IDK the margin Ford has with the 8F35 transmission
if the 8F35 torque rating is at 260 lb-ft. and the MPC engine is at 280 (@4500 rpm??), (260-280)/260 says the 280 is 7.7% over the 260 8f35 spec
Is that enough to damage the 8f35, do people actually run at 4500 max torque long enough to damage...
I just confirmed that the revised MPC 2.0 liter MPC engine in 2025 Badland models do NOT have a gasoline particulate filter and has the full 250 hp. Also confirmed with Ford customer service that the 2025 2.0 has 250 hp and the torque increased from 277 to 280 lb/feet. Also the highway mpg...
Referring to the 2025 Bronco Sports - which have the MPC Engine, both the 1.5L and 2.0L and MPC is in other Ford vehicles

Just a quick note: Ford no longer give the owners manual with the Ford Broncos. You have to down load it, and print it if you want a hard copy. I think it is close to 500 pages. or you can read it on-line from the screen in the car. I printed the page for the instructions on lowering and...
Nice pics!!
Ford stock EFB … that’s a surprise. It may mean Ford has solved all of the charging issues with the ’21-‘24. It is the MPC engine so perhaps that issue with the battery charging is fixed.
Did you notice yet if the rear seat headrests fold down?
Bronco Sport ‘25s all have the MPC 1.5L or 2L variant:

if the OP decides for a 24 and 2.0 I agree…I wouldn’t recommend the MPC 2.0, it now has a very expensive particle filter - just like in a diesel - that will require repairs/maintenance…you can blame California for that one.
Keep in mind the 2025 models have entirely new MPC modular powerplants. Both the 1.5 and 2.0 displacements. So we are possibly at square one for measuring reliability…
