New BS owner

Picked up today. Ordered April 30 this year. Long wait but we’ll worth it. Already installed roof cross bars, fender flares and bug guard. Glad to be hear and to learn about these vehicles.

Can’t tell from the pic, which one is it? Also do you like how the Fender Flares look with the stock wheels and tires?

Also love the color and welcome to the club.

Big Bend. Flares are nice, but now need bigger tires. Lol

the flares almost make ‘em look like a different (meaner) truck with just 15min of effort. I am glad I did them to mine.

Nice. I ordered them with mine. Not sure if I am going to like the silver hardware might have to make them black. Mine isn’t even built yet and I’m already looking at wheels and tires. Lol

Welcome to the club. I haven't seen this color in person yet. Looks great in this picture.

No worries after a while you'll be able to glance at a sport and know which trim right away.

Looks great! Welcome!

Where in NC are you?

BIL is in the furniture industry around High Point, I think. My wife is taking her mom to a Girls of '56 (JMU) roommate get-together in Williamsburg next weekend, then heading to OBX for a week.

... to learn about these vehicles ...

You can download the owner's manual from Ford's web site to your phone and computer.

I did that with my '22 Escape. I also downloaded the '22 BS owner's manual to learn about differences between the Escape and BS while waiting for the '23 owner's manual for my wife's ordered BS to be available.

I've been curious about the differences between the escape and the bs since the full size bronco owners who look down on the sports sometimes say they're just escapes. From what I can tell as a casual observer, they aren't even close to the same car. Just the same platform. So maybe in normal or eco goat mode they might have similar rides, but I would expect the features etc past that to be different.

OP, your new BS looks great! The color and your additions look great! I like those flares more than I thought I would. Wow!
I've been thinking about adding a bug deflector to mine (which is still on order and months from being delivered) to protect paint and windshield.

I have an older Escape, I think of my 2021 Bronco sport as an Escape on Steroids, very good Steroids mind you.
They share only the chassis and engine I think.
If you’ve got the 1.5L like I do the GOAT modes are just fun to play with bells and whistles.
If you know how to control a vehicle in adverse conditions they are not a necessity.
As you rack up miles the thing grows on you big time in so many ways.
Ford single handedly made the entire small sport Ute category obsolete.
Most of the other makers are scrambling around in the back room rearranging dash switches, reshaping fenders and coming up with new tail light, grills and head lights. All redressing the same old dated vehicles. The Dreaded CVT is still out there while our AWD system is really better than anything else in this segment.

The big bronco is a ranger with a boxy body. Thats not a bad thing without the ranger platform the big bronco would not exist.

When ford developed the 2020 escape platform the sport was baked into that clean sheet all new design. So while the sport escape share platform the sport was not an afterthought slapped together type of design.
