  1. Exploring the on-road performance of the BSBL-- Decisions.

    I have a 2021 Badlands and previously a Forester. The ground clearance between the two is about the same at 8.5 inches. Great for snow and off road but not what you would want for high speed cornering, even with stock tires. Before buying the Badlands I test drove a CX5 Turbo. I felt the Mazda...
  2. Started BSBL today to find this warning circus

    This was very likely a low battery voltage issue. We had this happen on our 2021 recently. It had no other issues other than low battery voltage during crank.
  3. New to Towing Questions

    You are in Ohio, I'm in PA. In PA if a trailer is equipped with brakes in PA then they MUST be used to be legal, regardless of the weight of the cargo. For 5 miles I'm not sure it would be worth worrying about in your state.
  4. 2025 Tow Rating Bump

    Just for reference: The 2021 Badlands with Factory Tow was 2250lbs.
  5. 4-pin to 7-pin trailer harness conversion

    The 4 pin has GND - Stop/Right - Stop/Left - PARK My guess is they will tap into the parking lights for a trickle charge. The Ford 7 pin has all the above plus: Left Park - Right Park - STOP.
  6. Mazda CX-30...

    I test drove a CX30 before knowing about the BS. I had the Mazda Dealer looking for one that I wanted. But then Ford announced the Bronco Sport. The Mazda Dealer still hadn't come through with a CX30 so we ordered the Sport. The CX30 inside felt smaller to me.
  7. Disable Passive Anti-theft system?

    It will only arm if the vehicle is locked. What's Amtrak policy on locking the vehicle?
  8. 25-2051 Moan Noise In The Rear Brakes

    We have had this noise on our 21 ever since new. I just ignore it because it does not happen consistently.
  9. Strange issues

    You can do your own simple load test if you have a VOM that records MIN Voltage. Attach your VOM directly to the battery (with engine off). Reset the MIN memory on the VOM. Then start up the engine. The VOM should record the MIN starting voltage. On a healthy battery with a full charge it really...
  10. What’s the name of your 2025 Bronco Sport

    Wife named her Bronco Sport "Smokey". I think this is a title of a book about a horse.
  11. Battery Replacement

    I bought a new battery recently at Advance Auto. They refused to install it because you need to completely remove the air filter box and move around some cables. So I did the install on my Badlands. Took about 1 hour. And you need to reset the "battery usage" settings. I documented the...
  12. Can the display show what gear?

    I think it also displays when you hit the 'M' manual mode button.
  13. What is the weight load in cargo area for Bronco Sport Badlands, without the back seats laying down?

    I would think that it should be close to the tongue weight of a trailer. I have towed 2200 lbs with my badlands. More than 50% of that was on the tongue. Recently I had 280 lbs of bagged wood pellets in the cargo area. The BS didn't even know it was back there.

  19. Adding illuminated cup holders to a badlands

    Right. Mine is a 21 and the info on the wires came from a 21 book on Wiring. The OP has a 23 so that might be an issue.
  20. Adding illuminated cup holders to a badlands

    There should be a 3 pin connector in the console for cup lighting. I don't know if the Bronco Sport wiring works the same as the escape. But here goes: GRN-RED wire is power for ambient lighting YEL-BLU is LIN BUS. This comes from the Body Control Module, LIN 11 bus BLK-BLU is ground Not sure...
