  1. Highway Robbery

    Well, if your Badlands is worth $55K then my Heritage Limited is clearly worth 10% more but I'm willing to sell it at a discount to a fellow forum member/enthusiast... FS: 2023 Bronco Sport Heritage Limited, Yellowstone. $53,000 OBO. Yakima load bars are included for a full price offer.
  2. Flat tire experience and prep for next time

    Thanks for the reminder everyone. Looks like my Amazon cart is getting some new additions. Anyone play around with adding a 12v in the spare tire well to keep a jump starter and a headlamp charged continuously?
  3. RC Bull bar vs Black Horse Grille Guard

    QFT. A good friend and seasoned veteran of the body work side of the world calls them Overtime Bars. Because every time he gets a vehicle in with one, he's going to spend way too much time fixing and putting the vehicle back together because of the damage they do on impact. They look neat and...
  4. Auto Start/Stop Technique

    If I don't hit the button and shut it off at start it happens every single time it kicks on the first time. It is an annoyance. Not sure if I'm reading incorrectly but in my BS HL I can turn it off and still use the hold feature. Is that not an option on other specs? First vehicle I had with...
  5. Decal Removal?

    As others have said, light heat from a hair dryer and then use some dental floss to get underneath and above all WORK SLOWLY and methodically. It's going to be a PITA but it can be done. When you're finished clay bar and wax it focusing on the area the sticker was. Alternatively, find a local...
  6. Hello from Underground Graphics!

    Kicking around getting the base Heritage white stripe for my Limited.... Ballpark cost?
  7. Has anyone replaced with cross drilled and/or slotted rotors?

    I recall that test, Marc. And yes, generally speaking on higher performance vehicles the setup from the factory is still adequate for everyone except those of us that throw them around tracks or cones. And then there's the other part of the equation- the tires. Stickier rubber = faster stops but...
  8. Has anyone replaced with cross drilled and/or slotted rotors?

    Depends on the chemical compounds in the brake pads and rotors. Might actually be a bit louder since the surface is interrupted by the slots. Mentioned above I run Hawk HP+ on my e46 on factory discs. Noisy is an understatement. I’ve taken the system apart and regressed components, cleaned, etc...
  9. Has anyone replaced with cross drilled and/or slotted rotors?

    Forgot Baer in my post above, thanks. And I bet that 'stang will stop on a dime when you're done! For 90% of the driving public, OEM rotors and pads with quality brake fluid will be more than enough. Upgrading pads will help but increase brake dust and noise so there is that. OP: My...
  10. Has anyone replaced with cross drilled and/or slotted rotors?

    Be wary of "cross drilled" rotors, especially inexpensive ones. Unless you're getting into Brembo or Willwood upgrades they're almost always strictly for looks, are made like garbage in some Chinese factory and prone to cracking under pressure. The drilling process can weaken the rotor and...
  11. OEM vs U-HAUL vs DrawTite Receiver Install

    Etrailer's hitches are decent quality and their installs are PDQ. I installed a receiver on our Crosstrek to use a hitch basket and bike rack. Very well made and very easy to put in. Could be wrong but I thought the OEM tow package may have had some tweaks to the ECU? Might be wrong but it's...
  12. UAW

    The UAWs claims about stock buybacks being an issue regarding lower worker pay are disingenuous and in bad faith. Every single UAW member benefits massively from those in their pensions and 401Ks. When people bloviate about how awful buybacks are, remind them that 60% of the country owns...
  13. Whats the Cheapest Price battery out there for 21 Sport?

    Funny how that works out, isn't it? I don't think I've ever replaced a battery in the warmer months in nearly 30 years of owning and driving cars.
  14. I get this letter from Ford

    Thanks, that's reassuring. Dealer we bought from was an hour+ away and will never work with them or their chain again if I can avoid it.
  15. Who’s Waiting for a Bronco Sport Hybrid?

    I don't plan on trading for a hybrid BS but it would have been a strong consideration when we were shopping. (The RAV4 Hybrid was on the short list until we drove a gasser and was unimpressed.) I'm not their target at this point, they already have my money. I recall reading that the next...
  16. I get this letter from Ford

    Do I have to go back to the dealer I bought it from or can I just pick another dealer that's closer? I'd prefer never to have to deal with those assholes again.
  17. HRG Broke it? video

    I get what you're saying but there isn't any way a BS BL/HL is going to be able to do what a stock Rubicon can do. You're right- you dont need 40's and a straight axle for everything but when you do, its a game changer. This isn't the vehicle for the off road crowd- that's the domain of the full...
  18. HRG Broke it? video

    Pretty impressed the BS was able to do what it did. The Exploder... that's was wild.
  19. Blown Motor 2021 Bronco Sport Big Bend

    Carfax isn't perfect but it is helpful.
  20. HYBRID?

    FoMoCo hasn't really gone big on PHEVs... except for the Escape. I'd bet the hybrid Maverick and Bronco Sport come as both PHEVs and HEVs.
