New Lobo Owner

[mptlobo]

I've had my Lobo for about a month now. Bought the Lobo High and absolutely love it. Coming from a 2021 Bronco Sport 1.5L BB. 10 recalls in 3.5 years, was time to get something else. Was looking at the Mavericks when they first came out but was hard to get at the time so I settled on a Bronco Sport. Love everything about the Lobo so far. Might get springs to level the whole truck. Added Rokblotz rally mud flaps and will be adding a hard tonneau cover soon. Opted for the 19" spoke wheels. Will be planning a trip to the Dragon in TN. I've done it with a Fiat 500 Sport and twice on a motorcycle.

The Lobo looks so clean with everything body colored! Also, the traditional spoked wheels suit it better than those turbine ones. You'll enjoy it in the long run. Plenty of power and torque, it's fun to drive, handles good and gets respectable fuel economy despite not being the hybrid.

I had a 2023 BS BB and had some recalls on it and problems with it. Bad rattles in the dash, system off to save battery would come up in the cold weather[got no recall for that] and the fuel gauge would only register 7/8's of a tank not full. I had enough and traded it in with only 6,600 miles on it for the 2025 AWD XLT Maverick I have now with the 2.0 EB in it and couldn't be happier since I had a bunch of F-150's before the BS BB. I should have looked into the Maverick when I got the BS BB but like You said they weren't easy to get in 2023 either IIRC. And I couldn't haul 30 1.5 cubic feet bags of mulch in the BS BB. Last year I had the neighbor haul mulch for me in his Silverado this year I didn't have to.

Great now My Maverick has a rattle/knocking sound coming from the passenger side dash area since it got cold outside 20-30 degrees. But sounds like it gets quieter or goes away once the inside of the Maverick warms up.

Good luck with your lobo it looks great, I went to my dealer to order one driving a 22 XLT FX4 and loved it, wanted a lobo, they had a black 25 Lariat in front with all the packages, sunroof, black package, 4KTow, Hybrid am 74 didn't want to wait for Lobo am weak, waited 8 months for my 22, I bought the Lariat have 3k miles on it, love it, But if am still around in 28 am getting a Lobo, you only live once, don't care about the hybrid only drive 5k a year and prefer the ECO. was your truck in stock or did you order it. Wait time?

nice! I've been looking at those mudflaps but was wondering about build quality? (they're a bit salty)

I would recommend, and I would do it again on my next vehicle.

I've ran RBs on my previous Focus ST, and liked how they held up over ~4 years of use. On the Focus, they scraped on hard/full compressions, but they were a great indicator of clearance on a low sitting car. Just some scraped flap rubber, otherwise they stayed in place, and did their job (kept rocks/sand off the lower panels, and kept spray/mud off the doors.

I put RBs on my Lobo before it left the dealers lot. For paint protection (rocks/sand). Have not had a flap scrape on the Lobo yet. And I've pushed it hard into some bumpy compressions on the paved roads.

Install them, and forget about them. And be rewarded by a cleaner vehicle with fewer paint chips or sand blasting on your lower panels. And I personally like the look, but I like Rally cars. They'll become even more useful when I find a good gravel road to thrash..

I haven't had any issues with the mudflaps. Made in the USA and build quality is excellent. Comes with all the hardware needed and quick delivery.
