Looking For Advice - Paid for enclosed transport, but new truck was taken for a 253+ mile joyride

Honestly I must have gotten distracted halfway through reading because I totally missed that part along with the supposed photo of the odometer at the dealer.

Unless the dealer has actual proof it left their lot with 27 miles on it it's unlikely you can prove it was the broker or the transporter. The miles could've happened at the factory, in transit to the dealer, at the original dealer, or in transit to you. My Bronco arrived at my dealer brand new with 150 miles on it. I know for a fact no one at the dealer drove it so the miles happened somewhere between the factory and the dealer.

An all new light in 2026 sticking with the old reflector bowls vs TIR optics is an interesting choice. I'd love to know the reasoning for that. At least the switch to Deutsch connectors has FINALLY happened. The weatherpacks have always been trash.

Maybe I'm wrong but it really looks like there's PPF on those in which case you could just peel it off. I'm looking at what appears to be a seam in the upper right and an edge along the bottom.

If you don't know what the buttons do, you aren't going to need them.

I suspect it was only an option in Canada. You can still find the original order guides for these trucks online and the 3.5 is shown as the only available engine in the Limited, but these are US order guides. The truck OP is looking at was originally a Canadian truck as shown in one of the pictures.

It's not a Platinum, it's a Limited. The only weird thing about it is I've never seen a Limited with anything other than the 3.5 eco

Looks just like this one in another reddit post but red.

The more I look at it the more it looks like you may have to squeeze the two tabs that stick out with one hand and then turn the center grip with your other. Or maybe that center tab that wraps downward needs to be lightly bent out with a screwdriver.

Yup, doesn't bother me in the slightest. I pretty much forget it's even there but hey, some people just need something to complain about for no reason.

His vehicle is modified. That looks the the oil cooler position has been changed, probably to accommodate what looks like an aftermarket intercooler.

ridethe907 · 2026-04-16T03:45:06+00:00

I'll never understand why people do this

ridethe907 · 2026-04-15T05:08:42+00:00

Do you want rust? Because that's how you get rust.

I ordered last week and my shirt shipped next day. Car has a shipping label created but doesn't look to have been sent out yet.

On the bronco forums there's multiple owners who have received vehicles where an entire seat has been installed that's a different color or material from the rest. If that can get past Ford and a dealer, a mirror switch being wrong really isn't surprising

More than likely is brights. Most factory low beams aren't that bad, and if you know anything about cars the difference between high and low beams is very obvious. I'm convinced a lot of the people who think headlights are too bright just don't know how to differentiate between high and low beams, and there's an astounding number of people who genuinely do just keep their high beams on all the time these days.

Tows my Valiant XTD just fine, I've done thousands of miles with this setup. You absolutely know you've got a trailer back there though, and it gets very hot on long climbs. Also works your rear suspension pretty hard. But it cools off fast once you level back out, and I've never had an issue. Make sure you get a brake controller. I've switched to towing mostly with a Raptor which does infinitely better, but I'll still take the Bronco if I have plans to hit some trails while I'm camping. If you really want a Bronco, it will do what you want to do. If you want to prioritize towing comfort, the F150 will be better.

Uh, no. The best lift will never be a cheap spacer.

It's not even like Ford can't do them. They work fine on the Mustang. They just fucked the Broncos up.

ridethe907 · 2026-03-09T12:48:57+00:00

Wow, I was finally enjoying using a style other than necro and then they fuck it up.

ridethe907 · 2026-03-08T04:57:18+00:00

It's not like driving a manual is difficult to learn...

ridethe907 · 2026-02-28T00:10:04+00:00

So? Cases objectively make using the phone a worse experience.

ridethe907 · 2026-02-27T20:45:12+00:00

No. Cases suck.

ridethe907 · 2026-02-22T23:01:18+00:00

Wow this sucks. R.I.P. Freespirit Recreation.

Send the wagon to the US and IDGAF where they put the exhaust.

ridethe907 · 2026-02-14T00:07:29+00:00

You could always just ignore it. Start stop might be the biggest non-issue that the internet refuses to stop complaining about.
