  1. Rust Resistance / Body Panel Material ?

    The Sport has an aluminum HOOD ONLY, fenders/quarter panels are steel, not including the lower painted plastic sections below the head/tail lights, above both bumpers.
  2. Rear hatch not opening with trailer attached

    Intelligent access does not work with the key fob inside the vehicle.
  3. Wrinkles Developing in Seats

    Natural "leather" is already wrinkled, I don't see a problem here. I like that smooth finish v. the perf'ed in my BL though -- the little holes catch whatever little bits you get on there, then you have to vacuum out.
  4. Rear hatch not opening with trailer attached

    Actually....this is an intermittent problem with the intelligent access system and the rear hatch lock/unlock. IT SHOULD, with the vehicle locked, just unlock with a button (on the hatch) press when you have the key nearby -- but this occasionally fails. I'VE FOUND the fix is to lock the...
  5. OEM tow hitch vs aftermarket (Curt)

    Drivetrain and suspension. Not necessarily the unibody; it's not the hitch/receiver.
  6. Power Liftgate - Does it exist on any BS?

    Knew it didn't have a power lift gate going in, and didn't care. To me it didn't fit the rugged/off-road intention anyway -- I wasn't buying another minivan. NOW, I'm so happy NOT to have it. I have the dash button to unlock it for somebody else on the outside, and that's more than enough...
  7. Bad Rearend

    How much "regret" can happen in 1 week, especially with what should be a completely satisfactory resolution all around? Stuff happens, just a little bad luck is all.
  8. No integrated map or navigation...wtf???

    The Co-pilot360+/assist+ package does have several useful features -- these are not included in "Co-pilot360" nor the Badlands package (2021), but was a separate $795 option. Note though, that over time and in many contexts Ford's NAMING of the package and features have been all over the place...
  9. Under Seat Storage ideas?

    Hmmm...could be better used, but I'm keeping my jumper cables and my hitch shackle in there for now (hitch is occupied w/bike rack for the spring-summer-fall).
  10. Bronco Sport Cup Holder Panel Decoration

    Hmmm...I understand the existing panel scratches easily (a painted surface?)...I'd think a very thin applique of a darker/more conservative look might be nice...for me.
  11. Default to Eco Mode : DIY How-To

    Well, I was thinking that MAY be what was meant by those saying it "doesn't work" with the media system playing...I'll still check it out w/mine.
  12. Default to Eco Mode : DIY How-To

    The faux engine noises come on with the Normal, Sport, and other, offroad driving modes, with the 2.0L *and* the B&O sound system (so BL and FE with that add-on pkg.). The noises are responsive to throttle inputs and RPMs so that idling or cruising you wouldn't notice. (I'm beginning to wonder...
  13. Default to Eco Mode : DIY How-To

    It occurs in Normal, Sport (quite raucous there), and the offroad modes, and is really obvious. (It does not occur in Eco mode.) https://www.motortrend.com/news/2021-ford-bronco-sport-badlands-v-8-noise-speakers/
  14. Default to Eco Mode : DIY How-To

    Only Badlands and First Edition, when equipped with B&O audio, have the fake engine sounds.
  15. Do you use autostart?

    Kind of what I was thinking when I tried it; but remembering to do it myself is almost as easy. My fear is that scheduled remote starts occur when not wanted (ex. every weekday but it's a holiday and am not going anywhere; or worse it's in the garage and I didn't cancel the schedule...?).
  16. Do you use autostart?

    Hmmm...I thought the original question was about a FordPass scheduled remote start...? Everyone 'uses' auto start/stop unless or until you switch it off with the dash button (or have it otherwise disabled). I tried a scheduled remote start 1x and it worked perfectly, but, I'm just not sure why...
  17. How to activate compass?

    That compass is neat-o -- my BL w/nav has nav map, audio, and phone tiles where these audio, compass and phone tiles are showing. I have to recall where to look for my tiny 'N' 'S' 'E' or 'W' and would prefer that dial. (I am not always using/paying attention to the nav, but a quick glance at...
  18. How to stop my Badlands from "waking up" every time I open a door?

    Interior lights are controlled by the overhead switch(es) above the driver.
