The video link reviews the 2025 2.0L MPC engine in a Maverick Lobo. This is the same new engine design that is in the 2025 BL. The 2025 1.5L 3 cylinder is very similar in overall look.
Note that the 2.0L now has both direct injection and port injection. It is interesting that Ford has not done...

21 OB
I have never owned a vehicle with brakes lasting this long.
My original rear brake pads were changed at 117,000 miles.
I just had the original front brake pads changed at 142,000 miles. The pads still had material but the rotors had become warped. Dealer replaced the pads and machined...
I have been experiencing a “clunk” when going over bumps and a “rattle” when the vehicle restarts using auto start-stop.
I ordered all three engine mounts and found the lower torque arm was bad. I ended up replacing all three anyway.
I have 140,000 miles on the OB. I have been experiencing...
I have been encountering a MIL (Check Engine Light) with a P0496 code. I had the dealer replace the EVAP purge valve assembly 2-1/2 years ago. Along with the MIL, after filling the fuel tank it has been very hard to start.
I ordered a new EVAP purge valve assembly and replaced it this weekend...
Update
Over the past 3-4 months, I have been experiencing a stumbling issue. This occurs all the time between 25 and 45 mph under light to moderate throttle. When under hard throttle, the issue does not appear. There has also been a rhythmic surge at highway speeds. The tachometer would jump...

I have been trying different products to remove common scuff marks on the lower door panels. Most detailing sprays will clean and make the surface appear a little better but have not been able to cover the scuff marks.

I have 96,000 miles on a 21 OB and I have never changed the brake pads. I have the moan in reverse, but I have never had the dealer address this.
Are others seeing brake pads lasting this long?
According to the 21 owners manual the timing belt should be replaced on the 1.5L 3-cylinder engine at 150,000 miles.
Does this engine have a timing belt or is a timing chain used to operate the 2 camshafts?
I have only seen this service requirement in the owners manual.
The most common vehicle colors on the road are white, black, silver and gray. These four colors are what most dealers feel save ordering.
Just my opinion, but I feel these four colors are the worst look for the Bronco Sport.
Green, Blue, Red, Brown, Orange/Yellow.
All these colors are much...
