    What did you own before your Bronco Sport?

    My wife traded her last convertible for our '24 Badlands, it was a '17 Buick Cascada. It only had 13,000 miles on it, and the dealer liked it so much they gave her nearly as much as we paid for it on the trade. Before that she had a 2003 Ford Thunderbird, and a Mazda MX-5. Gettin' too old to...

    2024 Badlands touchscreen and Sirius XM

    Just so y'all know, I get SiriusXM weather and traffic only in my 2015 F350, a few weeks ago it stopped working. Checked the Ford Sync site, and lo and behold, an update for sync 2! Installed it, and works great again. 👍 I have a '24 Badlands without navigation, so it's wire connect for...

    Undecided, trim level

    I vote Badlands, I have an F350 Platinum 6.7 that has been used for short trips too much, so we bought a 2024 pretty much loaded. My wife got a great trade in on her '17 Buick Cascada convertible, almost what we paid for it, ended up paying 27k for the Bronco Sport. The ride is unbelievably...

    What MPG and Range can we expect on the Bronco Sport?

    I live in a rural area so most driving is 55+. It's 2 hours one way to the nearest dealer, and 1.5 to any large city, so not really sure... 🤔 The dealer is rural as well! I don't think I've ever seen it at less than 28 even with a trip to the local grocery. Better than the 26 rating anyway. I...

    What MPG and Range can we expect on the Bronco Sport?

    I'm getting anywhere from 28-31 mpg on my Badlands, it's had 93 octane from the get. Even made the dealer fill it with premium, got 32 mpg on the way home. Turbo engines need premium fuel, probably why they recommend it. 🤔 No complaints here!

    Key fob insanity!

    Got one of those for mine too, it's awesome and protects from accidental presses. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0D3KRWQGH

    There’s A Good Chance Your Ford Needs A Sync Update (Customer Satisfaction Program 24B47)

    Got the "black screen" on my '24 BL a few days ago after a long trip. It came up fine the next day, but it was odd. 🤔

    Surging and bucking at low speed?

    I have a 2024 Badlands as well, and notice this every time we go out of our driveway, it goes away as soon as we hit the main road which is highway speed. Our driveway is gravel, so going slow is the rule, it's a little disconcerting. We had Recall 24S24 done at the dealer before we took...

    Well, It's Been Fun

    Ironically, just after we got our '24 Badlands, we ran into a guy that had a really nice Wrangler who said he was going to trade it in for a Bronco Sport. 🤔 His issue was the 15mpg. Best of luck to you and enjoy!

    MPG quandry

    We had the Recall 24S24 done on our '24 BS Badlands before we left the dealer. Average top mpg is 26mpg on the 2.0L engine, but I normally experience 28+ mpg, as we live in a rural area and most speed limits are 55 or more. The only time I notice a drop in average is when I go into the store...

    Defective Battery, Recall 24S24 and other topics

    Since y'all are talking about jump starters, I'll throw this one in, I keep it in my F350 Platinum 6.7 diesel: https://www.amazon.com/GOOLOO-GT4000S-Fast-Charging-Portable-SuperSafe/dp/B09M9HQG73 It's rated to start a 10L diesel as well, 100 watt LiPo. Again it's -4 to 140°, but it can warm...

    Would you trade in the Sport for the Big Bronco? Why or why not??

    I'm "The new guy", but here's my story: My wife and I stopped at a gas station and she went in, while I was waiting I noticed this really nice electric blue Jeep Wrangler next to me. After a few minutes the guy that owned it came out, and stopped in his tracks when he saw our Bronco Sport...

    Hello from Virginia

    Hey Mt Goat, I got them on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CFZJYS1J They are 3d party Door guards that are made of ABS as opposed to polyurethane, perhaps not the best choice but half the price. They are smaller and do not interfere with the logos, a problem some have with the OEM...

    Hello from Virginia

    Thanks Mark, I get the nit. I opted for the dual clutch and lockable system because our road doesn't get plowed in the winter, when it manages to snow here even my F350 struggles with anything over 6". I agree with your capability assertion. 🙂

    Hello from Virginia

    Nice job! My wife was kinda disappointed with the fact that they discontinued the red paint, but really liked the Hot Pepper Red, and she said since her Thunderbird was red she was fine with something different. Sorry for the double post, not used to how this forum works yet. Attaching files is...

    Hello from Virginia

    Hello all, My wife and I are getting on in years, she used to be a convertible gal, had an MX-5, an '03 red Thunderbird, and her last was a Buick Cascada we traded for this little pony. The poor '17 Cascada only had 13,000 on it so we got a great deal on the trade in. I used to have a Toyota...
