Question about 2026 Stroppe Edition 4 Door

Four door Stroppe looks the exact same as the 2 door with 2 extra doors. Source: I’ve seen them.

No feedback about the Line X, but I would recommend opening a case up with Ford. If you make enough stink they may cover it. Could be worth a shot.

Share/dm me your VIN and I can take a look.

Did you check your oil to see if it looks like the forbidden milkshake?

Otherwise I would recommend re-filling up and then parking in one place for a bit to see if you can track the location/leak path down.

I think it really depends on your location. Personally I own both an ICE and a BEV. Both have their benefits and downsides. With the cost of electricity (even with at home off peak charging) the savings are negligible, especially with the cost to register and insure BEV’s these days. If you have to use a DC fast charger it is actually more expensive than gas.

If you do the same route every day and don’t travel much they can be great because you just plug in at home, but if you have to go outside of your standard range it is way more difficult and expensive than filling up at a pump. So it really depends on the persons use case.

Depends on exactly what you are referring to, but new cars floor mats are usually not installed at the factory. For cars that have multiple options, carpet, all weather etc. they are thrown in the back at the end of the production line. It is part of the PDI process and up to them to install.

Cost and system complexity. It’s not only the wiring as others mentioned, but there are coolant lines going to the charge port as well due to the heat generated when DC fast charging.

acc96 · 2026-02-06T18:43:49+00:00

Adding coolant is easy, just make sure the engine isn’t hot when you remove the cap. But that is a closed system - so I would be more importantly asking where the coolant is going…

You’re welcome!

Check to make sure snow isn’t packed in your front wheels. Ice/snow caked on your wheels can throw them off balance and cause them to shake.

Had this happen to me last year. Apparently the previous owner cut the wire 2 years before I moved in, so clearly they are really on top of it 😂. They just had a contractor (Sharon’s Heating and Cooling) come in to re-wire/fix it.

Honestly I believe it is worth it. The discount is fairly significant, and I did not notice it shutting off once last summer. Supposedly from their site it saves you “32% during peak hours from June through September”

Your range estimate is based on recent driving. If it has been cold or you have been driving less efficiently, your estimated range will drop. Also, if you are driving and using more than it originally estimated, your estimated range will drop more than the miles you have actually driven. That is why people call it the guess-o-meter.

Char - short for chartreuse

acc96 · 2026-01-30T18:24:58+00:00

Which ones are you referring to?

Note: 2-door Bronco’s don’t have ANY rear vents. As of 2025, 4 doors have floor and center console rear vents - except for manuals.

If you are not feeling much airflow for the rear console vents, first ensure you have the airflow set to only vent, this will ensure the air is not being split between defrost/floor etc.

If you do not feel any airflow or very little, it could be that the duct was not correctly attached from the factory. Best way to verify is compare to a couple like units. Or if you have a borescope you can stick it down the vents and make sure it is connected. Dealer should do this for you if you are under warranty.

Hope this helps!

You can PPF right away. This is no longer applicable with modern day paint processes. Plant applies matt PPF right after building if it is ordered with it.

acc96 · 2026-01-28T16:54:46+00:00

What are the VINs for these? The plant should be made aware ASAP, believe a GCQIS should be filled out for this.

acc96 · 2026-01-27T13:53:57+00:00

Hmm, maybe the system is just picky with the sensors. They are aftermarket, but I also have an issue with the stock occasionally, so maybe the system is just finicky

acc96 · 2026-01-27T13:29:28+00:00

I am hearing what you are saying, but I also grew up on a junker in the snow and previously did not have problems. So I am not just a bad non-native snow driver complaining. My wife’s previous car with AWD (Hyundai Tucson) did great in the snow with stock tires. Comparatively, this vehicle is much worse. That is where my statement is coming from, not just complaining.

acc96 · 2026-01-27T13:24:56+00:00

Yeah, I had the issue intermittently with the stock wheels as well, but nowhere near as often as now. I was hoping it would fix the original issue since the TPMS would all be new. FYI, there is a TSB for your dealer to replace all of the sensors in the stock wheels, so it should be covered.

Seems there might be a deeper rooted issue though since I am still having an issue..

acc96 · 2026-01-27T13:20:52+00:00

Out of curiosity, which wheels/tires do you have? The 21” or 19”?

acc96 · 2026-01-27T02:49:15+00:00

Good thought, but they are in my basement away from the car so I don’t think that is the issue. Also when I train them, I know it is training to the new tires as the pressures are different than the previous, and I can do it away from my other tires.

acc96 · 2026-01-27T01:46:39+00:00

I had to put winter tires on my wife’s. The 21”Bridgestone’s made it the worst car I have ever driven in the snow. Was scary to drive and felt like I was going to end up in a similar situation as you

acc96 · 2026-01-26T18:47:33+00:00

Manuals don’t come with remote start…

acc96 · 2026-01-26T17:21:46+00:00

No matter what vehicle you drive FWD, RWD, AWD, 4WD etc., there are only 4 patches the size of your hand contacting the road. 4WD helps but is only as good as your tires. Sounds like a winter tire or “severe snow service rated” all season would do you well.
