I actually got an answer from Ford. "The suggested weight limits are flexible. As long as you aren't going over 125% of the load limit you will be fine - 10-20lbs wont affect the load capacity."
I'll be at 110 lbs, so it should be fine in my situation.
I am surprised to hear about all the differences between dealerships. The first one I went to took my order for invoice price. They wanted a refundable $500 deposit. Sadly, they were unable to submit the order ("due to parts shortages").
I stopped at another dealer the same day who took the...
This just in from my sales dude (email saved): "parts department told me that the suggested weight limits are flexible. They told me as long as you aren't going over 125% of the load limit you will be fine 10-20lbs wont affect the load capacity." Total weight for me is at 110
The manual actual says "panoramic roof", but the moonroof is not panoramic. Yakimas website says 149 lbs for the bronco sport "period" it does not have separate specs for those with a moonroof.
I recently learned the BS max dynamic roof load is only 100 LBS with a sunroof. I was equally set on having a sunroof and carrying kayaks, but it looks like I may not get to have both. Our kayaks with roof racks total 110-132 lbs and that's not including the crossbars. I need help weighing the...
I want to add my quandary to this thread. I have a Badlands with sunroof on order and also plan to haul two kayaks occasionally. The combined weight of the kayaks plus two sets of racks is 110 pounds. I have an email in to my salesman to get the weight of the Ford crossbars as well. Obviously I...
I initially ordered the cargo management system and then removed it after I learned maximum weight on top is only 30 LBS. Not very useful, IMO. Also, it reduces the width of the rear storage area due to the side rails
Would these help? I can't really tell by the photo, but it says they keep out the rain and snow https://accessories.ford.com/products/bronco-sport-2021-low-profile-4pc-smoke-side-window-air-deflectors
It's been over nine years since I've bought a new car, but I remember being offered extras at the time of sale in addition to the extended warranty. With my last car, I bought the "Polly Steel" coating for the paint. I believe it was a good investment because I sold that car in "outstanding"...
I stopped by my dealership today for another test drive and my sales dude says he PROMSIES I will have my Badlands by summer. He said they are giving higher priority to the higher trims now and mine is listed as a priority 1 - YAY!
I don't know how accurate this information is, or if you even care, but my dealer advised taking the cargo mat off the order as it can slow it down. He said that can easily be added later.
New to the waiting room! I posted on another thread, but thought I would chime in here as well. Badlands in red with both packages, sunroof, and floor mats. I added the cargo management system after seeing a thread that it costs way more to add it later. The dealer had me leave the cargo mat off...
I'm okay with the wait since I went in expecting it would be 4-6 months. Plus it gives me time to save more towards my downpayment and sell my current car for top dollar. Now, if it goes much more than six months and I'm without my car, the pressure will be on!
Premium, 360, and moonroof. I'm really hoping it was just that dealership being blocked from ordering due to their shady practice of padding their inventory and they just told me they couldn't place an order with those packages to save face
They got a copy of my license and I signed the build form yesterday around 2:00. This dealership doesn't require a deposit to place an order (my friend also ordered from them last year with no deposit and recently got their BS). I realize it's going to be a long wait, but the thing that has me...
I've never named a car before (which is surprising considering I'm a "car" person). My order for a Badlands hasn't even been accepted, yet I feel compelled to name her Scarlet (because she will be red) and will even get a vanity plate with an alternate spelling of her name. My friend got a...
