Unfortunately the coolant level looks low. You can fill the coolant resovoir to a more normal level and keep an eye on it.
More likely than not your Sport has a coolant leak and usually it's the water pump. If your vehicle is still under warranty take it to the dealer so they can make it right
From the 2025 Bronco Sport HTML manual online:
Engine Oil - Engine Oil Capacity and Specification - 1.5L EcoBoost™
Engine Oil Capacity and Specification - 1.5L EcoBoost™
Use oil that meets the defined specification and viscosity grade.
If you do not use oil that meets the defined...
Luckily for you and your passenger the situation worked out with minimal damage and nobody got hurt, it's still not a pleasant experience.
Doing some canyon sport riding on my motorcycle about a month ago I had a couple of deer jump on the highway in front of me, had I been going faster the...
I don't know how you can get better mileage driving off road unless it's in an open area at a decent clip or going down hill the the whole time.
When I'm off roading my Badlands on trails it would be quite the feat to even do 20 mph, most of the time I am creeping along and if looking at the...
I believe all the early year Sports have trailer sway control (my 21 Badlands has it and I do not have the tow package) I've read other posts stating the same.
I don't know if later model years have it, with Ford changing what's standard and what's optional latlely.
Even with small trailers you...
My 2021 Badlands with 245/65R/17 tires gets high 18's to low 19's mpg city and mid to uppers 20's on the highway, using normal mode and not driving to try and maximize mpg.
Just leave it in normal mode until you start loosing forward momentum. If the driving situation gets difficult you can change goat modes and lock 4WD and or the RDU as needed. Above all have fun.
Unfortunately if the Op's Sport is at Ford to be repaired, you end up paying full retail for parts.
If the Op's Sport has the speacial alternator with the 110 volt output they cost more than the standard type, at one time the retail price was over $1100 dollars.
For dealer labor, cost is based...
When I was ready to purchase after driving all the Sport models in the I didn't choose any of the 1.5 models, the engine just didn't seem refined enough.
I had to have the AWD/4WD module replaced in my Badlands, it had a 4WD fault. The initial diagnosis had the replacement cost a little over $800 dollars, I was just outside the 3yr/36k warranty by 4 months but not by mileage and as you know the module is not covered by the powertrain warranty...
A charging system fault/failure will cause numerous system faults if they are not receiving the correct voltage or none at all. Unfortunately you are outside of any warranty period unless you have an extended warranty.
Did Ford give you a diagnosis?
Assuming the drive/accessory belt didn't...
To answer your question I also have a Badlands, I typically change the oil in the 5k mile range well before the oil life monitor tells me to do it.
If you purchased the Sports this year that's alot of driving to have 11k miles on one Sport and almost 16k miles on the other Sport in 7 and 8...
If not suspension related, another item that can cause metallic clanking noise over rough surfaces is a bad engine mount or lower torque arm (transmission.mount) there are a few people on the board that have posted about it. You can do a search.
If your Sport had a lift I would say check the sway bar end links, they clank when loose.
Strut bearings can also make noise if bad.
Other than driving, can you rock the vehicle hard side to side to see if it will make the noise you hear and help make it easier to find where it's coming from.
It was recently noted that the average new car price is 50k dollars.
A lot of people don't actually purchase their vehicles, they lease them which typically allows for a lower payment than when purchasing the same vehicle.
People also buy vehicles based on the payment they think they can...
