Check onx to see what the trail is rated. We have done up to a level 4 with no problem. You may hear the skid plates doing their job from time to time, but that's okay! Take you time and enjoy the adventure.

I typically get 13 to 15. There is a lot of wind resistance. It's to be expected. I have a 16 foot boat, weights a little less, but I get 22 towing that because it mostly sits behind the Bronco and is much more aerodynamic.

Yes it is!

Here is a video that CheapRvLiving (Bob Well's channel) While were were in Quartzite Arizona last winter.

Update. Nothing was found, it would not do it for the dealer. I then ordered both the PTU and RDU fluid. I changed the rear since its the easiest. I found one tiny sliver of steel on the magnet drain plug along with some black sediment. It took the same as I drained out, just shy of a quart...

I have an appointment on Wednesday with my local dealer. I am leaning towards the u-joint in the center of the rear driveshaft. Ill let every one know what it turns out to be. When I bought the vehicle (out of state) it came with a third party lifetime unlimited mileage powertrain warranty with...

Power does go to the rear wheels momently when starting from a dead stop. Select the intelligent 4wd screen that shows where power is sent. You will notice power is sent to the rear even with no slip. when I can get it on a lift ill check the RDU fluid for metal. But before that Ill check the...

I am currently in the middle of a 2,500 mile road trip and have developed an unusual noise. It initial felt like first gear was slipping on take off from a dead start. It would not do it all the time,but now it's doing more. I had a friend listen outside and he said it seems like its coming from...

I Have a 2022 Bronco Sport Badlands that I have had for almost 3 years and have put 75,000 miles on it. Yes, its a great road trip vehicle. Longest road trip was 18,000 mile three and a half month trip to Alaska and back.

No problem towing boat or camper with my 2022 Badlands. Both are less than 2,000lbs. With the boat mpg drops to 22, camper 14.

Yes , then it might be worth it. Most of this year in my area 87 has been $2.79, 91 $3.79.

I can't remember the last time I have seen price spread that low between 87 and 91. It's constantly at a $1 per gallon more in all my travels. That makes it 25% more, not worth it in most cases .I will use 91 while towing if it's hot or hilly.

We did the drive on December 31th 2024. Amazing scenery! May do it again this December as park of the Bronco Drive.

I am on my 2nd set of 235 65 17 Trail Terrains. They are quiet on road and for me have offered excellent traction off road in desert dry conditions ,gravel , rocks, sand, and snow. I haven't been in much muddy conditions, so can't comment on that. When these wear out I plan to buy a 3rd set.
