  1. Spare tire question

    Yes, that is a "yes" . The Ford dealer where I leased the BB wanted about $800 (Cdn) for a mini spare wheel and tire and the jacking hardware ! I politely declined ! So, as you say, it must be a trim level difference or Ford has decided BBs shipped to Canada don't deserve spare tires ...
  2. Spare tire question

    My new 2025 BB came only with a tire inflator. Not sure if this helps but I found a used Ford aluminum wheel and a slightly used Yokohama Geolander (225/65 17) tire. This combo serves as my spare and it fits perfectly in the tire well when the rear floor is raised to its upper position. In my...

    And you've been a "Ford guy " ever since ?! Cheers
  4. What was your first car/truck/bike?

    My first vehicle could be described as a unique British car that hated Canadian winters ! It was a 1970 Sunbeam Alpine ( not the 2 seater sports car and not the iconic Sunbeam Tiger V8 !). This was a 4 seat fastback with a distinct sloping roofline (see Google for pictures). They were built...
  5. 2025 BS BL SQ digital display missing its numbers on tachometer and m.p.h.

    Yes, I saw something similar earlier this week. I have a 2 month old 2025 BSBB with about 2200 km on the clock. One morning I started the vehicle and there were no numbers showing on the tach. I drove to a grocery store and parked for about 30 minutes. When I restarted, the tach numbers...

    Thank you for this info, don't worry about a sketch, I now have a a good understanding of the function of ball plugs. I appreciate your comment "ChatGTP does not always know truth ". And here we thought that AI was going to be the answer to the world's problems ?! Cheers
  7. New Recall 25S62 released 8/4/25 to dealers for 2024-2025 BS and Escapes with the 1.5L; delivery hold for new vehicles.

    Hello, can someone explain what a "ball plug " is and can we assume that only a small number of BSs , built in a single day at the Mexican factory are affected ? Cheers
  8. Advice for correct gear/drive mode for our 2025 Big Bend please.

    Thank you Mark, as someone who learned how to drive in a '66 Chevelle, I am amazed by the technology/engineering in our new BSBB ! I am still working my way through the enormous Ford manual ! Cheers
  9. Advice for correct gear/drive mode for our 2025 Big Bend please.

    Thank you David, I'm an older guy from the frozen north who is used to putting a vehicle into a Low gear and then trying to crawl up a snowy or icy hill in the winter months. Going to have to start experimenting with the different drive modes on our new "Eruption Green" little rocket to take...
  10. Advice for correct gear/drive mode for our 2025 Big Bend please.

    Hello everyone The "driveway" at our cabin in central Ontario consists of a steep, loose gravel covered incline about 200 yards in length. The first part of the driveway has about a 25 to 30 degree incline which increases to about 45 degrees as one nears the "summit" of the hill. I am unsure...

  12. Wheel bolt pattern the same for all 2021 > 2025 Bronco Sports ??

    Thank you sir, you have saved me hundreds of $$$ on a spare tire ! So Ford supplied my new BS with a tire inflator and sealant but in the "Supplemental Owners Guide" that came with the car it says "The use of tire sealants can damage the tire pressure monitoring system " !! I think I will...
  13. Open window or air conditioning…

    Good to hear from a fellow Bronco Sport owner and Ontarioan ! It may not be "horribly " hot in your area of the province today but the humidex in Toronto is 40 C ( ? F) ! Just returned from a shopping trip , definitely had the A/C blasting in the BS. ! Cheers
  14. Wheel bolt pattern the same for all 2021 > 2025 Bronco Sports ??

    Just picked up my new 2025 BS BB last week and as many of you know , it came with a 12V tire pump but without a spare tire, jack or lug wrench. The Ford dealer wanted about $700 to $800 (Can) to supply a mini - spare rim, tire and jack hardware ! A local tire shop suggested I try to find a...
