I've got a fair bit of interesting stuff:
1965 Ford Mustang
1997 Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution
1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
1999 Nissan Silvia S15
2014 Honda Grom
And there's also a EV in there but we don't talk about that hah!
It's funny I really like the color on the Maverick, but not so much on the Bronco Sport. Maybe it's too much Yellow/Black going on for me. If I was a Steelers fan I might feel different.
Right away! I did the Ford Off-Roadeo after I had already sold my Bronco, and I felt a huge amount of regret and missed opportunity. These things are more capable than you might think, so have some fun but take it easy to start!
I sold my full-size 2dr and have been considering a Sport, possibly a Maverick. The fuel economy with the manual trans and 4-cyl was around 17 combined, hopefully will get more with a Sport! Had my fun, just want something more practical for daily use.
Definitely invest in a pair of nice ramps, they easily stow away and make a huge difference when working on your car, even if it's just to get a jack under.
Can't beat the OEM mats! We actually have some on-sale right now at AutoNation Parts.

In the past I've just plugged in a MagSafe charger and used that, you can use some adhesive to stick it in place, too. A moving vehicle + an unsecured charger is never a great combo, regardless of the case issue!
As mentioned reading the manual is 100% the right move, but I'd say try and get it off-road as soon as you can! Even if you don't plan on regularly off-roading your Bronco, knowing some of its off-road capabilities (nothing major even) will really help you feel comfortable behind the wheel.

I haven't experienced issues (outside the occasional road sign), but the systems aren't perfect. If it's happening way too often then worth asking Ford about it, could be an overly-sensitive light sensor.
Are they physically on the car but just don't light up? If so it reminds me of the older Tesla Model 3 that had fog lights (and rear speakers) but they weren't hooked up. Cheaper to mass-manufacture the parts but limit the functionality to the trims.
3-4 MPG is less than I would have expected! I had an EV truck and the range difference with the roof tent was... disturbing, even when placed over the bed. Also, that cover image is fantastic, great job with the build this definitely gives me some good ideas!
The squealing brakes when reversing is super common on the Range Rover Evoque, too! I had a friend with this issue and it seemed like there was no way of solving it. Hopefully the Bronco is different.
Also, great review. I'm impressed with how little you've had to do, maintenance/repair wise.
I bought a 2dr Bronco BaseSquatch, but now my wife is really into the Bronco Sport. She also can't drive the manual Bronco. I'm torn between a Sport and a Maverick right now, but unfortunately (in her words) the Maverick is "totally not as cute".
I'm fairly certain that's as big as the map will get with the Badlands size screen. Base models get a full-screen map, but it's a smaller screen and not as wide so it's necessary.
I've definitely experienced this in the Tesla world with friends and family wanting to upgrade to new newest model generations constantly, not unlike a new iPhone. I remember one went through almost every variation of the Model S (up to Plaid). At least when you get a new phone the carrier...
