Has anyone who has gotten their delivery put a rooftop tent on their Bronco Sport yet? I am considering getting a tent, and I just noticed that it’s no longer an option on the configurator. It was when I first started looking at options. I’m wondering if the roof is too small.
I’m still waiting for mine to come in, but that looks like pretty much just normal driving for me. Maybe with the exception of not going for a long single speed cruise on the highway for awhile.
For me it was a matter of choosing a vehicle on a spectrum from sedan to rock crawler as far as on-road to off-road capability. My final three options were the rav4, Bronco Sport, or Bronco 2D. The rav4 has the best handling on road, gas mileage, and price. The Bronco 2D was the most capable off...
1. No it doesn’t cause wear and tear. Sensors on modern cars don’t shut it down because the limit has been exceeded. They shut it down because the limit (in this case a temperature limit) is approached and they are preventing wear and tear.

Before you change your order double check that the interior is what you want. I’m almost positive the Badlands interior isn’t any nicer than the Big Bend unless you also get the Badlands package for a couple extra grand. The Badlands upgrades are mainly for off road performance not luxury.
I disagree with a lot of your stuff, but they all fairly good faith arguments except one big one. You keep saying stuff like “leave you in a bad spot” or “leave you stranded”. That isn’t going to happen from this issue! You literally just sit there for a few minutes while it cools down, then you...
If you want a vehicle that will go all day in 100 degree weather doing aggressive off roading, the Bronco sport (or any other compact SUV in this class) is not your car. There is a decent chance overheat the transmission and will have to wait a few minutes for it to cool down. It will do better...
So I’m planning to order a Badlands and this issue had me concerned, but I did some further research, and found it’s not unique to the BS.
For example, the main alternative I was considering was a RAV4. I did a quick Google search on “RAV4 off-road AWD overheating”. I found multiple off road...
