    47.5 MPG on Big Bend using Eco Mode 🍃

    The best MPG I have ever achieved was about 26-27 on the HWY driving at 70 to 80 mph...added some cross bars to my side bars and haven't seen anything close to that since....gotta admit I'm skeptical pf those folks citing 30-40 plus mpg, but I guess if I drove in ECO mode and kept everything...

    Factory Installed Rubber floorboards...

    Maybe not all Bronco editions came with rubber flooring underneath the fabric matts...these are NOT removable---it is a liner built into the vehicle (see pic)...they would have to be cut out... Flash sorta washes out the image but I think you can se that there is rubber underneath the floor...

    Factory Installed Rubber floorboards...

    Your thoughts on these? Are they low quality that will wear through soon (how thick and durable are they and can they be replaced by Ford)? Has anyone supplemented these with aftermarket products such as WeatherTech? It was awesome of Ford to think of this but did they go on the cheap when...
