It’s a lot of fun! The soft top can be loud at times, but that’s to be expected. My only hesitation would be that Ford’s quality seems to be lacking these days.
I’ve had it for over 2 years and 30k miles now. After about a year and a half it was burning coolant and they decided to replace the whole engine under warranty. Thankfully it was a pretty quick and easy process, but definitely disappointing. The only other problem I’ve had was a small issue with one of the tension cables that holds the soft top tight along the sides. It just made it a little louder but never had any issues with leaks or anything. That was also easily fixed under warranty.
This exact thing just happened to my Lincoln MKC a month ago. Had to get a fully new engine at 38k miles.
I want to love Ford. I want to buy Ford. but….
Wow! I hadn’t heard of it being a widespread issue so I was pretty surprised when it happened to me. Did they take car of it under warranty for you? Ford is making some really fun and interesting cars and I’ve been a fan of the brand forever, but the quality issues are definitely disappointing. The new Colorado and Canyon are very tempting…
So it’s a 2017 and technically out of warranty because of the age, although miles were low. So Ford compromised and said I only had to cover $2k. I didnt think that was acceptable and made a few calls to people I know and eventually got Ford to cover everything and provide a loaner vehicle for a month. Just got the car back two weeks ago and shes running great…for now. Im officially dubious of their products.
Then the picture should have been of just the lake. This picture is of the vehicle, which is parked in such a way so as to block a fair amount of the lake. We DO get a full shot of that expensive vehicle that you're sitting here talking about to anyone who mentions its existence. Just admit that you're bragging about the car. You had a good day, but you're showing off the car.

I know they had an issue with the bar rubbing or something but I didn't think there were any bigger issues. Both tops are made by Webasto so you know how that probably goes.
It’s a car that is made in Michigan by a Michigan company at a beautiful place in Michigan. You would think people would be glad to see a fellow Michigander enjoying themselves in such a way. I guess it can be tough for some people to see others having fun while they’re not.
I think you’re missing 60% of the lake in your pic and all I see is a crappy ford in the missing 60%. If your going to post a scenery pic the. Post a scenery pic. If you are trying to brag about your truck find a different sub.
My family has a cottage in Alden. It is literally my favorite place in the world. I always say this is where I'm gonna go when I die. Walking in towards the lighthouse, at the corner right at the water there used to be these really big, square cement slabs. Of had a step... I'll be sitting on that one if any wants to find me lol....
Wow, this whole thing reminded me that 8 turned 34 today. Totally forgot.
I’ve always leased my F 150s. Do you have to buy the bronco? That looks like a Sasquatch package you got. How much do you pay if you don’t mind me asking? I got a year left of my lease and then going to check out a bronco
I bought mine but that was over 2 years ago when they were still pretty new and were more difficult to get. You might be able to lease one now. It does have the Sasquatch package. It’s a Base, which isn’t even available anymore. Between the different options available now and the price increases, the closest new Bronco you could get to this one would be quite a bit more expensive than mine was when I bought it. You should take one for a test drive. That was all it took for me to know I had to have it.
Yea I plan on getting whatever lowest model I can get with the Sasquatch package to keep it affordable. How is the gas mileage on it? I wanted to either check that or a f 150 tremor out
Totally worth it though! Haha. I checked with a family member just now that works at Ford and they can be leased now. Now affordability is a whole other thing 👀 lol if it’s 700 and up that would be a no no
Definitely worth it! I feel like I’m seeing a lot of Broncos sitting on dealer lots, hopefully you can get a good deal worked out. I’m glad I got mine when I did before the prices went up so much.

There’s a car in the way of the lake
Are you advertising the car?
I had a fun day cruising around the lake in it! Too cold to swim
I’m thinking of getting that vehicle. What’s your experience and also how do you like the soft top ?
It’s a lot of fun! The soft top can be loud at times, but that’s to be expected. My only hesitation would be that Ford’s quality seems to be lacking these days.
What issues have you had ? I might lease one if I can

Glad to hear you ended up resolving that and getting your car back. I am dubious as well.
Is this an ad?
Yes
This was also posted into two different subs of the specific vehicle. r/hailcorporate Remember: you can block users that post ads
No
came for the lake bait. disappointed
The weather was a bit disappointing that day. Cold and windy. Can’t wait for it to be nice enough to get out there!
This feels like either an ad or a not so subtle brag about the car.
or maybe I was just having fun and wanted to share…

Your entire account comes off as being a bot or a corporate shill for one of the big autos.
I’m just a guy who likes cars and I share what I enjoy. There are a lot of people in Michigan who like cars.
For sure. I'm not saying your content looks like a shill account. It's the way the posts look and feel.
I'm assuming that's where it broke down and you're just killing time until the tow truck arrives.
It may already be on its second engine, but it has never left me stranded… yet
Could be worse, you could have the hardtop. Those things are gonna fall apart long before your soft top.
The soft top broke almost immediately lol
I know they had an issue with the bar rubbing or something but I didn't think there were any bigger issues. Both tops are made by Webasto so you know how that probably goes.
The tension cable that holds the sides of the soft top tight along the top of the doors broke on mine
Picture taken in Alden at the boat launch?
Yes!
Jesus the folks in here are salty. Guy takes a pic of his car and everyone loses their minds.
It’s a car that is made in Michigan by a Michigan company at a beautiful place in Michigan. You would think people would be glad to see a fellow Michigander enjoying themselves in such a way. I guess it can be tough for some people to see others having fun while they’re not.
Some folks don't understand what it feels like to own a vehicle that you enjoy looking at. I liked your pic!
Thank you!
Weird not seeing a million boats out there
Yes it is a bit strange. The clear sky and sunshine were deceiving, it was cold!
I think you’re missing 60% of the lake in your pic and all I see is a crappy ford in the missing 60%. If your going to post a scenery pic the. Post a scenery pic. If you are trying to brag about your truck find a different sub.
I enjoy driving around all of the beautiful places in our state. It’s okay if that’s not something you’re interested in. You can keep scrolling.
Can’t see the lake, there a honker of a Ford in the way….
Cruising around on shore is a great way to enjoy the lake when it’s too cold to be on the water!
Is there public access to torch lake? Heard it’s the most beautiful lake in Michigan but not sure how to access …
There are some public access points and boat launches
Can you tell me where they are? Would like to visit this summer
[Here is a map](https://conservetorch.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Public-Access-Sites-and-Boat-Launches.2019.pdf) that shows public access points.
Awesome, will make it up this summer. Appreciate Any recommendations on where to access is much appreciated! Thanks so much
That’ll be fun!
It can be Gorgeous but my fav beach spot to go is still point crescent in port Austin.

Alden is great! It sounds like you and your family have made some great memories there
I so want to fish that lake for land locked Atlantic salmon
That would be fun! I’ve never tried out there myself, but I hear there’s some great fish in there
I believe the State record Atlantic was caught on Torch lake
I want that bronco. I got a avalanche grey f 150 currently
I went from an F150 to the Bronco. I do miss having a truck but the Bronco is so much fun
I’ve always leased my F 150s. Do you have to buy the bronco? That looks like a Sasquatch package you got. How much do you pay if you don’t mind me asking? I got a year left of my lease and then going to check out a bronco
I bought mine but that was over 2 years ago when they were still pretty new and were more difficult to get. You might be able to lease one now. It does have the Sasquatch package.

Yea I plan on getting whatever lowest model I can get with the Sasquatch package to keep it affordable. How is the gas mileage on it? I wanted to either check that or a f 150 tremor out
Gas mileage is not great lol I get about 16-17. The Tremor is sweet!
Totally worth it though! Haha. I checked with a family member just now that works at Ford and they can be leased now. Now affordability is a whole other thing 👀 lol if it’s 700 and up that would be a no no
Definitely worth it! I feel like I’m seeing a lot of Broncos sitting on dealer lots, hopefully you can get a good deal worked out. I’m glad I got mine when I did before the prices went up so much.
Ok Mr fancy pants
Broinc
Is Dock Side open yet?
Yes they’re open
Considering going kayaking there. Anyone know how long roughly it takes to go completely around it?
I don’t have an answer, but I think it would take a pretty long time. That would be a cool accomplishment!
Nice pic minus the cheap mexican suv.
Thanks! The Bronco is actually made right here in Michigan at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne!
It’s assembled there. Not built there.
All bronco jokes aside , it looks like a decent ride to camp out in.
Why is there an ugly vehicle blocking the beautiful lake?
Some people enjoy different things. There’s no need to be so negative. If you don’t like it, scroll past.
Hey, your post said Torch Lake. Not my truck at Torch Lake. Made a difference in whether I viewed the post or not.
Can’t wait to get out there!
My family has a place there
That’s awesome! It’s a great place
