lol.... the rally participants would NEVER report an issue like that, at least publicly. Would you? Most of them were connected with Ford to some degree, I believe, including the marketing director. I conducted road race testing for a manufacturer about 15 years ago and the contract was very...

I second the motion.

I seriously doubt Ford would do that right now. With COVID, the new Ranger Tremor and a Timberland trim for the Explorer their plate is full. However, I would almost guarantee two future trims giving Ford's past behavior. A BS with a meaner look, like a BS Raptor, raised up 1-2 inches with...

I originally liked the golden, cyber orange as seen in the promotional pictures, but the actual production color was too school bus yellow. I suspect the cost was too high for a genuine hot wheels color.

Can't wait that long. I don't believe the Tremor packages will be available until the summer or later, possibly fall given the COVID situation.

Hard to tell what Ford will be doing next year. They seem laser-focused on the Broncos. The Ranger Raptor was an option but I'll have to move to India to buy one since they are only being released there in the near future.

Very interesting. Thanks! This vehicle hits all of the marks. They also make a blacked out edition with those brass rims. Reviews were A+ with good handling and good acceleration. Not sure when the 2021's will be out. With COVID getting worse and worse, I'm thinking all new vehicles will be...

I'm likely to go back to looking at pick-ups. As noted before, I'm on a tight deadline and I won't have a lot of time to evaluate a first production year vehicle before then. As I pointed out before, even the crash testing is not completed. I'm not pulling the plug yet, just looking at options...

This is also my opinion. Well said.

The real question is if the computer unit is overheating from processing speeds and/or environmental heat (or both). We don't know yet. I'm not planning on driving it in sand mode here in Arizona where the ambient temp. can be 116+ in the summer with even higher temps. near the surface. I would...

I think one of the problems is that people are wanting the BS to function like a big Bronco. It's not the same beast. Even in my up-and-coming Badlands, I would not subject it to a torture test like the Big Bronco or a Raptor. The BS is designed for "leisurely" off-roading, not racing in the...

I believe the overheating is a legitimate concern, especially if such a small sampling had issues. We don't know the details, but I certainly want more information. And I point out these test drives were in rather mild conditions.

So far, I'm pleased with the reviews. I have yet to confirm headlamp efficiently at highway speeds. Again, my only concern is the first build year. There has never been a first year vehicle that did not need revisions in the following year. I'm against a hard deadline to build a storm chase...

I'd be surprised if it's actually out by next fall. The good news for big Bronco fans is there is nothing on the radar to compete with it for at least 3-4 years.

Overall, I'd say the reviews were in the "excellent" range. I don't care how the interior looks. It's not made to be a Rolls-Royce and I'd rather have a basic interior than the fake wood that looks like cr__p in the Telluride. Much easier to clean. The power distribution sounds good for the...

True, but we don't know if the overheating was the PTU or the issue as you described. I suspect it was as you noted as it would be hard to believe a PTU overheated in 82 degree temps. It would be very unlikely I would be doing that kind of driving regardless. I'm sure they did testing in hot...

I would not take delivery until February, so I have a lot of time to decide. Someone really needs to do a torture test, not the controlled reviews.

Yes, good points. Thanks...... but still needs to be confirmed either way. The review: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/reviews/2021-ford-bronco-sport-preview/#comments Unfortunately, there are no options for comments or questions.

Thanks for the review and honest opinions. The Trailhawk is still a top option for me also. From the commercial reviews released today, I've seen hints of a few **potential** issues with the BS. I believe these are "first build" bugs if true. One reviewer had his BS overheat in 82 degree F...

Did not learn too much more from the reviews, but there were a few yellow alerts if you read carefully, past the PR stuff. Most of what the reviewers were saying is already known. I was somewhat concerned about the "constant corrections needed" when driving at highway speeds." Something to be...
