    Nice rig! Coming from a Ford guy (I own a 2019 F450 Lariat and have always owned Fords for tow vehicles), I am deeply disappointed in the new Bronco. To me, it's a desperate attempt to make money on an iconic model by tweaking a new model vehicle (Ford Ranger). This is the same thing as Chevrolet bringing back the Blazer on a ridiculous unibody platform. It will be financially successful, but to me if it's got IFS, it's not a Bronco.

    And just think. You’ll probably never have to visit the dealer again. Unlike if you bought the bronco...

    He will (if he got the 2 years of maintenance included in his purchase). ;) But that is about it.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    Welcome, best choice you could make. The Runner will live forever.

    Very Sharp--I thought the Venture came with the Gunmetal color wheels as opposed to Black? Do they just let you choose whatever color TRD wheel you prefer? Sharp!

    Read up on dealer maintenance. Best to avoid at all costs, stripped skid plate bolts & oil drain plugs, cross threaded lug nuts cracked oil filter housing, body damage and the list goes on in hundreds of threads and its not just Toyota.

    That is what warranty is for. I would do it myself but $60+ time is not worth it. They break it they fix it. I have aftermarket skids so if they take that off and break it they can pay the $1k+ for parts. I am sure you look hard enough and you will find bad apples wherever you go though.

    In my experience time to do an oil change myself is waaaaay less than the time wasted driving to the dealer plus the ridiculous amount of time it takes them to do the work.

    Plus I know it's done right and I can use whatever oil I choose.

    Especially during these times it seems that we have extra time. That isn’t a bad idea. Plus every 10k miles for oil change. I will be there in about 1 more year.

    The specific dealership I have been working with for years. I have bought my last 4 cars there and they have never done me wrong, never messed up, and always do the job right. Just had my 2020 Sienna worked on and they replaced a part that my kid broke and they did it for free and the work was good. Even had a leaking shock on my 2011 Tundra and they replaced the whole suspension for 50% of the price. So this dealership has earned my trust. But planning on moving soon and I will be doing it myself because I don’t easily give my trust out.

    Your dealership is rare! I asked mine if I could supervise the oil change and said no. I asked if they could promise none of what I spoke of would happen and said no,lol
    Had a ford dealer ruin paint on a delivery of a new truck. Told them give me another truck and they said sorry, you signed the papers. Fast forward after the 3rd paint job and off and on 3 months in loaners the paint was flawless. I asked them to put on a lift and they ran it through a wash and trashed the paint. one month later it was fine...stupid me brought it back for oil. They added appropriately 13qts oil into the damn thing and and broke off a wheel stud when they brought it out. Never again, ever for me

    Ours 2 yrs later (bought 3/19) with Xpel. Just wash & dry. It takes about 3 weeks to "look" dirty unless there is snow. Hell, even heavy rain & wet snow just clean it off for us (seriously). Especially if it had recently been washed. 20210120_174040.jpg 20210120_174048.jpg 20210120_174127.jpg
