That feeling you describe is fairly common with high gear count automatic transmissions from what I understand. I was commenting to my Ford shop that six better paced gears would be nice on the BS vs the eight we have and they mentioned that the 10 spd transmission in the Ranger is problematic...

My source? Nope. But I think it may well have been this forum or it’s associated FB group. However, I am at a loss to explain why it revs higher at highway speed than the other modes do if it is in its highest gears. That simply wouldn’t be possible. I don’t mean sport mode’s irritating...

Sort of. The car locks out 7th and 8th gear in sport mode even at higher speeds. It also remaps the throttle a bit. I have also found zero issues smacking the throttle and hitting red line in normal mode if I feel an urge to do so. @the op - sport mode will not damage the engine.

Adaptive cruise radar is in the grill where it can die a weather related death. the rest is up at the top of the window by the mirror. General response - I find the car is ok in the snow with Falken Wildpeak Trail tyres, but no where near as good as a Golf7 with narrower real winter tires. The...

For me, I would swap my Bronco Sport in a heartbeat. Not because I do not like it because I do, but my needs/interests have changed. I have no interest in a big bronco either but would dearly love a dual cab Ranger.

The exact same thing can be said about bigger heavier tires and lift kits. That will strain stuff as well.

While I agree that this is bogus because it isn’t like Toyota is doing anything to start it from their end, once the trials for anything in my BS stop, they stop. I won’t give Ford or anyone else a red cent in subscriptions. Remote start, satellite radio, “on-star”, or any of that isn’t worth a...

People have shoved Fiestas north of 300hp before with the dragon engine. I don’t imagine it would last as long, however. if we could get a decent diesel in there, tuned it would be amazing.

I appreciate the character and the (potential) rigidity, but the way it was done perhaps is lacking. I like the bits of styling that are old truck old Land Rover old bronco stuck into this thing. But it shouldn’t come at the expense of usability. ?

Doesn’t change the fact that the hood shape is rather stupid. Looks cute, but is a problem for glare if your commute takes you the right way in low sun.

I am not cool enough to hang stuff there seeing as I don’t live in an action movie. The zipper pouch though is quite good for holding and charging an iPad though.

My take on this is that it is not for off road so much as for what a rally car might encounter when it compresses over a hill top jump. Makes sense as the company is a rally car prep company. Also makes sense since at its best, the Bronco Sport has more in common with a Subaru WRX in rally spec...

Yep. That I did.

Not so much in a Canadian winter ?

It lets light in. During the winter, that is golden.

QUOTE="McBrideless, post: 71819, member: 3175"] Crazy that people on a Bronco Sport forum would like Bronco Sports. Who woulda thunk? Oh you can like something just fine without acting like you are in a cult ?

Got a little grubby the other day.

True that!

I am looking forward to the day we all get electric cars. People will explode when they have a cover but no engine. Should be fun to watch ???
