  1. Does 2.0L engine use cylinder deactivation like the 1.5?

    This is my first vehicle with the engine start/stop feature too. But I find it doesn't bother me much? So many people seem to really dislike it, but I was impressed with how well it all works, really. I mean, there's a lot of technology going into the thing (makes sure engine always stops with...
  2. Max speed when in 4WD?

    Honestly, if you're driving in a lot of sand (like on a beach), I imagine the same advice applies as did for my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Was always best to air down the tires to maybe 18-20psi, and to put them back at the manufacturer recommended pressure when you were ready to get back onto...
  3. 20% off Ford Accessories

    I didn't see a way to do it on the site either, but in my case, I couldn't even use the site to complete my order! I wanted to order the tow hitch and select the option to pay $200 extra for its installation. But when it offered me the list of Ford dealers to schedule the installation at, it...
  4. Is 360+ worth the upgrade?

    Just to add a few more random thoughts here? First, I *do* own a Tesla (Model 3 Performance) as my daily driver. I bought the Bronco Sport Badlands for the things the Tesla really isn't ideal for. (Driving on trails or dirt roads, for example, or using anything requiring a tow hitch, or...
  5. Official SHADOW BLACK Bronco Sport Thread

    So, I had this done to mine this morning .... white vinyl stripes down the sides and the hood decal with the distressed American flag and Bronco on it. Think it came out pretty good (although the overcast, rainy day today means this isn't the greatest photo right now).
  6. Coding to remove fake engine sound?

    Yeah... I wondered about this too. I used to own a Nissan 370Z NISMO edition with a Bose stereo that did the piped in fake engine noise along with active noise cancelling. Interestingly, people had luck disabling the noise on it by cutting a wire going to the Bose stereo power amp that handled...
  7. Holy price increase

    Yep, and what's funny now is, I see a whole lot of the early 2000's minivans running around (Dodge Caravan, Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country mostly), and almost none are getting used by the original/traditional audience of "soccer mom" types. A local cab company near me uses a fleet of...
  8. 12 Month 7300 Mile Review of Bronco Sport Badlands

    Appreciate the honest critique! I have barely owned my own '22 Badlands Bronco Sport a week here, but I've already noticed a couple of the same complaints you mentioned. The first real "bad impression" I got of cheap interior materials was when I went to turn on the rear wiper. That's got to...
  9. Holy price increase

    Yeah.... This has been argued a lot on other web sites discussing the Bronco vs. Sport. The thing is? I'm not so sure the fully loaded Bronco Sport Badlands vs. a lower trim level full-size Bronco are for the same audience? I know myself? I already went through my phase of wanting to build an...
  10. Anyone install gang AUX switches?

    Ok ... dumb question maybe, but what about that rectangular cover plate near the bottom of the dash panel? It looks like it's a punch-out to add a single rocker switch? Will one of them snap perfectly into that opening if you only want to add one switch?
  11. Holy price increase

    Just wanted to add that I previously owned a 2014 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon that I'd bought new back then. Seems like Chrysler had a policy in place from at least 2012 or so where they upped the price for those annually. It made Wranglers a popular buy for people in the sense they didn't seem...
  12. Holy price increase

    I went into shopping for my Badlands with that same mindset. Refuse to pay over MSRP no matter what. If others want to do so, that's fine by me. Supply and demand.... But MSRP tells you the full retail price the manufacturer thinks is the most the product is worth -- so paying over that is just...
  13. How come we haven't talked about gas prices? [Admin Warning: NO POLITICS]

    There's a lot to consider and I bet like many things, you can try to skew the math in your favor, whether you want to try to argue for or against electric? On the "pro EV" side? I'd say the following? - Electricity used to recharge your car comes from multiple sources. I know 40% or so was...
  14. How come we haven't talked about gas prices? [Admin Warning: NO POLITICS]

    I really think electric is a great option as we move forward, but it has to grow organically. If government gets involved and tries to push/mandate/incentivize it to artificially boost EV sales beyond what would sell normally each year? It will cause the exact problem you speak of here. I'll...
  15. Holy price increase

    Yeah, I really liked the cyber orange color, and I think the cactus gray was growing on me as my second favorite choice. I have this "love/hate" thing about that Area 51 color. It feels "retro", which isn't a bad thing when you're driving a vehicle that's been around for decades in one form or...
  16. Official SHADOW BLACK Bronco Sport Thread

    I'm curious if any of you with the shadow black have applied any vinyl decals to change the look? I may be in the minority on this, but I'm just not a huge fan of the "murdered" look. My theory on black vehicles is, the black paint tends to make them look a little more sporty when the lines and...
  17. Holy price increase

    Yep... I just bought a new Badlands off the lot a couple days ago after I realized it was the *only* one a dealership within about a 100 mile radius of my house actually had in stock. (Everyone else is showing photos of them that say "in transit" or "on order" as their status. And the dealers...
  18. Subwoofer Extremely Lacking in B&O System

    OMG! This is pretty unacceptable. I hunted all over for a Badlands edition largely to get one with this upgraded stereo in it. And a 6x9 for a sub?? B&O shouldn’t even allow their name on something like this.
