  1. 2021 Bronco Sport Badlands Four Year 50 K Report

    Our Badlands will be four next month. Just returned from routine service at our local Ford dealer. I get service every 4-5,000 miles as the oil shows 50%. Put new Falken Wildpeak 4s on at 40,000 to replace the Wildpeak 3s that came with it. Almost hate to post this since most posters seem to...
  2. Your Favorite Car

    Two favorites in the past: My first new car was a 1965 Mustang 2+2 that I bought in Nov 1964. 289 and four on the four. The second favorite was a 2012 Mini Cooper S Roadster. Stuck to the road like glue and was light enough to scoot with a manual six speed. British racing green- I was COOL.
  3. Might buy a Bronco Sport, can't find any with heated steering wheel

    My 2021 Badlands has it. The Ford Bronco Sport web site for 2025 models shows that it is standard on both Badlands and Outer Banks.
  4. Tariffs [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS; POLICY DISCUSSIONS ONLY]

    I'm sorry that I started this thread which has deteriorated into such a political discussion. My intent was to ask what would happen to Bronco Sport production and availability if a 25 % tariff is enacted. Since I already own a Badlands I will not be affected personally. But a 25% increase in...
  5. Tariffs [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS; POLICY DISCUSSIONS ONLY]

    What will a 25% tariff on products from Mexico do to Bronco Sport sales ?
  6. I Salute you

    Once again, the elementary school across the street has all the kids lined up by the street giving out donuts to veterans who honk when they drive by. All the students cheer when a veteran stops. The fence is decorated with posters with the names of all their parents, brothers and sisters and...
  7. Paint Quality, Cyber Orange 2021 Badlands

    Just finished applying my pre-/Winter wax job on my Cyber Orange Badlands. Although it sat outside in the driveway every day of the last three years, I'm amazed at the quality and durability of the paint job. The hot sun of Summer and the cold of Idaho in the Winter has not hurt the original...
  8. FordPass Complaint

    I have no idea how or why, but my Ford Pass has been restored to full function on my old I Phone 7. There is no longer any mention of a "need" to update my IOS to ISO 16. Hope it lasts !
  9. Three Year Anniversary

    Tomorrow marks three trouble free years since buying our 2021 Badlands. Today I purchased a new set of Falken "Wild Peak' A/T 4W tires to replace the A/T 3s that were original equipment. The A/T 3s had 39k on them and still passed the Lincoln penny test, but I wanted new tires for Winter use...
  10. FordPass Complaint

    Dude - I appreciate your comments and understand that I can likely switch to an I phone 11 or so at little or no cost. My main complaint is that Ford offered a service ( Ford Pass ) and less than three years later it is no longer available to me. I use my I phone primarily as a phone and to...
  11. FordPass Complaint

    I start off by admitting to being old and relatively in the dark ages concerning computers and I phones. Shortly after buying my 2021 Bronco Sport Badlands, I signed up for FordPass. That was no problem and I have used it for nearly three years. Ford has apparently decided that I no longer need...
  12. Any BS’s out there that haven’t had any issues??

    Three years and 38k on my trouble-free Badlands.
  13. Anyone Have Experience with Falken Wildpeak at4w Tires?

    My 2021 Badlands will be getting new tires this October and I'm thinking of the Falken Wildpeak at4w to replace my at3w original tires. I have been very pleased with the at3w. They will have 39-40 k on them in October and are still serviceable, but I want to go into Winter with new tires. Lots...
  14. Explainer: why OE tires are different.

    I have 31,000 + miles on my Falken AT 3 Wildpeaks (OE) and plan to replace them this Fall when i will have about 40,000 on them. They will still be serviceable, but I want fresh tread going into Winter.
  15. Good video analysis of Falken A/T4W

    It will be interesting to see what Ford does to replace the Falken AT 3 as the OEM option on the Badlands. I will be looking to replace my Falken Wildpeak AT 3 this Fall as I will have 40k miles on them. Have really enjoyed the AT 3s on my 2021 Badlands and had been thinking of the AT 4s but...
