  1. New Bronco Sport trimline - the covered by warranty

    We need to rename this form to the Bronco Sport Whining Gallery. Frustrating for sure but you can go into any brand dealer and you will find new vehicles with all sorts of issues.
  2. Interesting comparison video of Bronco Sport vs BRONCO: "I Paid $5,000 More for a Bronco with Less Features"

    The big Bronco has to have at least the badlands package, without it then it's just a mall crawler/ lifestyle vehicle. I have been tempted by the big Bronco but deep down know I'll never really use it for what it is. Plus the MPG is terrible. My BS is a highway runner with the occasional chunky...
  3. Video: Ford Bronco Sport DESTROYS the TFL Slip Test & Offroad Course

    Yellow, white, with a brown interior. What was Ford thinking.
  4. My Iconic Silver BigBend experience cut short (totaled)

    Other than what is visual what did they come up with for the repair estimate? Doesn't seem all that bad.
  5. Most annoying issue you see while driving?

    How we don't yet have a nationwide ban on the use of phones while driving is beyond me. With real consequences. I see it all the time when on the road, driver's doing 80+ looking down at their device in another world. Drivers that cross a road in front of me while im traveling at speed with...
  6. Bronco Sport Badlands Canister shield part number?

    https://www.jcroffroad.com/product/BSSD-FLEV-1G.html These are on my list.
  7. Belly pan

    I have the Rival and have to remove the entire thing. JRC you do not, it has the ports for bot filter and drain. I would have gone with the JRC, but Rival was the only option at the time. The rival is pretty heavy and kinda a pain but only takes me a couple of minutes to remove it, I have done 3...
  8. Which fuel is recommended for the 1.5?

    The 1.5 isn't that bad, why people go on about it I don't know. I don't think people can wrap their heads around the fact that it's a 3 cylinder. Is it fast, no, but it gets the job done just fine. Premium did zilch for performance. Even in hot weather, I doubt the butt dyno will register...
  9. What's the worst exterior mod you've done, or viewed done?

    I'm calling out Ford, all heritage BS, and heritage Bronco's are not pretty.
  10. What auto insurance company do you use?

    Progressive has the most competitive rates for us currently. I shop around quite a bit, no reason to be loyal to an insurance company. Sick with the larger carrier, they will all try to screw you when you have a claim. Did a USAA quote, was quite a few hundred higher for the year. Being in the...
  11. Transmission oil life question...

    I only change them if there is a failure or issue. But if one coil pack fails, then I'll change all of them. I'm sure there are lots of opinions out there, but these are things I have always done and worked fine for me. Some people take maintenance to the next level with 3k oil changes, 12k...
  12. Transmission oil life question...

    Again can't hurt anything. I just pulled the plugs on my Focus RS yesterday at 65k miles, they look good. But will be changing them on the next oil change. One of the guys went to 100k miles and even his looked good. Granted being in the head that long things can get crusty the sound they make...
  13. Is there one option that you think is a useless one?

    Downloading an updated map now. Will give it a go. As you mentioned it would be nice to have a backup.
  14. Transmission oil life question...

    My book and online says for normal operation change trans fluid at 150k miles. I'm planning on every 50k for the trans. I just don't buy into the lifetime fill stuff personally. It's such a cheap maintenance item why not do it early? Same with the all-wheel drive PTU (power transfer unit) that's...
  15. MPG Challenge. Finally hit 33.8 mpg

    Mine usually reads 2 or 3 mpg higher than the actual calculation at fill-up. I'm not really tracking but will run the numbers every few fill-ups. I think the best I have seen, 100% highway driving at 78mph was around 26mpg actual, and that's with larger Falkon Wildpeak tires fitted. Was around...
  16. Is there one option that you think is a useless one?

    -Factory NAV is garbage. But it came with the 360+. I always just download offline maps on my phone via google maps and use Android Auto. No issues navigating in bad reception areas in the Carolinas. -Wireless charger, useless if using Android Auto. Even with the wireless Android Auto adapter...
  17. Which fuel is recommended for the 1.5?

    I tried 93 for 2 full fill-ups on my 1.5. Absolutely zero difference in performance, engine smoothness, even MPG was the same. Save your money and just use 87 is my recommendation.
  18. Question about dash cam / battery usage

    Does your dashcam have an optional backup battery available? You could have them wire it switched power in the fusebox, then the backup battery can take over from there. I just have a simple dashcam by Garmin with a built-in battery. I have it wired up to the 12v outlet in the console, with...
  19. Doors not locking as I walk away?

    Doors don't auto lock when you just walk away. Gotta touch the top side of the door handle to lock the doors. No need to pull the key out.
