  1. Highlights from Tennessee Off Roadeo

    Agreed. One of the guys said, "Is there anywhere these little mountain goats can't go?"
  2. Highlights from Tennessee Off Roadeo

    I joined 4 couples at the Tennessee Off-Roadeo this weekend. We were blown away by the Bronco Sport's capabilities. The trails were challenging, and were made much more difficult after it started raining. We were able to navigate through narrow, muddy trails, creek crossings, and steep, rocky...
  3. Retro Bronco T-shirts at Sams

    https://www.samsclub.com/p/licensed-men-s-graphic-moto-t-shirt/P990340713?xid=plp_product_1 I was surprised to find these at my local Sam's Club. They also had retro Mustang shirts so I picked up one of those, too.
  4. Bronco Off-Roadeo Tennessee Announced!

    I've not found a satisfactory answer to that question. Maybe someone will chime in, or I can ask when I go.
  5. Bronco Off-Roadeo Tennessee Announced!

    I am registered for Saturday, October 26. Looking forward to it!
  6. Bronco Off-Roadeo Tennessee Announced!

    I am only about 30 minutes from the site, so I really hope to get verified soon. Late October would be a good time to go because of the fall colors.

  8. Tired of reading negative on the 1.5's?

    Agreed. Blasting a particular engine because of component failure is pretty short-sighted. These things happen to practically every make of car on the road. Ford will work out the bugs (if any), and the 1.5"s will log many, many miles as time goes by. My 2007 Pilot, which I consider one of the...
  9. Anyone else have problems with the air conditioner?

    Following up on my air conditioner problem; it had a leaky low-side Schrader valve. They filled it up and checked it, found the problem, and repaired it under warranty. They provided me a rental car while it was in the shop. I chose a Dodge Challenger R/T Hemi. It was fun for about a day, but I...
  10. New Bronco Sport Owner :)

    Congratulations! Mine is Cactus Gray as well. A little spray wax after a wash makes it shine like new money. I hope you enjoy i!
  11. Read Before you buy a Bronco Sport!!

    Totally not my experience. I'm 5'-7" as well and my arm rests comfortably on the center armrest. My transmission is very smooth even when accelerating hard. I familiarized myself on the model before purchase, so the liftgate and the hatch are a non-issue for me. Sorry it didn't work out for...
  12. Anyone else have problems with the air conditioner?

    You may very well be right. It exhibits all the signs with a couple of exceptions. Twice this week it felt like the A/C was almost cool. When I went parked it and let it sit a minute it wouldn't cool at all after restarting. Maybe extremely low?
  13. Anyone else have problems with the air conditioner?

    That is a scenario I was afraid of. I can see blending cool ambient air to get the inside temperature down, along with the A/C. That would actually be pretty good engineering. I had the same experience you did though; nothing but warm air. The interior temperature should be independent of...
