  1. More on the 2025 Bronco Sport

    My SYNC isn't working, so it wouldn't be much use to me. Although I like the idea. Ford MobilTech has been out once for the SYNC recall and didn't get it installed. Supposed to be back out in a day or two. Two things that were mistakes by Ford in the BS introduction were installing lead...
  2. More on the 2025 Bronco Sport

    That's the reason I'm likely buying a Colorado ZR2. Makes the same torque as the Ranger Raptor with a 2.7L 4 cylinder turbo (430 lb-ft). This engine has been in full size trucks for a few years, so a proven engine.

    Invite your neighbors over for a fiesta featuring a whole pit roasted cabrito. :-)

    That doesn't necessarily mean a truck driven for personal use isn't a neccesity. Many people own heavy RVs, boats and other toys that require a truck. Ford's best selling and most profitable vehicles are trucks. Had Farely concentrated on building what customers want instead of what woke...
  5. More on the 2025 Bronco Sport

    True to some extent. But this move to digital is not driven by making a better driving expereience, it is happening because it is cheaper to produce. Right now I'm thinking about a mid-sized truck to replace my BS. The Ford Ranger makes you go into the screen to engage your front and rear...

    Maybe you live in a bubble, too! :-) Where I live lots of people use pickups in their jobs. Contractors, farmers, ranchers. True some folks don't need a truck, but legions of hard working people have to have a truck. And right now it's really difficult to get a Ford 2500. Few people drive...

    He should also know that they lose about $100k for every EV sold. Financial statements mostly speak the truth. Farley's statement about EV's is not supported by any factual evidence. I suspect he is trying to save his job over his blind commitment to EVs. I'v seen polls that reflect half the...

    As more controls are moved to the screen, a larger one is mandatory. Like it or not, it's the future.

    Farley lives in a bubble or is a liar. Or maybe both. I've always been a guy who puts his money where his heart is. This nutjob may have just driven me away from Ford. His biggest crime is losing billions on EV's that should have gone to shareholders and employees. He's too committed at this...
  10. More on the 2025 Bronco Sport

    New article on Ford Authority about the 2025 Bronco Sport. Really nothing new. But I read that there will be a decrease in hp on the Maverick, maybe the BS, too? I was hoping for a little more clearance, more performance, 245's from the factory. Some things that would up the off-road...
  11. Turbo Replaced, Drives Worst Than Before...

    Stories like yours are too common! Dealer can't look at this unit for six weeks! And it's been in and out of his shop. I've said it here before and I'll say it again. This type dealer service will continue as long as Ford allows it. They say they value their customers, but this type service...
  12. Interesting read

    I worked in the auto industry for 35 years and never liked auto stocks. I was forced to own some from time to time in SSPs, but as soon as I earned their match, I rolled them over to an IRA I managed and sold them. Never owned an airline stock either. I'm suprised some of the institutional...
  13. Mice above headliner?

    They would have always taken the same trail to the nest. It is likely marked with urine. Might be helpful to locate entry point. Try putting a trap inside. No poison. You don't want them dying in there for sure! Good luck.

    A raptor has to have performance as well as looks. Engine and horsepower are easy, more ground clearance not so easy with the unibody. A real off-roader also needs a low range. Difficult to impossible with the Sport. And the huge mark-ups on the Raptors have disappeared. There are still...
  15. Post recall software update blues

    I've not noticed any difference in the performance of my 23 BL. Only thing different is when I change modes from Normal to Sport I have to pause on Eco a moment before I move on to Sport. Previously I could just fast click two to the right if I was in heavy traffic. I like the immediate...
  16. Jeeps use ducks; what do Bronco Sports use?

    I'm old and grumpy. Rubber duckies and adults behaving like middle schoolers irritate me. Just give me a thumbs up and I'm happy to return the gesture.
  17. Post recall software update blues

    I feel for you. I can only imagine how helpless people feel in your situation. I'd get this rig running and trade it. My son runs a fleet of thousands of vehicles. Everything from a few half-tons to big rigs. He buys a lot of 2500 and 3500's. He has even bought a handful of BS for company...
  18. How to get more responsive engine / throttle?

    If you are getting up to speed on the interstate and the semi in your rear view mirror is growing alarming larger- this is not a subjective thing. I often use acceleration to move ahead of cluster-f***s on the interstate to get away from a dangerous situation. Get a half-mile ahead and then...
  19. Bronco Sport named best small SUV for initial quality in J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Initial Quality Study

    I've owned two new BL's and never had to return either to a dealership for repairs. Recently had the BCM/PCM update installed by Mobiltech. A sample of two doesn't mean anything statistically, but it means a lot to me. I'm completely satisfied with my BL experiences.
  20. Bronco Sport named best small SUV for initial quality in J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Initial Quality Study

    How about a little context for this puff PR piece? Let's see how Ford inital quality compares to its two main rivals, Chevy and Ram. See the attached graph.
