so I’m trying to decide what trim levels of the sixth GEN to get. I’ve test driven off-road premium that seems pretty pretty dang nice. My my thought is probably 90-95% of my time will be spent on tarmac with an occasional spirited cornering and the other few percent off-road not that I am crazy...

with your dogs in the back do you drive with the back window open, or is the general consensus is that’s not a good idea because all of the exhaust coming in?

I find that I have a preference for a higher viewing angle. When I sit in the driver seat seat, I find that the new Land Cruiser and the fifth GEN version of the forerunner both enable me to do that and still have the steering wheel play that allows me to see the dials. but in all likelihood if...

wish the bronco had a greater towing capacity

does anyone know if the steering column goes up higher with the manually adjusted control rather than the powered control?

So I'm in the paralysis by analysis stage...driven both...know most of the specs on the various trims available on both, watched countless video reviews and realized every vehicle is a compromise... With that said I'm wondering if there are any 6th gen owners wish they had bought the 5th gen...

that’s good to hear, I find that the VHF and above frequencies aren’t affected quite so much as the HF frequencies, but thanks for your input.

something related to the radio install I’m wondering to those who have done it. Have you experienced any excessive RF noise? I passed a Tesla truck yesterday and it completely wiped out the HF spectrum on my radio. So I’m wondering, how difficult is it gonna be to create a clean RF environment...

will let you know if/when I end up with one...thanks

my plan is for my KW ts-480 with an ATAS-120 screwdriver antenna mounted high on the back right corner … then buy a new 2m with it mounted somewhere else with its antenna mounted on the back left corner … too much fun! would like to hear and see pictures of where you’re mounting your stuff.

so it looks good, but I can’t figure out how the main part of the bracket the big wide piece is attached to the dash something I gotta find out
