  1. Show us the trailers hitched up to your Bronco Sport

    I towed it for two camping seasons here in the Northeast, Adirondacks, Poconos, Smokey Mountains. Keeping an eye on it, It was fine except on long upgrades the transmission tended to run a little hotter. I traded it over the Winter for a Maverick with the 4K tow package. Now the transmission...
  2. Tired of reading negative on the 1.5's?

    Had my Outer Banks for 3 years and 30,000 miles with no problems. Pulled a 2,000 pound camper all summers also.
  3. Keep my Bronco Sport Big Bend or trade for hybrid Maverick

    I feel no difference on the interior seating height. Controls are the same as my Sport. Everything in my Maverick XLT feels pretty much the same as my Bronco Sport. The Mav overall seems to sit a little higher. My Bronco Sport all weather floor mats fit my Mav perfectly. The shape of the hood is...
  4. Keep my Bronco Sport Big Bend or trade for hybrid Maverick

    I traded my OB for a Maverick XLT with the 4K tow package. I liked the sport but the 1.5's transmission was heating up on long hills towing 2K. Planning on some larger hills so I figured it was time. Towed fine otherwise on the flats but the Maverick AWD with the 2.0 and larger transmission...
  5. Would you trade in the Sport for the Big Bronco? Why or why not??

    I traded my OB for a Maverick XLT with the 4K tow package, not a full size Bronco. Didn't want the Bronco's soft roof as we carry too much on top. I liked the sport but the 1.5's transmission was heating up on long hills towing 2K. Planning on some larger hills so I figured it was time. Towed...
  6. New TSB issued regarding water pumps

    Traded in my Bronco Sport last November but have a new spare water pump for it (the newer one) sitting here in the box along with some other Sport stuff. Didn't want to be stuck with the 1.5 water pumps on backorder if I needed it. I put my spare set of 18" OB wheels and my spare floormats on my...
  7. Read Before you buy a Bronco Sport!!

    I had my outer banks for almost three years and had none of those problems. It was no big deal opening the gate and the glass opening was great for carrying long pieces of lumber. Had no problems shifting and towed my 2K camper with no trouble. Only reason I traded it was for more towing...
  8. What's up with the light up numbers on the side of my door?

    Been using these for almost 20 years and its never happened.
  9. Falken Wildpeak AT/4W Tires Review After 500 Miles

    Spinning weight is more critical than static weight in a vehicle and the further it rotates from center the more critical it becomes. Especially on acceleration where your MPG is at it's worst.
  10. Anyone replace windshield yet?

    A hail storm cracked mine last year. Around $1,000 but in New York there's no deductible on glass. I did have to pay $250 deductible on the other $5,500 in hail damage dent repair. :(
  11. Water pump failure

    Seems to be a common problem. Bought a spare pump (version B) for my '21 so I'd have it if needed in case they were backordered again. Traded the Sport in but still have the new pump. :crackup:
  12. Bottle Opener rant - The upside down Ford Bottle Opener

    They needed to make a video because they realized some don't have the skill to figure out how to open a bottle with anything but with what they were taught as a child.
  13. Bottle Opener rant - The upside down Ford Bottle Opener

    I've had no problem. Maybe you should switch to cans.
  14. Throwback Thursday!!! Let's see those trade-ins vs what you have now photos!!!

    Traded in my '21 Sport OBX for a '23 Maverick XLT w/ 4K towing. (Kept the wheels) :crackup:

  16. Does anyone actually pull a trailer

    My Sport with the tow package towed my 2K camper... just. The transmission heated up too much on long grades. I put in a gauge to watch it. Switched to the Maverick with 4K towing, beefier suspension, lower gearing, larger tranny cooler, radiator, and fans. Measuring at the wheel well, my Sport...
  17. List the deleted items from the '21 to '23

    I miss all the stuff my '21 OB had. I have a loaded '23 Maverick LXT now. Loved the blacked out keypad on the OB. My '23 Maverick has a wired keypad on the column but none of the Mavericks have it for '24. Everyone is stuck with the ugly stick-on which now has to be programed by the dealer for...
  18. Factory Tow hitch, install after purchase....Any one?

    No but I believe the engineers he finely got an answer from and after towing 2,000 pounds with it for over two years and watching the transmission temp on long hills I have to agree with them. I'm betting you know more than Ford engineers though. :D
  19. Sync 3 and USB stick

    I have around 6,000 songs that worked on both A and C ports. Only the two under the dash are for data. Others are only for charging.
  20. My spare water pump arrived today.

    Well, now that I have it I won't be needing it. Traded the Sport in for a Maverick.
