Hello all. I have been considering a new Bronco for a couple of years now. It will come down to a 2-door manual Badlands with Sasquatch, HOSS 3.0, Lux, and other goodies… or a Raptor. I test drove a used 2025 Raptor after making nice with the salesman, who was gushing over my pristine Focus RS. The Raptor was quite a ride, but I don’t know if I can get back into an automatic after driving only stick for nearly 25 years now. I haven’t tried a manual Bronco or any configuration of the 2.3 for that matter. But a manual 2-door Badlands specc’d the way I want it comes in $20k below a Raptor the way I would configure it (Code Orange and leather at the very least). So the money is a factor but it’s not everything. I like having the final versions of cars. I bought my 2018 Focus RS for that reason. 1 of just 1,000 for the final model year. Among the last of a dying breed of manual hot hatches. I may have to sell it to get a Bronco but we’ll see. It’s got everything I ever wanted in a car: six-speed manual, turbo, all-wheel drive, fast, fun, everyday usability. Ideally I get the final 2-door manual Bronco. That would seal the deal for me. I don’t know if that’s a couple years off or will Ford continue to produce the configuration into the next generation, which will be around the end of the decade I assume. I’m waiting to see what 2027 has to offer. Glad to be here! 🚙 💨

Hello all! I wanted to pop on here and see if anyone has experienced what I’m experiencing now with my 2019 Fusion 1.5 ecoboost. I noticed a faint rattling noise under the hood a couple of weeks ago when I remote started the car. I should mention though, I’ve never heard the sound until after I took it to my local Ford dealership to get an oil change. Anyways, the first time I heard it, I had no choice but to drive it home after work. But by the time I got home I didn’t hear the noise anymore. Then a couple of days later after I had been driving for a while (warm engine) I noticed the sound again. It’s not a very obvious “SOMETHING’S WRONG” sound but I noticed it and got concerned. I took it to the dealership and they’re saying I need a new turbocharger. But I watched tons of videos of what bad turbos sound like on ecoboost engines and mine doesn’t sound as bad as those in the videos I’ve seen. Again, mine is a faint loose/rattling/valvetrain sound, not so much a loud metallic rattle. Unless they’re in fact correct, and I just caught it early? Thanks in advance for your help/expertise!
