Brett's lost track of all the Fords he's owned over the years and how much he's spent modifying them, but his current money pits include an S550 Mustang and 13th gen F-150.

  1. What the hell is going on at Ford.

    I guess Ford now stands for Ford Output Recalled Daily.

  2. ‘Affected vehicles: select 2023-2024 Ford Bronco Badlands and Sasquatch Package-equipped models with long flange Bilstein shock absorbers produced between September 23rd, 2020, and July 23rd, 2024.’ I just want to be sure that Brett stated this correctly. It seems odd that shocks produced in 2020 would end up in 2023-2024 Broncos. I have a 2022 non-Sasquatch 4D Bronco and it definitely has Bilstein shocks.

    1. It’s the vehicles produced in that date range, not shocks.

  3. I wouldn’t blame Ford in this case. Bilstein is one of the top off-road shock producers along with Fox, which are used in HOSS 3 and HOSS 4 (Raptor) Broncos.
