On our '23 Badlands, we got the "17" Carbon Gray Low Gloss Wheels" that came with the "Falken 235/65 R17 A/T Tires", which are the snow flake rated AT3's. This is an economical way to get the tires if you like the retro look wheels. We've been super happy with the the tires. We feel they are...
I use a cigarette lighter adapter with Power Delivery (Fast Charging) such as this one from Anker: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071WYF9HP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
The one I have is an older one, and it can connect to USB C or USB A for power/charging - but of...
I had the same apparent conflict shown in your first photo, but if you wiggle the long bolt around and unthread it sufficiently, it fully clears the hex head you need to access. You can then easily tighten down the cross bar to the mounting foot. Yakima could provide better instructions to...
We ordered our '23 Badlands with Premium and 360+ packages on Oct. 20, 2022.
- We received a VIN in an e-mail from Ford on April 13, 2023.
- As of yesterday, June 18, 2023, the car finally shows as "Built" on Ford's tracker.
-We had called Ford Customer Service (they have always been very...
This is why Jim Farley, Ford CEO, is moving to eliminate the dealer from the equation for their EV sales. Farley knows Ford is competing with Tesla and it has already been proven: 1) a dealer is not needed for selling the EV; 2) local dealer service is not important for EV's - since they...
We have both an electric snowblower and several e-bikes. We love both. After using a gas snowblower for 40 years, the electric (Toro E26 V60) is so much nicer. No gas to deal with, starts every time and in big snow storms no need to run to the gas station to refill. The e-bikes save my...
Replacing batteries in an EV is a scare tactic formulated by the oil and gas industry. We owned an EV for 4 years and both my kids own EV's. Batteries in EV's last a long, long time these days - expect the older NCM chemistry batteries (in many current EV's) to last 10 years or so before your...
Yes, we had an EV for 4 years and loved it. The only reason we are getting a Bronco Sport is it will "bridge" us a couple of years - to when we trade it in for our next EV (we are on a pre-order waiting list for an EV). It would be awesome if Ford came out with a BS EV, but Ford is mostly...
I could not determine if the "sales" numbers reported above were just sales, or were actual deliveries. Since we've been waiting 6 months on our '23 BS Badlands, would more Bronco Sports show in the tally if they were actually available?
Windshield damage is a problem with ALL newer cars. The auto manufacturers have gone to thinner and thinner glass to reduce weight and improve mileage. Your Bronco Sport is just typical of any newer car.
Any car with a more vertical windshield will suffer more from damage. My 2014 Jeep...
Tamaramac, thanks for the info. We were only provided an "order summary" by our dealer, not a "build sheet". The order summary does not show an order number.
Tamaramac:
Hi, can you explain the details a little more?
We ordered a loaded 2023 Badlands in mid-October and received an email on 10/20/22 from Ford "confirming the order". But we have no order number or VIN from Ford. The dealer gave us an order number, however, Ford's website does not...
