The owner's manual is also accessible in the touchscreen on the 2025s. When I bought mine, my sales rep made it a point to tell me there was no printed version and showed the digital version on the touchscreen. I also have a PDF version saved on my computer and smartphone.

2025 Bronco Sport Big Bend, three months old. Will have 3,000 miles on it next week. Started to experience some serious bucking and vibration when going up slight inclines/hills at about 40mph and 1500rpm since exactly the 2,000 mile mark. Pressing the accelerator makes the problem instantly go...

The climate controls in the touchscreen really aren't a big deal. My '25 BS BB is the first vehicle I have had with climate controls integrated in to the touchscreen. I was resistant to the idea, coming from decades of dedicated knobs and buttons for climate control. I am almost 3 months in to...

Recently bought a Big Bend with the 1.5L. I can only assume it was delivered with a full tank of 87. First fill up I put in 89 and noticed the engine ran smoother. Next fill-up I put in 91 octane and there is a noticeable improvement in responsiveness. Averaged 30mpg with all 3 octanes. The...

My Bronco Sport is 1 month old. My dealer didn't detail it at all prior to delivery aside from wiping the windows down with a wet towel :crackup: I did read online that Continental tires in particular are known to turn white simply from washing. That oily residue you had is very peculiar...

I recall when I was test driving and buying my Bronco Sport, the salesperson was wanting to demonstrate the display options and said "Oh, that's right, we need to put on our seat belts and press OK in order for me to show you these options while parked and idling." However, when starting the...

Typical Car Wizard content. No doubt he is a very accomplished and comprehensive mechanic, however this video was a little extra. Claims the car in the video is worth $30,000...however a quick check on KBB shows that the car is worth closer to $16,000. This is a 4yr old BS with 89,000 miles that...

I considered the Ford cargo mat, however didn't care for the particular style of it for the $170 they are asking for it. I just wish it would have had a little deeper sides and covered the pivot points at the rear corner of each side instead of tucking under them (my BB has no spare, so the...

Purchased the Husky Liners Cargo Mat for my 2025 BB. Fit-wise it just dropped right in. Quality wasn't quite what I was expecting. The edges of the mat were trimmed a little rough compared to the picture of the mat on the Husky Liners website (I ordered it directly from them.) It was shipped and...

Looks like that Bronco Sport has the rare hovering option :crackup:

If the error/warning lights came on, the codes should be stored in the computer even if the lights went away. The dealer should be able to pull the codes and determine what the problem was. Might be worth a trip back to them and point out these issues started after the BCM update.

I have been considering a Bronco Sport for a couple of years now, or possibly a new Explorer. They keep coming up on my short list of new vehicles. My previous Ford experiences has been with two Fords, both purchased new. First was a Ford Explorer. It spent several weeks in the shop for a...

I have been in the workforce now for almost 40 years. While I agree that us "older" workers are cut from a different cloth, I have been relatively impressed with the quality of the younger workers at my current company [maybe my company's recruiters are just exceptional.] They are very...

15yrs or 250,000 miles? Sounds like they are pretty confident the original part will last well beyond the intended service life of the vehicle...plus the buckle is a cheap part. Most modern vehicles are built with an expected life span of 150,000 miles.
