ground interferes with cranking the jack...

This may be a lame one, but I had a flat the other day on the highway. Cars whizzing by pretty close - I was wondering what I was in for. I popped open the rear hatch - getting the spare tire and jack out was easy - and keep in mind many new cars are coming without spare tires. My main shout out...

FYI - When I say tie it up, I mean that I want to keep my phone with me to use as a phone. With the MiFi, I can walk in a room (work or home), toss it on a table, and everyone has Wifi and I still have my phone on my person to use. I have used a MiFi for quite a few years - and they work great...

I wouldn't worry too much about the missing WiFi - mine BS came with it installed but I have never used it. To use it, I would have to buy an on-going subscription. If I have to get a separate subscription for a Wifi device, I prefer to use a mobile device like a Verizon MiFi (what I currently...

Adding to the previous comment - check your air filter - they may have checked or changed the air filter and the compartment may not be sealed (closed properly).

I like that Ford was kind enough to include a built in Fog Horn to alert people when I am backing up.

My water pump is being replaced next week (dripping but still drivable). I am at about 30K miles. Its on this forum in other places, but if your pump fails, be sure to get the newer pump (PN HX7Z-8501-B). I may ask to keep the old pump - I would like to take it apart to see what is going on...

I tend not to run my air conditioner much in the summer - and the Sport seems to buffet more than other cars I have had on the highway. I usually run on the highway with both rear windows half open and then crack the passenger front about an inch and the noise goes away. Experiment a bit, you...

Thanks for the info - took me a while to spot it on the bottom pic - sort of like where's Waldo...

When the dealer tells you that the howling brake noise while reversing is normal, they are actually not lying...;)
