    Received my new 2025 Bronco Sport!

    I don't know if you need an account to see it. Someone posted an in-person video of a 2025 on Reddit. Enjoy the BRONCO logo on the windshield while you have it. If that sucker ever cracks, the aftermarket ones will just have a black stripe there. Insurers no longer pay for OEM parts on stuff...

    How to fix this thing, see pic

    There is nothing normally in that gap, unless Ford added it in later model years. Unless the seal from way down below is somehow coming out and you'd know it because of all the wind and water coming in, that's a piece someone added aftermarket. Some people claim filling that gap reduces wind...

    Official RAPID RED Bronco Sport Thread

    I'm not saying you have a water pump issue, but your coolant is low. It should be somewhere about the red mark I added in. It looks like good old Ford Yellow in the pic, just don't intermix the wrong type. You can get it right at the Ford parts counter and should be under $20.

    Best Windshield Wiper Replacements (especially Rear)

    This is so satisfying, I might need to change the rear blade to your recommendation just to get the clean tangent intersection.

    Undecided, trim level

    If it is, I don't think you buy a Bronco, a Bronco Sport or maybe not even a Ford at all. I think so. I've driven both. It has a very different on road feel with the BL trim. It's quicker, yes, but beyond that is has a different feel on both windy roads and city streets. More stable and footed...

    Undecided, trim level

    But are you going to have 1.5 pints or 2.0 pints? 2.0 pints is just a base pint with a pint added on.

    Sunglasses Holder Switch Panel Mount

    There are a lot of different materials for home/hobby printers. Even a filament printer can opt for nylon, PLA (plastic) and other stuff. Like all plastic, eventually UV will degrade the material. There is a similar but different printer called an SLA or resin printer. Things printed with UV...

    Sunglasses Holder Switch Panel Mount

    I'm an amateur 3D printer, but that isn't the best example of a finished piece. If you don't look up much, it's probably really fine and functional. I would have ironed the top layer or printed it upside down so that the plate side shows. Interesting idea for a functional item though.

    Undecided, trim level

    Then isn't an Outer Banks just a Big Bend? Isn't the Big Bend just a Base? I'm not sure what is meant by this. Same. If I had the option, I would probably turn it off. Yeah, prices really skyrocketed in 3 years. Part of the reason I bought in 2021 was I knew where supply and prices were going...

    Undecided, trim level

    I pored and pored over the option lists when I was shopping the car. In the end, the only thing the Outer Banks had that a Badlands did not, was rain sensing wipers and footwell lights. I don't know anyone or any media that would call it a step down from an OB for it.

    Undecided, trim level

    No one that owns a Badlands regrets that they didn't get another trim instead. Some people traded another trim and got a Badlands instead. Many owners say they wished they had a Badlands but couldn't get one.

    Most dependable Ford SUV.

    Sounds like they glossed over the 1.5 fuel injector recall and ignored the not-recalls like the 1.5's water pumps and don't mention the brakes at all. They start off saying great mileage is one of the positives, then crap all over the mileage ratings in the explanation. Another car article that...

    What are some good places to buy discounted OEM Ford parts?

    A bunch of internet sites and sellers seem to use HEPA and MERV 20 interchangeably. I'm not an HVAC guy so I don't know which is true, but you made me look, and the EPA website only lists HEPA above MERV 16. I do trust the Wix filter to perform the same as a Motorcraft. The material looks and...

    2021 Sport OBD2 communication failure.

    I don't know if there is a way for us to tell if the update is needed or not other than have Ford tell you. My car is smack in the middle of that range and I got a letter in January 2024 that my car got the OTA. A Bronco Sport is my only Ford, it's for that vehicle. Here is my letter.

    2021 Sport OBD2 communication failure.

    A simple search of that recall number informs me that 1) "PROGRAM TERMS This customer satisfaction program provides a one-time repair to reprogram the Gateway Module (GWM) for unlimited years of service and unlimited miles from the warranty start date of the vehicle. Coverage is automatically...

    What are some good places to buy discounted OEM Ford parts?

    I've found some things are more easily found at a dealership and still competitively priced, like coolant. I just threw a Wix WA10981 engine air filter in at 30,000. I defy someone to find a difference between the OEM and the Wix without markings or visual clues. Filters are a huge racket even...

    Wiper motor recall turned into Ford trying to pressure me to sell

    That's your dealership, not Ford. New cars account for something like 60% of the revenue at dealerships, but under 25% of the profit. The rest comes from selling warranties, service and flipping used cars, and a bunch of backroom kickbacks you'll never find out about (e.g. loan placements). If...

    Rattling sound under Badlands

    I also had a skid plate bolt back itself out between oil changes. Not far enough to drop out, but it was maybe 1/4" out. It might be prudent to re-apply some locker compound after a change or two or opting to inspect them when you check the oil and air.

    The Sky is falling

    This thing is a tank. I've seen aftermath pictures here and on FB groups. The fatalities must be negligence related, not structural. Don't drive distracted, use safety equipment and drive responsibly and stay alert on adaptive cruise, it isn't self-drive. I think you'd have a difficult time...

    What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    Drove the historic Highway 30 in the Columbia Gorge to Crown Point, Corbett, OR. Some call it rainy, I call it perfect weather.
