Since your tires are 107% the stock diameter, you are actually travelling 107% further than your trip meter states. You're really getting 26.2 mpg. You are also going 107% faster than your speedo reports, so be careful.

1. Leather steering wheel should be standard on BB and above. Ridiculous it is not standard on BL. 2. Sync 4. 3. Sasquatch version with increased lift/suspension upgrade and 30+" tires. 4. Lower spring rate for all (better ride and articulation) 5. Better speakers on premium B&O...

+42 should be ok. Late model Focus' are +47-50. https://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/focus/2019/ The late model Escape is +52.5. IMO, not the best look on the Bronco Sport.

I agree as far as the tires go, but this is what the local dealer put on the BS in the Ontario winter. Nevertheless, it is interesting that the Badlands torque vectoring rear diff needs quite a bit of throttle input to engage. This explains the results of the rear diff "test" on the Throttle...

A 16x6.5 should work, but the Focus wheel offset is around 50mm. IMO, this will not look good as the wheel will be tucked in 1/2" (not flush with the fender). If you want it to look and operate as stock, +35 to +40 mm offset would be best.

Real world comparison from Truck King. Close, but no cigar.

Any details on the rubbing? Where and under what conditions. Also, what’s the offset of the aftermarket wheels you are running? Thanks.

Please take a look at the inside of the wheels that came on your BL and confirm the stock wheel offset. The number with the ET next to it. I’m pretty sure that Escape wheels have greater offset than the Bronco Sport. If so, the wheel track on your BL will be reduced and may look a bit off...

5 x 108 (4.25"). Wheel offset is +37.5mm on the stock Big Bend wheels. I assume the Badlands offset is the same.

It's not quite the rosy picture noted here. Firstly, the 2001 Escape was jointly designed with Mazda which contributed greatly to the solid reliability of the first gen. Escape. Secondly, the 2020 Escape has been anything but a shining star of reliability. Last month, Consumer Reports rated...

For the Big Bend, the stock wheel offset is 37.5mm. Being that the track width and wheel size are the same for both the BB and BL, it is likely that the wheel offset is also the same.

I would be surprised if any modern Ford engine was non-interference. Is there a source for your non-interference comment on the 2.0L? I don't know the quality of the website below, but it's the only thing I could find for the 2020 Escape. The site says that both the 1.5L-3 and 2.0L-4...

You can still use a work vehicle for personal use, it just has to be >50% work and prorated as such. Of course, I don't know your situation. I was wrong about the weight though, a 4 dr Bronco would not fly. The 6000 lb weight is vehicle weight, not GVWR. Nevertheless, there is a significant...

This vehicle is to be used for your job, correct? Don't you want to buy a vehicle with >6000 lb GVWR such that you can write off the cost in your taxes? I would imagine that some 4dr Broncos meet this 6000 lb GVWR. Certainly a 4WD truck would, but a Bronco Sport would not.

Did you find out anything with your dealer? When the BS Badlands build and price first came out, the "steelies" were $300 with an automatic upgrade to the larger tire when selected. This exactly matches with the window sticker posted here. So this price was honored? To this day, when you...
