Nice post. I like my Bronco Sport. I've minimally upgraded it with tires, lift and other things like lettering and badges. I didn't do diligence in buying mine. I was only looking at the gas mileage. I traded a 2020 Ranger that was customized from the dealer. It was so bad ass I had to go...
I think they are hit and miss. If yours fit great, that's fine. They just might be designed to have a little overhang. Mine were really out there. I thought about trimming them but that would just leave the inside open to catch dirt and mud. My biggest issue was the rear doors not fitting. I am...
Well, as expected, they scammed me. I sent them many more picture's of the ill fitting flares an here is their answer:

Mike,
After looking at your video and pictures that you sent us, we have determined that the fitment is adequate and...
These flares are flush at the fender next to the door. The front of them needs about 1-2 inches trimmed. The rear flares need to be cut to be able to open and close the door. Yes these are the same Iflares. I bought them from the link in your post. On my 2020 Ranger I paid a lot more for Air...
On another note, do all the Bronco Sports have the little Bronco window sticker just below the rear windshield washer? I can only see from the inside because of the tinted glass.
I took it back to Ford today and they replaced the AWD module. On the way home my mph was 2.5 mph faster on the highway. 72.5 mph was actually 75 mph and below 50 it was only 1 mph faster than actual. So at those numbers I am not going to worry about it. That's not enough to get a ticket. Also...
You are correct that the original metric specs are 2202. All the charts I used for the 245/65/17 came out to 2357. Mostly all came up with the 2357 value. However many were all over the place for the 225/65/17. Some were 2273, 2275, etc. So you may be correct in your results. I wonder how so...
I have 3000 miles on my 2023 Big Bend and I get 29 to 33. Only upgrades have been 245 KO2's and a mini lift. I used the ECO mode in the beginning but the normal mode gets the same. I am pleased.
I've been married 45 years to 5 women....nope just kidding. I love my wife. She doesn't always appreciate my sense of humor....well seldom, but we have a great retired life.
I am definitely convinced that Forscan interfered with he function of the AWD module in the BCM. At least on my 2023 Bronco Sport. It doesn't like having the tire size changed. The Ford service tech confirmed this. I do not know if it just a malfunction on my BCM or all are like this, I had...
Actually, I can't say for sure but I think so. Everything was fine for the double honk and the Bambi lights. When I changed the tire size, the codes come up soon after. First the AWD fault which was the culprit for the PCM to get confused. The service tech validated this by saying the BCD had...
Ok. Ford said there was a fault in the BCM and they reprogrammed it. That restored all my rewrites. So on the way home I got 29 mpg. On the highway my speed was 75 mph on my digital speedometer on my phone and 72 on the Bronco. At 50, my speed was 51. Of course the annoying double honk was...
When I was younger, they said I looked like Joe Cocker. When I got older, they said I looked like Jehtro Tull. Now Joe is dead and Ian Anderson doesn't have any hair left. Thank you for the comparison.
WTF? First I get a message that the AWD isn't functioning properly. Powertrain malfunction/ reduced power. So I couldn't read or clear the DTC. I researched the fault and some said to disconnect the negative terminal for an hour. I did. Nothing. So I left it off all night. I get up this...
