Just about 1200 miles on it now, no issues, had the top off in zero degree weather for a Christmas Parade. It's a fantastic daily driver. Going to try towing my side by side on Sunday, picked up a new hitch that clears the spare tire. The amount of attention it gathers is a whole thing in itself...geeze

Today marks 6 months and 3756 miles since delivery! I can honestly say it's been fantastic, zero issues. It's nimble, quick, smooth and FUN! we still haven't hit a 60f day yet but I've had the tops off.

I've daily driven it almost every day since getting it and it's so comfortable. I do love jumping back in the f150 or Excursion with a little more elbow room, but thats part of the charm of this thing. I can't help but smile every time I'm behind the wheel.

Very Nice!! I have an 2018 F150 a Lariat FX4 and a 2020 Edge Titanium. They are after me at my dealership to come and trade. I drove a Ranger, Lariat FX4 and a Bronco.actually the same Package as you have. The Ranger road like a CJ Jeep very rough. The Bronco was a joy to drive, more comfortable than a Jeep and easier to get into . I'm 68 health sliding down and really don't need a truck anymore. I have Kids and grandkids that will haul anything I need, unload it, and most times bring in / install it. So if I decide to trade again it will be for a Bronco, I think I would like to have one more Fun vehicle.

Time for a little update! I found painted standard Outerbanks fender flares, ill run those in the summer. I went a month with the top off, our rainy season started early so June was the last time it was off.

At 5200 miles I started getting a burning oil smell at stop lights. Even had visible smoke coming from under the hood. I scheduled a service appointment and didn't drive the truck much. Dropped it off August 2nd. I didn't get it back until August 26th. It was a bit of a nightmare. Leaky valve cover gasket and replaced coolant hose off the turbo due to contamination and swelling.
















Just rolled 5700 miles today, really enjoying it!

The Bronco is trucking right along. Almost 11k miles and no new issues since the valve cover gasket saga of last year. Weather hasn't been great here this summer but I did get the entire top off for a couple days. Otherwise loving it, I did put some GoRhino electric step boards on it...best mod yet!

Loving that blue.... Curious as to how th under carriage is holding up in AK? I assume they salt the roads pretty heavy up there? Any rust on the steel components? I've thought about getting ours Line-xed before winter.

We actually don't salt/deice in my city much at all. Between moose wanting to lick it off the roads and contamination to salmon streams its not really used. The DOT does use it on the state highway system at times, not constantly. So the undercarriage looks great. Hell my 1997 F150 snow plow truck has zero rust and 116k miles.
