My 2022 Bronco Sport Badlands lease is up. I was going to buy it at the end of the lease. However, my PTU is making a ton of noise at 27k miles and I didn't want to mess with this after warranty. I am moving on to a Full Size Bronco Badlands 2dr with 7spd manual. I am looking forward to it.

2dr 6gen is awesome! I'm lucky rough to have both. 2-door is definitely the way to go.

One big advantage to getting the 2-door after having the sport: the turning radius and other things are much more similar to the sport than the 4-door. They don't handle the same, but they do fit into the same spaces. It's fairly easy to switch between driving a sport and a 2-door "big" bronco for that reason.

I was going to do a 4dr, but it would be really close wether it would fit in my garage.

You’ll love the 2 door. The gas milage is not significantly different, as @jofer says, the turning radius is outstanding, actually seems better than the Sport but I don’t know the exact specifications. I like them both for different reasons. But, I prefer driving the 2 door when I can because of the 7 mt and the more truck like feel. The down side for me is it gets covered for 5 months of the year because of the copious amount of salt and brine WI puts down in the winter.

Good call on walking away from that PTU noise, those things can get expensive real quick once you're out of warranty!

It was still under the 5yr/60k mile powertrain warranty, but if this is going bad at 27k miles I said I better pass. Not a full believe in Fords automatic transmission as well with these cars, hence the 7MT with the new Bronco.

Same concept I had with my fusion. The power steering rack shit out at 7,000 miles, and the dealership showed me what the repair would be if I had to pay for it, and it was at that point I knew I wasn’t keeping the lease.
