  1. Ford to halt production of Bronco Sport for 2 weeks in June due to chip shortage

    Here in Traverse City our Kia Dealer has exactly 5 cars, all Serentos. The Hyundai dealer has less than ten, only three models. There is one Rav4 at the Toyota dealer, a few pick-ups. There are no VWs of any sort. The Subaru lot looks pretty full, as does the Jeep and GM dealer. The Honda dealer...
  2. Interior scratches easily from a dog?!?!?

    First scratches are the worst. eventually, there will many and it won't bother you.
  3. 2022MY Bronco Sport Dates: Order Acceptance, Scheduling and Production Start

    If race red is available for 2022, I will cancel my current order and wait until I can get outer Banks race red. It is what I have been waiting for.
  4. Wish there was manual shifting

    The issue is US dealers hate them, and don't want them. Not enough people in the US know how to drive them, so if you put a car with a manual on the lot, you cut your potential client base down to about 15%. They also don't like them for the stupid EPA ratings. Sticks always get lower EPA...
  5. Things no one talk about Bronco!

    I learned about resale value. I owned a Crosstrek for 4 years. I bought it for $24,000 and sold it for $19,000, in my mind great value retention. But I didn't enjoy the car. It did it's job. No trouble at all, but I like to enjoy driving. My $15,500 Fiat 500 is still going strong. it's ten years...
  6. Waiting room

    With whom is your complaint? There are no cars on any dealer lots. You can't even order a new Toyota or Honda in Michigan, and there are none on the lots. You can shake your fist at Ford, but you are really just dealing with a temporary, world-wide shortage. If you really need a car you might...
  7. Big Bend v Outer Banks

    I think adaptive cruise comes with the 360+ option in any package.
  8. Waiting room

    Beauty. That's mine three months early.
  9. Anyone pulling camper?

    You can tow many things under 2,000 pounds, Fishing boats, utility trailers, pop-ups, jet skis.
  10. Anyone pulling camper?

    I had a Coleman Toas. Slept 4 easily, 900lbs empty, but no bathroom. There's lots of pop-ups that are light enough, you can stow that much gear in a pop-up bit the BS should be big enough to hold all your gear. I pulled it with a Saturn SL (1500lbs max tow), all the gear for a family of 4 with...
  11. Interview with Adrian Aguirre, Bronco Sport chief product engineer

    Skip the first 30 minutes. go to 29:03
  12. Waiting room

    For what it's worth. I think the dealer is a big factor. I ordered my OB on June 4, 2021. I sat with my salesman as he entered the order in the ford system. He entered my email right on the form. When I got home there was already an email from ford with the order summary. This morning, June...
  13. Ordering Sunday- what do I expect?

    It really depends on what you order. Moonroofs seems to be a major delay
  14. Ford ESP: Good choice or Boondoggle?

    I usually keep my cars well over 100,000 miles and many years. And since the BS is a new model, I'm thinking about going with the mac daddy of ESP warranties, the 7 year/150,000miles. I have questions: 1. Has anyone used the ESP warranties? What is your experience with covering repairs? I have...
  15. Big Bend v Outer Banks

    There is no denying that the 17" wheels offer many more choices for tires. I do agree the 17" wheels are just fine. I would not go with the OB for the wheels. But I like them a little better than the BB wheels. I'm rarely impressed with any OEM wheels. I've always wondered why so many OEM...
  16. Introducing the Ford Maverick Pickup! Featuring Standard Hybrid, 40MPG City, Under $20k Starting Price

    I really thought about switching to one of these. There are a few things holding me back. 1. Very ugly, especially compared to the Bronco Sport's legendary beauty. 2. Weird option packages - no leather, the Lariat has synthetic leather, only in brown if you want AWD. 3. I had a Maverick in...
  17. Big Bend v Outer Banks

    I've updated the list. Is the reverse sensing system even needed with a back-up camera? I'll bet that becomes obsolete in time.
  18. Big Bend v Outer Banks

    I had originally ordered a Big Bend, and I have recently changed to an Outer Banks, because I realized there are many upgrrades offered in the Outer Banks. It seems that there is more to it than just leather seats, some more meaningful than others. Cosmetic Body Color Door handles (black on...
  19. Waiting room

    I don't think that's fair. There are supply shortages and hold-ups everywhere. Go to Walmart Sunday in the evening the shelves are empty. I think Ford is just being as upfront as they can be given the supply chain issues, and all of these issues come from covid. Unless you desperately need a...
