The Ford Bronco comes standard with a 7 speed manual - but I’d bet most folks pay the $1,800 upgrade for the 10speed automatic. Could be we wrong. Bronco is the only current Ford with a manual. If I bought a Bronco - it would be auto. I’m pigeon toed with a bum right shoulder:)

This watch will perfectly compliment my lamb skin driving gloves & velocity blue Lobo. Plus 5 horsepower too!

Living in the high desert of AZ - temperatures rarely get below freezing. Below freezing with precipitation is even more rare. Maybe one day every 2 years? Wise folks try not to drive until it melts. Same day usually - maybe icy for a day or two later… With the cooler ambient air, however, I...

The transmission fluid in the eCVT acts more as a coolant than a lubricant. Vice versa for the EB. “Coolant” does not pick up as much crud as a lubricant does…

Look at the picture - it is the standard bumper. I think the only place to find a Lobo rear bumper is at the assembly plant or the supplier. Or a junkyard:)

Let’s just say Ranko is the Tow Champ on the forum. Has towed more weight than the 2nd to 10th place combined;) He does seem to maintain his truck very well - which accounts for his success I think.

I trust your judgement - so I vote you go for it!

Good deal. Not a great deal though by any means. Don’t pay any dealer prep or options they added. $2,000 below MSRP plus sales tax OTD. Leave your phone number if they don't accept. Be your adorable self.

Smoother ride but a bit worse mpg due to the extra weight. Don’t trust your computer’s mpg calculations:) I would have gone with the beefy boys myself. Here is a comparison - 225/65R17 vs 235/65R17

Mr May was surprised & impressed by the “one foot” driving. The accelerator pedal acting as a brake also (regenerative). The brake pedal only needed for “emergency” stops. Won’t be long before I’m following a Slate on the road - and I’m curious how the taillights will activate. It is somewhat...

Ecoboost = EB Just like yours. I think the vent hose covers the fill hole for transmission fluid. Although don’t quote me until I finish doing it someday. Not going to twist on it until I find out!

My 25 EB is not dripping. I did stick a pipe cleaner in there - see below:) I plan on doing a DIY drain & flush in the next few months to get the break-in wear metals out. Or at least 4qts worth! edit - the black fluid is transmission fluid. Started out reddish I think?

Please understand, dearest Chops, that Ford has well over 10 million part numbers. Mistakes are bound to happen. Only a relatively few Lobo rear bumpers have been ordered since its introduction. Maybe in another year or two the appropriate Ford employee will correct the boo boo. In the...

The Lobo bumper has its own part#. The diagram on the Ford site shows a Lobo bumper. But order that Lobo bumper Part# and you will get a standard non-Lobo bumper. I do not understand how the Ford Inventory Control System (FICS) works - but I’m surprised they have not fixed this bug since I was...

FYI - the aftermarket steel shield vs the OEM on a 25 EB:

The Ford part# for the Lobo rear bumper is linked to the standard bumper. Every time you order the “Lobo” back bumper you will receive the “stock” one. How do I know this? Because my frustrated body shop told me. Body Shop eventually located a pristine Lobo rear bumper in a Texan junkyard -...

Hybrid HFx5 transmissions are a completely different beast than the OP’s 8F35. Many differences of course, but one difference is the electronic bits in the the Hybrid may be covered by a 10 year warranty. Not so with the 8F35…

I gleaned the following info from google. If you are interested in your 8F35 EB transmission - good info. If you are not a google fan - please resist your urge to complain. Might be errors in the info? Five most common failure modes on the 8F35. 1 - Planetary Carrier and Needle Bearing Failure...

What does Ford mean by “SSM”? Google tells me - “TSB” & “SSM”: “TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) Definition: An official instruction guide for diagnosing and fixing a known, recurring issue on a specific vehicle model, system, or component. [1, 2] What it includes: Exact symptom descriptions...

“Extended Crank” is a one symptom of a defective high pressure fuel pump in an EB. What does your oil cap smell like;) See this SSM…
