  1. Is MSRP still considered a fair market price?

    For $35, you can buy that same BL with the X-Plan and still get the $1,000 bonus ... so, $1,000 under X-Plan. As mentioned above, a given dealership does not have to participate in X-Plan pricing, but there are so many dealerships out there that the X-Plan should always be the worst deal anyone...
  2. Is MSRP still considered a fair market price?

    When I bought my truck in 2019, it was pretty easy to beat X-Plan. Today, it's still not back to that level. For current-year models, prices are at or very near MSRP. X-Plan is the best deal I've seen locally and anecdotally ... so, it's worth the $35 to get X-Plan for those of us without...
  3. Seat covers for heated seats

    We use the rather thick Carhartt seat covers on a Subaru. I assumed that they'd render our heated seats useless. I was wrong. The covers are not as insulating as I feared and I can feel the heat just as well as before. 4 years later and it's all good. I'd expect the same experience with...
  4. Bronco Sport Payload for over landing and upgrading?

    That's misleading. The Big Bend has a theoretical maximum possible payload of 1,170. An actual Big Bend that rolls off the line will have less than that. (Available) Payload is vehicle-specific and depends on the options on that vehicle. Every vehicle has a unique payload capacity and it's...
  5. BFG KO2 (or Falken WildPeaks) without lift on Badlands, 235/65/17 or 245/65/17 ??

    The 2023 unintentional comedy award winner is right here ... and it's not even half way through the year.
  6. Black letter overlay yay or nay

    Nay. Particularly the overlays that let the white edges show through. Looks beyond awful. But, who cares what randos on an anonymous forum think about something so personal and subjective?
  7. Pedal Commander/AFE Cold Air Intake

    This isn't quite correct. There are some really good YouTube videos where people show how these work. It's not merely a force multiplier of your foot. It changes the rate at which the throttle plate opens. Even with wot, the vehicle's computer works against your foot and the pedal commanders...
  8. What's up with the light up numbers on the side of my door?

    I think reminding people that information is in the manual is on-point and very helpful. The reality is that many people forget that they have this wonderful reference tool right at their fingertips. Those things are like 700 pages long. There is a ton of useful info in there. How to change...
  9. Looking for a snorkel for the BS.

    Excellent point. On my F-350, many people were experiencing electrical issues on the various connectors under the bed (trailer lights, tail lights, etc.). It was discovered that many of the connectors weren't sealed or "greased" from the factory very well. Most of us pulled the connectors...
  10. Snorkel for Bronco Sport

    Most of these aren't opinions on what the BS is capable of or the overall utility of snorkels. Most are restatements of facts about where electrical components are located or quotations from the user manual on the capability of the BS. By the time the snorkel comes into play, you've already...
  11. Does anyone actually pull a trailer

    You're towing a 3,000+ lb trailer with about 450 lbs of hitch weight. Do what you want, but you are advertising behaviors that are incredibly unsafe for you and your vehicle, not to mention the other people on the road with you. Will vehicles just catastrophically collapse when you overload...
  12. Mods required to turn the Sport BL into a respectable offroader?

    As others have said, the BS is one of the best factory-direct offroad vehicles on the market today. It meets almost any definition of respectable. However, it's not a true 4WD vehicle, has no low range, and the "lockers" aren't really lockers. These things will only really matter to someone...
  13. Video: Ford Bronco Sport DESTROYS the TFL Slip Test & Offroad Course

    Ford left out the power liftgate so they could save money. Seems like a poor choice.
  14. Video: Ford Bronco Sport DESTROYS the TFL Slip Test & Offroad Course

    I'm irritated at Ford for leaving things out like power liftgate, heated rear seats, etc., but this little XUV is an absolute beast. It'll be my wife's car and I'm delighted that she'll be in such a capable vehicle in the rural, snowy, dirt-road environment in which we live.
  15. Badlands vs. Heritage Limited for oversand (ground clearance? water fording?)

    Congrats. Those Falken tires are no joke. I had them on a previous F-150 and I'm looking forward to putting them on my F-350. It was literally a selling feature of the BL to me ... being able to upgrade to a true AT in the Falken Wildpeak AT3W. I'm not a fan of people naming their cars, but...
  16. Locking my BS with the keypad does not lock the tailgate.

    Wow, what a master class in thread hijacking. OP was asking about a problem with active locking of the tailgate using the securicode keypad. About half-way on page 1, this got hijacked into a thread about passive unlocking of the tailgate and potential fob issues ... pretty much the complete...
  17. Advice needed BB or OBX? Long post

    It's a really difficult question for others to answer for you, since the differences are all sort-of creature comforts. Leather interior is super important to some and not so much to others ... and so are most of the other differences. Best idea is to drive them both and experience the...
  18. What's the worst exterior mod you've done, or viewed done?

    Hood graphics Anything plastidipped (because plastidipped stuff looks exactly like plastidipped stuff) Too many emblems (script, plus bronco, plus custom, plus ... just pick one) Too many exterior accent lights Wheels larger than 17" diameter Rear mounted spare tire Carbon fiber overlays inside...
  19. AVS AeroSkin II experience / review ?

    If you search this forum for aeroskin, you'll have a couple hours of reading to do. Most of your answers will be found there. Short answer: 3M adhesive tape is quite strong, people generally really like the deflectors, don't know if it will last 5/10/15 years because, well, the BS hasn't been...
  20. 180 Front Camera

    I've become dependent on cameras since driving my F-350. While the BS isn't as big and cumbersome, cameras are still awesome. I'd have paid for the 360-deg cameras, if that was an option. One of the areas where Ford has the tech, but decided against offering it on its newest, flagship...
