  1. How much of a difference does Eco mode make?

    On the badlands from what I gather the driving modes change the shifting points and engine rpms. on some of the modes it tells the Dana rear end microprocessors what to do. Eco mode it makes the mapping of the gas pedal less responsive, so your not mushing the pedal and sacrificing mpg. The...
  2. How come we haven't talked about gas prices? [Admin Warning: NO POLITICS]

    It’s over $6 a gallon at the pumps in California. I’m not blaming anyone in political circles. But it’s more expensive now than before, which has spurred inflation. I just bought a loaf of sourdough bread for $9 and a second loaf of artesian bread ?. Spent over $20. Real estate in most places...
  3. What's your favorite thing about your Sport?

    Costco gas is cheaper. You don’t have to be a member. What you need to do is have someone who is a member buy you a gift card. In other words give them money and sTIck the funds on a Costco gift card which you can then use aT their pumps.

    Who Do I call Ford Marketing? Where’s my engine cover?
  5. Having possible regrets ordering Area51 color the more I look at Velocity Blue... I think not sure!

    You made a huge mistake with the Area 51. ? I got the Area 51 in my badlands because I didn’t want a metallic color. Much easier to spot paint or repaint a panel then a metallic color. I live in a hot area and the VB blue got to hot IMHO. I’m also not a fan of dark colors. I don’t want to be a...
  6. Low MPG?

    If I’m getting around 21mpg city in the badlands that’s ok. Anything near 25 I’m happier. On the freeway I like to see at least 28mpg. I usually reset the mpg calculator and drive on eco mode. Anything over 30mpg is doing good and over 35mpg I’m very happy. I noticed with cruise control set it’s...
  7. Rough Country Fender Flares

    I’m not big on aftermarket parts ?ā€ā™‚ļø Those flares look ? I think it’s the tire wheel package that makes them stand out
  8. Production date for Bronco Sport Badlands delayed

    Ford is producing the lightning f-150 and they use 8 chips compared to 3? So I suspect it’s a case of pinch from Peter to give to Paul. The electrification of their product line is more important than getting a few extra Bronco sports out the door. They will take precedence over everything else
  9. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    Got the Tuxmat front and back. Called customer service and they gave me 20% military discount (veteran) on the first order, free shipping, no tax. $148 delivered. ?
  10. Lots of bugs on windshield due to hood design?

    Rain X makes a green washing fluid solution. Better for removing bugs. Got it from Amazon for under $4
  11. Dealer lets people test drive your new Bronco Sport…

    I custom ordered the car and waited five months to get the Badlands. Took a bus 430 miles, then walked 3 miles, took a train for 45 minutes, walked 20 minutes. Got to the dealer and within 15 minutes there were other buyers trying to purchase the car. They told me I beat them by 12 minutes. ? I...
  12. Frontal Collision NHSTA crash test results

    She was driving in the car without seat belts. She got ejected - tossed out from the windshield after a few tumbles and the dog ? was smart enough to jump out the window when he knew her driving was crap in a basket ?
  13. Frontal Collision NHSTA crash test results

    Ford should have given that women and her dog a new Bronco Sport for taking the BS down the side of the mountain, sitting in for the crash dummy. She had no seat belts on and got ejected out of the car. Not sure she would have lived if she rode the Bronco ? down the face of the mountain. That...
  14. 47.5 MPG on Big Bend using Eco Mode šŸƒ

    I’m getting an easy 26-28mpg combined driving in Los Angles on shorter trips in my Badlands. City driving I’m getting around 21mpg. My F150 would get around 9mpg, so it’s a big improvement. My Prius got approximately 42mpg, but the distances are short, so I prefer the safety and feel of the BS...
  15. Premium package on the Badlands worth the price of admission?

    I believe that the moonroof is no longer offered with the premium package in the badlands? Yes I could see the value in the PP with the sunroof, but without that at $2,200 extra is a bit of a stretch. As others have commented the B&O is not terrific and only a modest upgrade. Otherwise if the...
  16. Frontal Collision NHSTA crash test results

    It appears from the footage at 35mph head on into a brick wall the car did very well in the safety rating. Also see previous side impact testing:
  17. Premium package on the Badlands worth the price of admission?

    I thought of doing this but then I don’t get the extra stuff in the premium package?
  18. Premium package on the Badlands worth the price of admission?

    I already have a 2022 Bronco Sport Badlands with cloth seats. On the last day before the price jump I ordered a new Bronco Sport with the premium package in Area 51 and the same options. How many owners regret not spending the extra $2,200 to get the premium package? Thoughts on selling the BS...
  19. Just put Maverick steel wheels (steelies) on my 2021 sport. What do you all think?

    I was thinking the same thing. What size tire would you go with 235 or 245?
  20. Bronco Sport Price Increases Coming April 13, 2022

    Unless you have a sales contract you don’t have a lock ? price? Its the same thing you sign under contract prior the sale. If you had the General Manager physically sign off or had a text message thread saying he would honor x-plan or MSRP pricing then you have a leg to stand on. When I...
