New 22 Badlands owner

[Cactus22]

Hello everyone,

I had been watching the Bronco space since the moment I heard the big Bronco came with a manual transmission. Unwilling to wait months/years plus ADM for a vehicle, I looked at the Sport. I found/drove/bought mine at a dealer an hour away who actually had a car on site they would sell at MSRP. (The times are weird.)

It’s a wonderful little beast. I’ve already been skiing three times and am looking forward to more uphill fun when warm season arrives. For now, here’s a picture from Monday’s trip to A Basin (pictured is Loveland Pass, a few feet under 12k feet. Temp outside was -3 degrees F, or -30 with the wind). We didn’t stop on the return because the weather and visibility were both much worse.

The gas mileage has been impressive (28 or more) and it is entertaining to return home with more miles remaining on the tank than at the top of the pass. The big downhill messes with the machine’s calculations. The automatic transmission has been a joy to drive, an unexpected surprise. I hope I can drive this BS for a very long time.

Congrats, you're gonna love it. The 2.0L is a little jewel of an engine, and the turbo really shines at altitude, where it doesn't give up as much power as a normally aspirated engine.

Enjoy!

Hey Welcome, its an awesome little car especially for road trips up to the mountains. Just wait till the high country warms up a bit and you can take it camping.

Are you using the stock Scorpion ATRs? How are they on the snow?

Stock Scorpions. I cannot speak to deep snow (yet) but I am impressed with the traction on snow and ice. And, yes, camping is in the plans.

I've had my Badlands about 10 months and I still love it every day.

Thursday will by one year for my BL. I have almost 15,000 miles on her. Absolutely love my Bronco. I’m thinking of ordering the 2023 in either Eruption Green or Atlas Blue. I haven’t quite decided. I would prefer to just add the CMS to my Velocity Blue, but it might be too much work.
