  1. Falken Tire Warranty ?

    This tire was an OE optional Falken Wild Peak AT 3W on my BL. If it must be replaced can I use a Wild Peak AT 3w 235/65/R17 A/T from my local tire dealer or must I match it with one from Ford ?
  2. Falken Tire Warranty ?

    It is an OE tire.
  3. Falken Tire Warranty ?

    My Bronco Sport BL came up with a flat this AM due to a screw in the tire. It is at my Ford dealer as I write this. Bronco is 8 1/2 months old and has 10380 miles on it. What, if any, tire warranty might cover any repair /replacement costs on this Falken Wild Peak AT 3W ?
  4. My car automatically goes into park!

    My Badlands does not do this. I tried going into both Drive end Reverse with the driver's side door open. A warning flashed on the dash that I was not in Park, but the car continued to stay in Drive/Reverse as I had chosen.
  5. Ford Announces EV Explorer, Avaitor and “rugged SUVs”

    One of the features that I like in the Bronco Sport Badlands is the compact size and efficient use of space. What happens to size/weight when you add a heavy battery and EV motor ? You get and Explorer EV which is bigger than I want.
  6. Help! I’m stuck in deep, slushy snow…

    When you are resting firmly on your skid plates, you are "high centered'. No amount of better tires will help, "high centered" is forever. Get a good shovel.
  7. Report on Badlands at Three months, 4000 miles.

    Zero problems. Comfortable to drive or ride in. Seats are good for 6 ft, 200 lbs me. Overall 25. 8 mpg Falken 235/65/17 R Wildpeak AT3 tires are quiet, smooth and good in mud and snow. Sound system very good, alltho Sirius XM cuts out occasionally. Adaptive Cruise Control + and lane centering...
  8. Oil change at what mileage / intervals?

    Had the dealer change oil today. The manual is vague about when to change, so I went with my usual 3-5000 mile interval. Badlands had 3450 miles on it and the oil information gizmo said 68 % life remaining , what ever that means. Used Pass Points.
  9. Keep’em or Ditch ‘em

    Your fiancé is correct and she had the class to refrain from saying "lipstick on a pig".
  10. Tow Hook and Dressing up the Trailer Hitch

    My Badlands with Tow package did not come with a tow hook in rear, two in front. Using my Ford Pass Points, I solved that problem. While at it, I found a sexy cap for the receiver on the hitch. The tow hook says it is rated at 12,000 lbs which should be enough to pull the rear end off my Bronco...
  11. Review of our new Badlands and comparison with our old Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

    I have had my Badlands w/ Badlands (w/ moon roof), tow, 360+, Falken 235/65/17, in Cyber Orange for just over two weeks now and here are some early impressions. Have driven 1250 miles with three trips of 200 to 300 miles each. No significant off road time yet. Very comfortable for both driver...
  12. Waiting room

    Waiting no more. The dealer called this morning around 0900 to tell me my Bronco Sport had come in last night. It came in two weeks earlier than Ford Vehicle Order Tracking was predicting. Badlands w/ Badlands Package ( incl moon roof), Tow. Falken Tires, 360+, Cyber Orange Was ordered 18...
  13. Premium Fuel ?

    Thanks, Michael. Your comments and the link to Escape Forum comments was very helpful. I asked because in a Mini- Cooper S the loss of performance with regular was very apparent.
  14. Premium Fuel ?

    It appears that I am within a week or two of actually taking delivery of my 2021 Badlands and am curious what owners of BS with the 2.0L engine are deciding about whether to use premium or regular gas. If any one has experimented, I would be interested in what you might have decided as to the...

  17. Waiting room

    At 0830 PDT, Ford Order Tracker changed from "Order Confirmed" 3-18-2021" to "In Production 8-27-2021" and "Built 8-27-2021", "Awaiting Shipping", "ETA 10-4". Interesting that my dealer does not have any of this information yet. On 20 August, the Ford Order Tracker added a note saying In...
  18. Floor Mats for Badlands

    Now that my Badlands appears to be in production, I need to decide soon on floor mats. Weather Tech or Ford Bronco Sports ? Spread out over the 7-8 years that I will likely keep this vehicle, the price difference is insignificant to me.

    Finally making progress on my order of 18 March of a BL/BL ( with Moon Roof ), 360+, Tow, Falken Tires, Cyber Orange. Yesterday, my Ford Order Tracker changed from "order accepted" to "In Production" and this AM I got a Window Sticker. Interestingly, my dealer has had an expected delivery date...
  20. Bronco Sport Badlands vs Cherokee Trailhawk Size comparison

    I found the review and comparison to be fair. I have had on order a BL/BL since 18 March. This is intended to be a replacement for my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with 109,000 miles on it. I ordered the BL/BL because I wanted something new and different than my last three Jeeps, not because I...
