Tunes? Probably not, but we will find out soon - how far did Ford go with the MPC and why are they keeping this so on the down low?!
Everything else? Yep it’s the same freaking car lol
You need to buy street tires to meet these requirements “want a tire that is smooth and not noisy” —> I’d go all weather…that way you’ve got coverage during winter as well. Michelin CrossClimate 2 or Goodyear WeatherReady 2.
All the other tires people are talking about here OP will be all...
If you don’t do off roading - mind you, driving in gravel and over some bumps around trails is not off roading….and you deal with snow/ice sometimes, you should consider the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and Goodyear WeatherAssurance 2 - they are both top rated all weather tires.
“ More affordable (somewhat) Bronco Sports and Mavericks are doing better” —> sales numbers aren’t very encouraging, the Bronco Sport can’t even crack into top 10.
Ford has a huge headache in their hands, the current platform that underpins the C2 family (Focus, Escape, Bronco Sport, Maverick...
Very popular…really depends again. Subaru sells more Crosstreks, Foresters and Outbacks…for example.

I think our definitions of “big refresh/redesign” are very different lol…not sure I’d call a couple changes to the bumpers and a new screen as “big”
Where the heck is this information coming from?!? I tried to find it and failed miserably….absolutely nothing like this in the Ford’s official info I found.
Link please!
honest question, at the cost of sounding dumb lol....how? is the math always 50% of the total added diameter?
I also use tire size and never looked at the values, just at the picture...here it goes:
BB owners:
In deep snow..8in +, Sport mode and TC off will help make sure you will keep rolling…you really feel the AWD system working in these conditions.
Light snow and ice, use slippery mode.
The primary thing to consider here is tires…the standard Continentals are junk for winter driving...
yeah the new MPC engine...haven't seen any meaninful performance improvements - jury is still out there on what this means long term. Even Ford didn't really share much about it...
Mark here is correct - the different modes will change the way the AWD system responds, and adjust other parameters as well…
in slippery mode for example, the BS will tend to use AWD more often than in regular mode…the TC is also tuned for such conditions.
this is true across the board...
