I think I can get used to most of this sort of changes, but -- the button layout on the wheel is not completely logical (there is only so much real estate) AND, there is almost no FEEL to help you find and press the correct buttons when you need them. I HAVE learned some of them (memory and...
The 8-way (includes lumbar in/out) Bronco Sport driver seat bottom only has up/down, fore/aft adjustments (actually, the passenger also, if equipped -- which is 6-way) -- no "tilt," i.e. the front/rear of the seat cushion cannot be raised/lowered independently. I'm 6'3" and have my seat set up...
Ranked 5th out of those 6 and it's an "Editors' Choice?" But it's "Car and Driver," not Truck and Driver, SUV and Driver -- car-like, on-road and "comfort" factors must weigh on their ratings. The best 2 things Ford did with the Bronco Sport are to make little package look pretty good and tough...
My 2020-built vintage, all-original Badlands has the start/stop light, and the engine cover, and the underhood insulation blanket, and the digital temp readouts, and the hatch release button, and and and...it's a real collectible!
The underhood insulator only comes on the 2.0L trims. The 1.5L and 2.0L trims used to each come with its own style rubber(ized) engine cover, but then became scarce, and now apparently no more. One online guy claimed it was for mitigating injuries to pedestrians in a collision. My guesses would...
Hmmm...in the freezing weather now I've noticed a little rattling sound like pieces of ice skittering around near the front of the roof/windshield. My hard top convertible does this due to vibrations making the seals squeak in cold weather, so I thought something similar going on around my...
It's LAME decontenting -- this is a dual-zone automatic climate control -- come on, Ford! This is not an uncommon feature, and I find it very useful. Don't NEED this or that? Come on! The same folks complain about EVERYTHING else perceived as 'cheap' or just omitted as an "essential" feature...
YOU DO NOT WANT full-time 4WD with a.) no option to turn it OFF and/or b.) no computer control to distribute wheel torque where and as needed, and c.) computer control to protect the driveline from wear and tear and 'user error.' The photo appears to show Normal Mode, NO 4WD nor rear-drive locks...
I like mine DOWN all the time anyway for better rearward visibility. This was not a feature on all trims. It depends upon how far back and/or reclined the are the front seats -- mine clear without folding but sometimes not if my passenger has messed with his/her seat. What a crazy thing to...
As was said (and displayed above) feature/bug fixes rather than much if anything new. AND, these updates happen more frequently than you might think, I've seen several in 10 months. HOWEVER, my BL/BL also has Nav and I am getting map updates as well.
Curt, right? For 2" receiver, solid steel, black carbide-coated, 13,000 lb. cap. (!) D-ring with screw-in pivot/bolt. I need to go out and tighten it up a bit with some pliers -- last thing I want is some crank coming along and removing it w/their fingers (the tongue is locked into the...
It has 2 hooks in front, nothing in back. If you have a hitch receiver, you can install what you want in the rear (removing anything for towing you might have installed).
Drivers should find also when frozen in their storage position and you try to operate, nothing happens. Thankfully they seem to be protected against this -- upon freeing them you get normal movement/operation.
Your BS/BB or other non-Badlands/First Ed. does not have locking for 4WD nor rear "differential." It should however do its best to distribute torque to wheels that have traction (instead of endlessly spinning the slipping wheels like any other 'normal' vehicle with open differential(s)). Even...
The smaller Yakima RTT on a Yakima rack -- even on a BL/BL (i.e. with moonroof) is just fine. But, the larger RTT, or adding any other stuff up there would "technically" put you over the rooftop DYNAMIC load limit -- i.e. going down the road. It's ALL about rollover risk/liability. It's not...
