Lovin my Badlands! Definitely would recommend the Air Design door moldings, hood scoop, and roof spoiler.

If it helped aerodynamicly for MPG wouldn't it make sense they would be built on every bronco sport already?

*Laughs in 2005 Scion XB* But seriously, I get 33mpg everywhere in my XB. And the Bronco BigBend is still between 27-31MPG for me

It’s funny to think about, but so many cars nowadays follow right along with the xB format of a small high roof car. It didn’t pan out for Toyota it seems, or Nissan with the Cube, but the Kia Soul is going strong & really they now have the Seltos too. Chevy seems to copy them with their Trailblazer. Even the Bronco Sport follows along with the mold of being a compact roomy square car in its own way.

Honestly I’ve been on the hunt for years for what I would consider a replacement for my XB when that day comes, and the Sport is actually pretty damn close. My XB is a manual and I do miss that in the Sport, but adaptive cruise and all the other amenities are damn nice.

This Bronco reminds me so much of the old XJ Cherokees. The squareness. Love it. Try to find one of those XJs today in good condition. Almost impossible.

Almost impossible for sure. My fav car of my Dad’s was a ZJ he had oh in about 2000. The one I should’ve bought off him. I’m surprised reading dimensions, and maybe there’s more to it than just the tape measure, just how much not smaller the BS is than the ZJ Even.

Wish the spoiler, door guards, and hood scoop was still an option for the 22 models. I would liked to have the spoiler and side door guards in my 22 model I ordered last week.

Do you have a link where o can purchase the gloss black rear spoiler?

You can order the rear roof spoiler and other accessories via Ford with 15% off. I ordered the spoiler and there are two color variations.

My dealer ordered and will install the spoiler before I pick it up!

I think the rear spoiler helps areodynamically. Otherwise, why would the Explorer and Edge have one that is twice the size of this one?

but the Explorer spoiler does nothing to keep the glass clear

Can't order parts off that link if you are in AZ or OK.

The BS is boxy but it's in the same mold as the first 2 gen escapes. I don't feel it's the same as the toaster cars of the Cube or XB...is that weird?

Really? Why are those states omitted from using it?

great question, when you click the link a pop-up window comes up and states it.

Definitely in the same mold as the first 2 gen escapes. I’ve thought of the BS as perhaps taking some inspiration from the toaster cars as well, a modern interpretation of them in a way if you will (though they do still make the Kia Soul so there’s At least 1 modern toaster car). But if the BS has elements of boxy design, as well as eye catching & affordable design, which might invite comparison, still. The BS is done up in a very American and very Ford way for a different customer.

Yeah that kinda makes me think when it comes to modernizing a retro style, ford tends to be better than most. The mustang redesign in '05 and subsequent models, thunderbird (fail), Bronco and BS etc.
