    FAVORITE WHEELS

    Liked my Bronco Sport wheels better than the black wheels that came on my maverick so I put my spare set on the Mav.

    Towing capacity for Base model without factory install towing package?

    Way back when I bought my '21 Sport OB no one could tell me if the trans coolers were the same in both the non tow package and the tow package. With the help of the local parts guy and the rep we found that by looking at VIN numbers the tow package had a different trans cooler than the standard...

    18" Bronco Sport Alloys - just don't know what these are called or what model/trim had them.

    Those look good on the your Mav. I think they were originally the optional 18" alloy wheels for the Big Bend. I had the dealer put my second set of Outer Banks 18's on when I picked up mine as I wasn't a fan of the BAP 18" factory wheels that originally came on my Maverick either.

    Water pump dies

    I had one of the original 1.5 water pumps. Bought the upgraded spare just to have on hand in case they were backordered if I needed a replacement and I was in the middle on nowhere. That Sport is gone and the new unused pump is sitting in the box on the workbench.

    Any BS’s out there that haven’t had any issues??

    If it has the Brake Controller it will have the seven pin as the seven pin has the pins for electric brakes.

    Any BS’s out there that haven’t had any issues??

    Here's what you're looking for on the photos. 7 and 4 pin on the back (not just 4 pin) and the control under the headlight controls on the dash.

    Received my new 2025 Bronco Sport!

    2025 Mavericks are on dealer lots. The BS shouldn't be far behind.

    Any BS’s out there that haven’t had any issues??

    Got my Mav w/4K in November '23. Was lucky to find it with everything I wanted on line at a dealer about 100 miles from me as someone had decided they wanted a different one the day before it came in. Everyone else was waiting for months at the time. Drove up and bought it and the truck came in...

    Any BS’s out there that haven’t had any issues??

    Had my OB for three years/28K with no problems. Had my Maverick 2.0 now for over a year and no problems.

    Undecided, trim level

    Yes, larger cooling fan, larger transmission cooler, different gear ratio, 7 pin and 4 pin connectors, and the factory trailer brake controller with dash controls and display.

    Undecided, trim level

    Same engine/power but the tow package changes the gearing so it's quicker off the line. Regular Mav is about the same. Biggest difference for my use is the tranny doesn't get hot like the BS did when towing.

    Undecided, trim level

    Had the 1.5. for a couple of years. It was fine on acceleration in Sport mode and good on gas but was limited in towing. 2.0 isn't much better. Had a 2.0 BL for a few days. Went with a Maverick 2.0 w/4K towing. More power and even quicker than the BL. shaves 2 seconds off 0-60. Bought it for...

    Wrong Bronco Key?

    My '21 had it. Ford has been removing features every year since '21.

    Passenger side windshield wiper

    My Sport worked that way. Up slightly when on. Down when off. On the Maverick the passenger side normally sticks up all the time, even when off. Ford got lazy.

    Show us the trailers hitched up to your Bronco Sport

    I towed it for two camping seasons here in the Northeast, Adirondacks, Poconos, Smokey Mountains. Keeping an eye on it, It was fine except on long upgrades the transmission tended to run a little hotter. I traded it over the Winter for a Maverick with the 4K tow package. Now the transmission...

    Tired of reading negative on the 1.5's?

    Had my Outer Banks for 3 years and 30,000 miles with no problems. Pulled a 2,000 pound camper all summers also.

    Keep my Bronco Sport Big Bend or trade for hybrid Maverick

    I feel no difference on the interior seating height. Controls are the same as my Sport. Everything in my Maverick XLT feels pretty much the same as my Bronco Sport. The Mav overall seems to sit a little higher. My Bronco Sport all weather floor mats fit my Mav perfectly. The shape of the hood is...

    Keep my Bronco Sport Big Bend or trade for hybrid Maverick

    I traded my OB for a Maverick XLT with the 4K tow package. I liked the sport but the 1.5's transmission was heating up on long hills towing 2K. Planning on some larger hills so I figured it was time. Towed fine otherwise on the flats but the Maverick AWD with the 2.0 and larger transmission...

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

    I traded my OB for a Maverick XLT with the 4K tow package, not a full size Bronco. Didn't want the Bronco's soft roof as we carry too much on top. I liked the sport but the 1.5's transmission was heating up on long hills towing 2K. Planning on some larger hills so I figured it was time. Towed...
