Ford : Bronco Sport First, let me just say that you'll get a very honest opinion of this Bronco and feel free to check my over 2,200 all positive comments in my feedback profile. Secondly, I'll be up front and tell you that this Bronco was up for 29K and I ended up purchasing it as a frame off restored, "turn key" vehicle. Here's what really irked me and needs to be finished: The gauge cluster was rebuilt, but he speedometer was obviously not hooked up The high/low light switch is just dangling by a wire and needs to be mounted (see picture) The rubber seals needs to be installed on the doors The driver's door doesn't have an arm rest (I was supposed to receive it in the mail, but nothing has come) The back seat has no arm rests (Also supposedly in the mail) The new gas tank wasn't tightened down (I'll tighten the strap myself) A knob fell off on the floor (I'll put that back on with an allen wrench) I'd repaint the doors, as they are a shade off the rest of the truck The emergency brake wasn't hooked up (he told me it just needed to welded back on the frame) He didn't attach the passenger side wiper arm (I do have it thankfully!) I know this is all small potatoes stuff for those who love, drive and fix Bronco's, but I'm only the first two of those things and thought I was getting a truck that was thoughtfully restored. Quite honestly, it seems to have been slapped together for a quick sale. What a shame, it's really a nice truck that should have received better treatment in the restoration process. Okay that written, here's what was done in the restoration process: New Original color Sequoia Brown base/ clear coat paint 302 with Edelbrock intake and 4 barrel carb B.C. Broncos shorty headers with Magnaflow exhaust B.C. Broncos A.C. Rhino Lined floors in matching Sequoia Brown color Newly recovered parchment colored front and rear seat New windshield and rubber New Rampage "spice" colored soft top Custom front and rear bumpers with tire carrier Pro Comp Wheels and BFG AT2 Tires 31" HID Projector Headlights with angel eyes and devil eyes New Parchment seat belts Wild Horses 3.5" suspension lift and 1" body lift New "ventless" hood New tail light, turn signal lenses and rebuilt gauge cluster New window track and felt kit from Wild Horses Rebuilt Vent Windows Power Disc Brakes As you can see in the pictures, this Bronco was a frame off restoration and the frame was beautifully powder coated and you can see how solid the body is, including the uncut fenders! The motor runs strong with no leaks or smoke and she starts, stops, shifts and tacks down the road with no issues at all. It runs so great and has so much potential, I was considering taking it to Brian at Build a Bronco in Albion and asking him to finish the truck and put a hard top on it. In fact, I do love all the options, including the brand new air conditioning unit, power disc brakes and power steering, as it's a tough combo to find in the early year Broncos. In addition, there's all new bushings on the front end, the hood was actually installed with nice hydraulic lifts and the interior looks great. Someone who is willing to do the finishing touches will certainly be getting a Bronco that worth well into the 30's, as it will need nothing once it's finished.

Editors' Picks February 2021 | Ford F-150, Genesis GV80, Mazda CX-30 and more

Wed, Mar 10 2021

If we’ve driven and reviewed it, thereÂ’s an Autoblog Rating for it. ItÂ’s been over two years since we launched a new rating system to help you evaluate cars at a glance. We tweaked and improved it along the way and quickly arrived at a consistent process for giving each and every car on sale today a fair score. Cars that are exemplary or stand out in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. Every car we rate gets a score from 1 to 10, making it easy for you to tell if itÂ’s a car worth pursuing and possibly purchasing. YouÂ’ll find the scores of previously-rated cars attached toward the top of our written reviews. For example, the Bronco SportÂ’s rating can be found here. The Acura TLXÂ’s rating is in this post, and the Nissan RogueÂ’s rating is right here. There are hundreds of examples to be found. The above examples make up the most natural ways to find the Autoblog rating when researching for your next car, but starting today, weÂ’re going to begin calling out each new set of Editors' Picks per month in their own breakout stories. This will put the newest and most recently refreshed cars on sale on a pedestal for you to see which ones are worth your while. WeÂ’ll typically rate anywhere between 5-10 new cars per month, so you can count on just a select few from those to make this list. Expect to see this recurring ratings post each month going forward, and read on for FebruaryÂ’s EditorsÂ’ Picks.   2021 Genesis GV80 2021 Genesis GV80 View 18 Photos Quick take: The stylish GV80 offers useful safety features, compelling design and sporty dynamics to push it near the top of the segment. Genesis takes risks with this aggressive crossover, and the result is a luxurious vehicle that is rewarding to drive. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Lincoln Aviator, Volvo XC90, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, Acura MDX, Lexus RX Pros: Beautiful design, good road manners, awesome value Cons: Small third row and cargo space, less comfortable standard suspension  From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — “The GV80 is a hugely important vehicle for Genesis. It makes a style statement, has an elegant interior and is a compelling all-round execution. It looks like a Bentley, and I give Genesis props for taking some risks with the GV80 and largely pulling it all off.

Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
